The effects of probiotics‐supplemented diets on Asian sea bass ( Lates calcarifer ): Growth performance, microbial flora, digestive enzymes activity, serum biochemical and non‐specific immune indices

Abstract

In recent years, the aquaculture industry has extended significantly and has moved towards intensive and super-intensive systems due to the growth in the world population and the demand to provide food from diverse sources. As a result, the importance of the need for water quality control, nutrition and disease prevention is increasingly felt in the aquaculture industry (Chelemal Dezfoulnejad & Molayemraftar, 2021;FAO, 2021). In the past decades, many researchers have studied various aspects of the administration of

Current Status of Probiotics in European Sea Bass Aquaculture as One Important Mediterranean and Atlantic Commercial Species: A Review

“…Although European sea bass are one of the most used species in European aquaculture, especially in the Mediterranean region, they are surprisingly underexplored in research compared to other global species. Species such as tilapia, carp, trout, and even Asian sea bass are well researched in reference to probiotics [2,[107][108][109]. Apart from the aforementioned European sea bass references, numerous investigations have been described on the use of probiotics in Atlantic and Mediterranean species such as sole [110][111][112], sea bream [113,114], and turbot [115,116].…”
