“…For instance, Cai et al [1999] estimated LAB counts up to 10 7 -10 8 colony-forming units (CFU)/g in the intestine of common carp, Cyprinus carpio , mainly identified as Lactococcus garvieae , and also Pediococcus acidilactici and Enterococcus faecium . LAB diversity was particularly studied in freshwater fish [Bucio et al, 2006;Cai et al, 1999;González et al, 2000;Hagi et al, 2004], but LAB are also present in marine fish. Seppola et al [2006] characterized as carnobacteria all the culturable isolates from the hindgut chamber of Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua , to which they ascribed a role of fermentation chamber.…”

Many recent papers have deepened the state of knowledge about lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in fish gut. In spite of high variability in fish microbiota, LAB are sometimes abundant in the intestine, notably in freshwater fish. Several strains of Streptococcus are pathogenic to fish. Streptococcus iniae and Lactococcus garvieae are major fish pathogens, against which commercial vaccines are available. Fortunately, most LAB are harmless, and some strains have been reported for beneficial effects on fish health. A major step forward in recent years was the converging evidence that LAB can stimulate the immune system in fish. An open question is whether viability can affect immunostimulation. The issue is crucial to commercialize live probiotics rather than inactivated preparations or extracts. There has been a regain of interest in allochthonous strains used as probiotics for terrestrial animals or humans, due to economical and regulatory constraints, but the short survival in sea water may limit application to marine fish. If viability is required, alternative treatments may include the incorporation of prebiotics in feed, and other dietary manipulations that could promote intestinal LAB. Antagonism to pathogens is the other main feature of candidate probiotics, and there are many reports concerning mainly carnobacteria and Enterococcus. Some bacteriocins were characterized which may be of interest not only for aquaculture, but also for food preservation.

“…Several studies have demonstrated that LAB have been found in marine and freshwater fi sh (mainly from the gastrointestinal tract and gills) and their surrounding environment (Bucio et al, 2006;González et al, 2000;Ringø et al, 2000Ringø et al, , 2002Seppola et al, 2006). Moreover, LAB have recently become a major source of concern in aquaculture due to their pathological signifi cance (Michel et al, 1997).…”

“…This is explained by the influence of season in the lactic acid bacteria population in fish intestines. It has been reported that bacterial microflora of fish intestine changed depending on water temprature and season (Sugita et al, 1989;Alharbi and Uddin, 2004;Hagi et al, 2004;Bucio, 2006). Highest counts were found in summer and almost absence counts were found in winter.…”

The composition of intestinal lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in silver carp (Hypopthalmichthys molitrix) in Gheshlaghdam Lake was analyzed based on morphology and biochemical tests in December 2009 to March 2010. Most isolates were Gram-positive, non motile and catalase-negative bacilli that did not produce gas from glucose. Growth at 15°C was positive for all isolates, while it was positive for some isolates at 45°C.The results of the carbohydrate fermentation tests were positive reactions for most sugars. The results show that in winter, the predominant LAB were Lactococcus plantarum, Lactococcus raffinolactis and Lactococcus lactis, respectively.
