“…In our previous studies, we reported on the beneficial effects of B. subtilis WB60 alone or combination with other probiotics in terms of improved growth, immunity, gut architecture, and stress resistance in Japanese eel [ 17 ], Nile tilapia [ 25 ], and whiteleg shrimp [ 26 ]. Likewise, Chen et al [ 27 , 28 ] reported the positive effects of B. subtilis with multi-strains of probiotics in the diets of freshwater grass carp fish and whiteleg shrimp. Furthermore, the Enterococcus faecium is a Gram-positive, alpha-hemolytic or non-hemolytic bacterium which has a potential probiotic effect in aquaculture, as previously described by Da Costa Sousa et al [ 29 ].…”

We investigated the three probiotic bacteria and a processed yeast (GroPro-Aqua) as the replacers of antibiotics in juvenile olive flounder. A total of seven diets were used, that is, one basal or control (CON) diet; and six other diets, of which, three diets were prepared by supplementing probiotic bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis WB60 (BSWB60) at 1 × 108 CFU/g diet, Bacillus subtilis SJ10 (BSSJ10) at 1 × 108 CFU/g diet, and Enterococcus faecium SH30 (EFSH30) at 1 × 107 CFU/g diet; one diet with processed yeast (GRO) at 0.35% diet; and two other diets were supplemented with oxytetracycline (OTC) and amoxicillin (AMO) at 4 g/kg of each. Triplicate groups of fish (average 12.1 g) were fed one of the diets for eight weeks. At the end of the feeding trial, the fish that were fed the probiotic bacteria-supplemented diets had a significantly higher final weight, weight gain, and specific growth rate compared to the CON, OTC, and AMO diets. Fish that were fed the GRO diet had significantly higher feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratios than those of the fish that were fed the CON diet. Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glucose, and total protein were not affected by the diets. Lysozyme activity in fish that were fed the BSSJ10, BSWB60, and EFSH30 diets were significantly higher compared to the CON and OTC diets, whereas myeloperoxidase activity of fish fed the BSWB60 and EFSH30 diets were significantly higher than those of fish fed the CON and AMO diets. Flounder growth hormone gene expressions of fish that were fed BSWB60 and GRO diets were significantly higher compared to the CON, OTC, and AMO diets. The interleukin-1β gene expression of fish that were fed the BSSJ10, BSWB60, EFSH30, OTC, and GRO diets was significantly higher than those of fish fed the CON diet. The interleukin-10 gene expression of fish that were fed the BSSJ10, EFSH30, and GRO diets was significantly higher than those of fish fed the CON and AMO diets. Posterior intestinal histology of fish showed significantly higher villi length in fish that were fed the BSSJ10, BSWB60, EFSH30, and GRO diets compared to the CON diet. After 15 days of challenge test with pathogenic bacteria Edwardsiella tarda, the cumulative survival rate of fish that were fed the BSSJ10, BSWB60, EFSH30, and GRO diets were significantly higher than those of fish that were fed the CON diet. Overall, the results indicate that dietary supplementation of B. subtilis (108 CFU/g diet), E. faecium (107 CFU/g diet), and processed yeast (GroPro-Aqua at 0.35% diet) could replace the antibiotics in terms of improving growth, immunity, gut health, and disease resistance in juvenile olive flounder.

“…Dietary supplementation of 0.25% and 0.50% chitosan and chitosan oligosaccharide enhanced the anti-stress ability of Oncorhynchus mykiss and Carassius auratus gibelio, respectively, against some environmental stressors (Meshkini et al 2012;Yong 2014). Similarly, dietary intake of chitin or chitosan was found to improve hypoxia tolerance in Litopenaeus vannamei and Penaeus monodon (Niu et al 2011;Niu et al 2013), thermal (34°C) stress tolerance in Rutilus frisii kutum (Najafabad et al 2016) and ammonia tolerance in Litopenaeus vannamei (Chen et al 2020d). Further, dietary supplementation of chitosan/chitosan nanoparticle along with vitamin C reduced pesticide toxicity in common carp and tilapia (Sharifinasab et al 2016;Naiel et al 2020).…”

“…The polysaccharide chitin (the major component of crustacean and insect exoskeletons and certain fungal cell walls) and chitosan (the deacetylated product of chitin) enhanced the immune and antioxidant defence as well as disease resistance in several aquaculture species by modulating nonspecific cellular and humoral defence mechanisms (Gopalakannan & Arul 2006;Harikrishnan et al 2012;Niu et al 2013;. Many studies also documented the antimicrobial and anti-stress potential (Table 6) of chitin and its derivatives, with chitosan as a promising compound (Najafabad et al 2016;Verlee et al 2017;Yan et al 2017b;Chen et al 2020d). Dietary supplementation of 0.25% and 0.50% chitosan and chitosan oligosaccharide enhanced the anti-stress ability of Oncorhynchus mykiss and Carassius auratus gibelio, respectively, against some environmental stressors (Meshkini et al 2012;Yong 2014).…”

Reviews in Aquaculture

Over the last few decades, the demand-driven growth in aquaculture has been tremendous due to development and adoption of cutting-edge technologies and production systems such as intensification and high input aquaculture. This growth, however, has witnessed an insurgence of various environmental and husbandry-related stressors posing major challenges to the aquaculture sector limiting its further expansion worldwide. These stressful conditions impair the health of cultured animals and predispose them to diseases resulting in economic losses. Hence, optimizing the stress resilience of the cultured species is paramount to ensure sustainable development of aquaculture sector. Addressing the concerns of stress mitigation in aquaculture, a plethora of research investigations have been intensively carried out all over the world targeting the management of cultured environment as well as cultured species. Among various mitigation strategies, dietary interventions appear to be pliable and a sustainable approach to develop immunocompetence and stress resistance in fish as requirement of several nutrients may increase under stressful conditions. The suboptimal and/or excessive levels of several essential and non-essential nutrients modulate the immune response and stress/disease resistance. Hence, the present review is an inclusive and informative compilation of dietary interventions for management of stress in aquaculture. This review highlights the stress-mitigating roles of different nutritive and non-nutritive compounds/additives such as amino acids, essential fatty acids, phospholipids, vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, different synthetic chemicals and biological derivatives from bacteria, yeast, fungi, algae, plants and animals as a promising stress management strategy to enhance the overall performance of the cultured species.
