Use of Yeasts as Probiotics in Fish Aquaculture
نویسندگان
چکیده
According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), “aquaculture, probably the fastest growing food-producing sector, now accounts for nearly 50 percent of the world's food fish” [1]. However, production is hampered by unpredictable mortalities that may be due to the negative interactions between fish and pathogenic bacteria. Intensive fish farming has resulted in a problematic growth in bacterial diseases, prompting the necessary and intensive use of antimicrobials for their treatment.

متن کاملAquaculture and stress management: a review of probiotic intervention.
To meet the ever-increasing demand for animal protein, aquaculture continuously requires new techniques to increase the production yield. However, with every step towards intensification of aquaculture practices, there is an increase in stress level on the animal as well as on the environment. Feeding practices in aqua farming usually plays an important role, and the addition of various additiv...
متن کاملStudy and characterization of intestinal yeasts of mullet (Mugil spp.) for potential probiotic use
Intestinal yeasts were isolated from 39 fish belonging to five different species of the Mugil genus. Among 42 isolates, 38 different strains belonging to 15 genera and 25 species were identified and characterized for adhesion to epitelial fish mucus, antagonistic properties against bacterial pathogens, production of enzymatic activity and biochemical properties.A great variability was found in ...
