“…This may potentially be a problem when supplying probionts through the live feed as different kinds of live feed already have different established microbiotas (Austin and Allen, 1982;Berland et al, 1970;Grossart and Simon, 2007;López-Torres and Lizárraga-Partida, 2001;Nakase and Eguchi, 2007;Salvesen et al, 2000;Van Stappen, 1996).
