Probiotics in Aquaculture Environments


Probiotics have been described as the opposite of antibiotics. While antibiotics destroy life, probiotics build up or promote life. The function of a probiotic is to improve the growth and development of the normal, desirable microbial population allowing them to maintain domination over the undesirable organisms.
The word “probiotic” is derived from the Greek meaning “for life.” Probiotics are “mono- or mixed cultures of live micro-organisms which beneficially affect the host by improving the properties of the indigenous microflora.
