Abstract

Average consumption of aquaculture products increases every year. To meet these needs, cultivation activities have been developed into intensified cultivation systems. Unfortunately, intensification of cultivation often causes a decline in environmental conditions which ultimately causes problems in the form of disease. Continuous use of antibiotics can cause pathogenic bacteria to become resistant. So now probiotics have been developed in the field of aquaculture. Probiotics are live microorganisms which, when given in adequate quantities, provide health benefits to the host. This review will discuss the application of probiotics in the field of aquaculture. Several studies have shown the benefits of probiotics, namely as a good growth promoter, inhibiting the growth of pathogens, increasing intestinal absorption and digestion, improving water quality, effects on fish reproduction
