“…However, fish from the alternate regimen presented a significantly lower amount of erythrocytes (RBC) when compared to those of the control and the continuous regimen. Contrasting with these results, animals exposed to probiotics generally present higher RBC and leucocyte counts, due to the immunological capacity of probiotics (Talpur et al, 2014). In the present study, the resistance induced by the continuous probiotic supply may not have interfered with the production of RBC in fish from the continuous regime, as opposed to the observed in the fish from the alternate regime, which presented anemia.…”

“…The use of probiotics has been reported in aquaculture (Balcàzar et al, 2007;Wang, 2007;Aly et al, 2008;Dias et al, 2012) and in marine fish farming (Carnevali et al, 2006;Son et al, 2009;Barbosa et al, 2011), showing their efficacy as growth promoters, immune stimulants, and bioremediators in water quality. According to Jatobá et al (2008), probiotics can be a viable alternative to decrease the chemicals used in aquaculture.…”

-The objective of this work was to evaluate the addition of Bacillus subtilis probiotic to the feed of common snook (Centropomus undecimalis) fingerlings, in alternate and continuous regimens. Six hundred and sixty fish, with average length of 5.90±0.88 cm and weight of 1.92±0.28 g, were stocked in 12 cages of 1.0 m 3 , with 55 fish each. The experimental design was completely randomized, with three treatments and four replicates. The treatments consisted of diet with the addition of probiotic, provided in alternate regimen for 7 days and in continuous regimen; besides a control without probiotic in the feed. Zootechnical performance, body composition, immune response, and blood parameters were evaluated. No significant differences were observed in zootechnical performance indexes and in body composition of fish treated with probiotic, when compared to the control. Fish from the alternate regimen showed an increment in respiratory burst and a lower total erythrocyte count than fish from the continuous regimen and the control. Fish from the continuous regimen did not differ from those of the control. The addition of Bacillus subtilis does not increase growth rates of common snook fingerlings; however, it has an immunostimulant action when supplied in alternate regimen.Index terms: Bacillus subtilis, Centropomus undecimalis, hematology, immunostimulant, marine aquaculture, respiratory burst. Robalo-flecha alimentado em regimes alternado e contínuo com dieta suplementada com o probiótico Bacillus subtilisResumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a adição de Bacillus subtilis, como probiótico, na ração de juvenis de robalo-flecha (Centropomus undecimalis), em regimes de alimentação alternado e contínuo. Foram estocados 660 peixes com comprimento médio de 5,90±0,88 cm e peso médio de 1,92±0,28 g, em 12 tanques-rede de 1,0 m 3 , com 55 peixes cada um. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, com três tratamentos e quatro repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram de ração adicionada de probiótico, fornecida em regime alternado de 7 dias e em regime contínuo; além de controle sem probiótico na ração. Avaliaramse: desempenho zootécnico, composição corporal, resposta imune e parâmetros hematológicos. Não houve diferença significativa nos índices zootécnicos e na composição corporal dos peixes tratados com probiótico, em comparação ao controle. Os peixes do regime alternado apresentaram incremento na explosão respiratória e menor contagem total de eritrócitos do que os do regime contínuo e do controle. Os peixes do regime contínuo não diferiram dos do controle. A adição de Bacillus subtilis não promove o crescimento de juvenis de rebalo-peva; no entanto, tem ação imunoestimulante quando fornecido em regime alternado.Termos para indexação: Bacillus subtilis, Centropomus undecimalis, hematologia, imunoestimulante, piscicultura marinha, explosão respiratória.

“…However, food safety is of upmost importance, therefore diligent research and stringent regulations must be required before commercialization of GM products. The balance between nutritious, safe food production and maintaining environmental sustainability will rely on our ability to use new technologies to improve farming practices, and our ability to use as few resources as possible to provide for our society [80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95].…”

Global aquaculture production has increased in recent years and it is predicted that aquaculture will provide the most reliable supply of seafood in the future. However, there are many controversial issues in aquaculture regarding food safety, nutrition, and sustainability; many of which are directly related to the nutrition and feeds for farmed fish. These nutrition-related issues must be considered in order to achieve balance in safe and nutritious food production and sustainability in aquaculture. This review highlights recent studies and discusses new and innovative aspects in fish nutrition. Some issues in the area of fish nutrition require consideration and improvement, such as: feed and nutrient efficiency, overfeeding and waste, fish meal and fish oil replacements, fish health, biotechnology, and human health concerns. The findings reviewed in this manuscript demonstrate promise toward improvement of the aquaculture industry through nutrition. This review is an update in fish nutrition research, and provides insight on the progression and evolution of this field in order to meet the needs of the industry with the purpose to achieve a balance in seafood production and environmental sustainability. The outcome of this review encourages the use of biotechnology as a tool to meet seafood production and environmental sustainability, in order to ensure global food security in the future and to improve our resource use.

“…For example, addition of the probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum pro tected larvae of blue swimming crab Portunus pelagicus from infections by Vibrio harveyi (Talpur et al 2012). Similarly, addition of Lactobacillus acidophilus and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to the diet of Channa striata improved immune para meters and fish survival when infected with Aero monas hydrophila (Talpur et al 2014). Other substances such as β-glucans (Talpur et al 2014) have also gained momentum as immunostimulants alongside phytogenic feed additives (Peterson et al 2011, Giannenas et al 2012, all targeting the non-specific immune response (Sakai 1999).…”

In recent years, feed additives have increasingly been adopted by the aquaculture industry. These supplements not only offer an alternative to antibiotics but have also been linked to enhanced growth performance. However, the literature is still limited and provides contradictory information on their effectiveness. This is mainly due to the wide variety of available products and their complex mechanisms of action. Phytogenic feed additives have been shown to have antimicrobial effects and can improve growth performance. In the present study, we investigated the susceptibility of several fish pathogenic bacteria to a phytogenic essential oil product in vitro. In addition, we determined the protective effect of a commercial phytogenic feed additive containing oregano, anis and citrus oils on the resistance of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss to infection by Aeromonas salmonicida. The bacterium was administered through 3 different routes: intra-peritoneal injection, immersion in a bacterial solution and cohabitation with infected fish. Mortality rates were significantly lower in infected rainbow trout that had received the feed additive: the overall mortality rate across all routes of infection was 18% in fish fed a diet containing the additive compared to 37% in fish that received unsupplemented feed. The route of infection also significantly impacted mortality, with average mortality rates of 60, 17.5 and 5% for intraperitoneal injection, immersion and cohabitation, respectively. In general, fish were better protected against infection by immersion than infection by injection.
