The effect of dietary supplementation of probiotic bacterium Bacillus licheniformis on the histopathological changes in Macrobrachium rosenbergii juveniles (4.0 AE 0.02 g) challenged with known pathogenic strain of Vibrio alginolyticus are reported. Two isocaloric basal diets supplemented with probiotic bacteria B. licheniformis (1.0 9 10 9 cfu/g feed) and other without probiotic supplementation were fed to the M. rosenbergii juveniles for 45 days. The histological observations revealed no significant changes in the hepatopancreas and gut tissues of both the experimental and the control groups which indicate that the present bacterium is a safe candidate probiont for the host. Prawns were challenged with V. alginolyticus after 45 days of feeding with probiotic diet. The histopathological studies of the hepatopancreas revealed that M. rosenbergii fed with probiotic-supplemented diet showed less changes as compared to the prawns fed with control diet on second and fourth day of post-experimental challenge with V. alginolyticus. Histopathological observations revealed that the gills of the prawns fed with control diet were severely affected in comparison to the prawns fed with probiotic-supplemented diet after challenging with V. alginolyticus. Results from this study revealed the improved protection by dietary incorporation of B. licheniformis in reducing the histopathological manifestations due to V. alginolyticus infection in freshwater prawn.

“…Probiotic Bacillus licheniformis was shown to significantly increase the survival of prawn challenged with pathogenic Vibrio alginolyticus (Nadella et al, 2018). Balasundaram et al (2012) reported that inclusion of a commercial probiotic into the feed (3%) decreased the mortality of prawns injected with pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus from 59% to 13%. Hindu, Chandrasekaran, et al (2018) and Hindu, Thanigaivel, et al (2018) reported that Bacillus vireti , isolated from the intestine of M. rosenbergii increased the survival of prawns challenged with pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila and Pseudomonas aeruginosa .…”

The giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) is a high‐yielding prawn variety well‐received worldwide due to its ability to adapt to freshwater culture systems. Macrobrachium rosenbergii is an alternative to shrimp typically obtained from marine and brackish aquaculture systems. However, the use of intensive culture systems can lead to disease outbreaks, particularly in larval and post‐larval stages, caused by pathogenic agents such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeasts and protozoans. White tail disease (viral), white spot syndrome (viral) and bacterial necrosis are examples of economically significant diseases. Given the increasing antibiotic resistance of disease‐causing microorganisms, probiotics have emerged as promising alternatives for disease control. Probiotics are live active microbes that are introduced into a target host in an adequate number or dose to promote its health. In the present paper, we first discuss the diseases that occur in M. rosenbergii production, followed by an in‐depth discussion on probiotics. We elaborate on the common methods of probiotics administration and explain the beneficial health effects of probiotics as immunity enhancers. Moreover, we discuss the antagonistic effects of probiotics on pathogenic microorganisms. Altogether, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of disease control in M. rosenbergii aquaculture through the use of probiotics, which could enhance the sustainability of prawn culture.

“…Probiotic supplementation can result in a range of beneficial effects, including enhanced health, immunity, survival and growth in a wide variety of cultured aquatic organisms. Although there have been many studies investigating probiotics for cultured finfish and crustaceans (Allameh et al, 2012;Andani et al, 2012;Balasundaram et al, 2012;Decamp et al, 2008;Keysami et al, 2012;Tapia-Paniagua et al, 2010), there have been relatively few reports describing probiotics for cultured molluscs such as abalone (Iehata et al, 2009(Iehata et al, , 2010Macey and Coyne, 2005;Silva-Aciares et al, 2011;ten Doeschate and Coyne, 2008).…”
