“…As observed by Vieira et al (2008) in laboratory conditions, the present study demonstrated that the diets supplemented with L. plantarum also altered the microbiota of shrimp on farm. The presence of lactic acid bacteria in the intestinal tract can enhance the animal immune system, resulting in shrimp more resistant to disease in the cultivation environment.…”

“…In L. vannamei, the use of a diet supplemented with L. plantarum stimulated an immunological response as reported by Vieira et al (2008Vieira et al ( , 2010. However, we observed no differences in immunological parameters between treatments (P≥0.05) ( Table 4).…”

“…Gatesoupe (1999) defined a probiotic as "microbial cells that are administered in such a way as to be kept alive, with the aim of improving health". The use of probiotics produces benefits for marine shrimp by improving the balance of the intestinal microbiota (Vieira et al, 2008), survival (Pham et al, 2014), resistance to infection by pathogens (AguileraRivera et al, 2014), immune stimulation (Ferreira et al, 2015), and diet digestibility (Buglione Neto, 2009). Unlike antibiotics, this method does not leave any residues in the shrimp meat (Kesarcodi-Watson et al, 2008).…”

“…However, most studies on probiotics and marine crustaceans have been performed on a small laboratory scale and under controlled laboratory conditions (Vieira et al, 2007(Vieira et al, , 2008(Vieira et al, , 2010Pham et al, 2014;Ferreira et al, 2015). Because laboratory conditions do not always match the conditions on commercial farms, there is a need for studies on the use of probiotics on commercial farms.…”

-The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of a diet supplemented with Lactobacillus plantarum on performance, immunological parameters, and bacterial microbiota of the digestive tract of white leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). We used six earthen ponds (1.2 ha) stocked with 14 shrimp m −2 (3 g mean weight). Three ponds received a diet supplemented with L. plantarum and three were maintained as control. The survival and feed efficiency of shrimp fed the supplemented diet were greater than that observed in shrimp fed the control diet, with survival values of 83.02±6.12% and 74.65±9.07% and feed efficiencies of 117.97±4.45% and 104.46±7.30%, respectively. However, we observed no differences in weight gain. The intestines of shrimp fed probiotics had lower counts of Vibrio spp. and higher counts of lactic acid bacteria, compared with those of control shrimp. Diets supplemented with L. plantarum alter the intestinal bacterial microbiota of shrimp, resulting in increased survival and feed efficiency.

“…Nevertheless, several studies have demonstrated that such bacterial microbiota can be modified by the addition of Gram-positive bacteria in the diet (Ziaei-Nejad et al, 2006;Vieira et al, 2008) or in the culture water (Rengpipat et al 1998;. Accordingly, in the present study, shrimp fed L. plantarum supplemented diet showed less viable total and vibrio bacteria, and high amounts of lactic bacteria.…”

The effect of a Lactobacillus plantarum-supplemented diet on shrimp growth, digestive tract bacterial microbiota, survival, and some hemato-immunological parameters after an experimental challenge with Vibrio harveyi was studied. No difference (P>0.05) was observed in shrimp survival (80±6%) and final weight (6.63±0.56g) after 60 days feeding trial. Total bacteria count and Vibrio spp. count in the digestive tract were not diferent (P>0.05) until day 40, but they were lower (P<0.05) in the probiotic-supplemented group on day 60. Total lactic bacteria in the shrimp digestive tract was higher after day 20 in the probiotic-supplemented group. Ten hours after V. harveyi challenge, survival of the probiotic-supplemented group (65.7±2.9%) was higher (P>0.05) than the control group (39.9±4.4%). Bacterial counts in hemolymph and hepatopancreas was lower (P<0.05) in the probiotic-supplemented group than in the control group after V. harveyi challenge. Total hemocyte count and serum agglutination activity were higher (P>0.05) in the probiotic-supplemented group after challenge with V. harveyi. Probiotic-supplemented diet modifies shrimp digestive tract bacterial microbiota, increasing resistance to V. harveyi infection.

Crustacean aquaculture, and more specifically shrimp culture, faces several challenges in order to increase production yield while maintaining sustainability. The various disease outbreaks that have been continuously affecting the sector for almost two decades, together with the increasing demand for environmentally friendly aquaculture and the pressure from customers for safe and traceable products, are fundamentally modifying the culture practices of shrimp and other crustacean species. It is today well accepted that these challenges can only be faced through the development of better management practices together with technical innovations. Among the solutions currently considered, those relying on nutrition and intestinal health management can play a critical role. The application of probiotics in aquaculture has been developed in this context and is now widely applied in crustacean aquaculture as a complementary tool for management of disease. This development is mostly driven by practical and empirical approaches in shrimp farming; however, specific in-depth studies related to the biological effects and mechanisms of action of probiotics in crustaceans are gaining more importance. This chapter presents a review of the research conducted on probiotic applications in crustacean species with special emphasis on the modes of action investigated so far and the main benefits derived from it. The limits and future perspectives are also addressed.
