“…Previous studies ( Asaduzzaman et al, 2018 ; Ramos et al, 2013 ; Siriyappagouder et al, 2018 ) reported that probiotics had short term effects on Tor tambroides , Oncorhynchus mykiss , and zebrafish. However, Yeh et al (2020) reported that probiotics had long-term effects in oyster aquaculture. Therefore, probiotics containing Bacillus species can be considered as effective probiotics because they improve the intestinal environment of fish through biological conditioning and control agents.…”

Highlights Growth and survival % were significantly increased in in-feed probiotics treated pangasius fry. Growth performances of treated groups at fingerling and grow-out phases were higher. Hematological parameters including hemoglobin, RBC and WBC were significantly higher in treatment groups. Gut microbiota content was relatively higher in probiotic treated groups at fingerling phase. Probiotics impact positively changed intestinal morphological structures of pangasius in treatment groups.

“…Probiotics can compete with pathogens by producing diverse antimicrobial substances (bacteriocins, antioxidant molecules), modulating the innate immune system of the host, interfering with microbial communication systems (quorum quenching effect), producing beneficial metabolites, and helping for nutrient adsorption [ 123 ]. Regarding probiotics for oyster farming, two of the above strategies are being developed: the direct competition with pathogens and the modulation of the innate immune system [ 124 ]. For example, exposure of C. gigas larvae to Pseudoalteromonas sp.…”

The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas lives in microbe-rich marine coastal systems subjected to rapid environmental changes. It harbours a diversified and fluctuating microbiota that cohabits with immune cells expressing a diversified immune gene repertoire. In the early stages of oyster development, just after fertilization, the microbiota plays a key role in educating the immune system. Exposure to a rich microbial environment at the larval stage leads to an increase in immune competence throughout the life of the oyster, conferring a better protection against pathogenic infections at later juvenile/adult stages. This beneficial effect, which is intergenerational, is associated with epigenetic remodelling. At juvenile stages, the educated immune system participates in the control of the homeostasis. In particular, the microbiota is fine-tuned by oyster antimicrobial peptides acting through specific and synergistic effects. However, this balance is fragile, as illustrated by the Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome, a disease causing mass mortalities in oysters worldwide. In this disease, the weakening of oyster immune defences by OsHV-1 µVar virus induces a dysbiosis leading to fatal sepsis. This review illustrates the continuous interaction between the highly diversified oyster immune system and its dynamic microbiota throughout its life, and the importance of this cross-talk for oyster health. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Sculpting the microbiome: how host factors determine and respond to microbial colonization’.

“…The persistence of bacteria in oyster tissues depends on their resistance to the bactericidal activity of the hemolymph [ 19 ]. Indeed, the host resident bacteria of this circulatory fluid provide health benefits to the oyster [ 20 ] this circulatory fluid can provide information pertinent to the health assessment of bivalve populations.…”

A One-Year Systematic Study to Assess the Microbiological Profile in Oysters from a Commercial Harvesting Area in Portugal

As filter-feeding animals farmed in water bodies exposed to anthropogenic influences, oysters can be both useful bioremediators and high-risk foodstuffs, considering that they are typically consumed raw. Understanding the dynamic of bacterial and viral load in Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) tissues, hemolymph, outer shell surface biofilm, and farming water is therefore of great importance for microbiological risk assessment. A one-year survey of oysters collected from a class B production area (Canal de Mira, on the Portuguese western coast) revealed that these bivalve mollusks have a good depurating capacity with regard to bacteria, as Salmonella spp. and viable enterococci were not detected in any oyster flesh (edible portion) samples, despite the fact that these bacteria have regularly been found in the farming waters. Furthermore, the level of Escherichia coli contamination was clearly below the legal limit in oysters reared in a class B area (>230–≤4600 MPN E. coli/100 g). On the contrary, norovirus was repeatedly detected in the digestive glands of oysters sampled in autumn, winter, and spring. However, their presence in farming waters was only detected during winter.
