Harnessing the potentialities of probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, paraprobiotics, and postbiotics for shrimp farming

Abstract The shrimp farming industry is receiving increasing attention globally. However, extending the frontiers of has been a challenge as high stocking density often increases susceptibility to diseases and compromises quality. There huge adoption bacterial‐derived additives in recent decades, particularly Asia. Accumulating evidence demonstrates modulatory effect these functional on animal gut microbiota composition, thus making them potential alternatives antibiotics controlling infectious diseases, such acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND). These could be introduced various forms, probiotics, synbiotics, paraprobiotics, postbiotics. This article aims critically review previous studies that investigated effects bacterial derivatives, species. surge research years indirectly attested immense potentialities additives. Generally, introduction derivatives not only helped control but also demonstrated encouraging outcomes, including better survival rate, immune enhancement, growth promotion effects. It interesting note effectiveness probiotics extended beyond viability bacteria, leading concepts paraprobiotics Although this relatively new area with limited information, consolidate available data provide comprehensive overview state art arena. challenges each domain were discussed towards end insights into future niches.
