Would Bacteriophages Be a New Old Complement to Antibiotics in Aquaculture?

Dietary poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate supplementation can effectively improve growth, digestive enzyme activities, immune‐related gene expression, disease resistance, and intestinal mucosal barrier of gibel carp, Carassius auratus gibelio

“…with larger losses are often found in fish culture practice, since these pathogens actually exist in the water and sediments in a pond, and intestine of carps (She et al, 2017; Ran et al, 2021). Generally, for the bacterial pathogens, antibiotics are the most common approach to treat and prevent their infection, but the usage of antibiotics can cause microbial dysbiosis, emergence of antibiotic‐resistant pathogenic bacteria, and antibiotics residue in aquatic products, which will further endanger human health and environment (Liu et al, 2017; Vincent et al, 2019). For viral diseases, there is still no effective method to control CyHV‐2 infection, although some vaccines have been reported (Li et al, 2019; Yan et al, 2020).…”
