Probiotics are micro-organisms or their products, used for the health welfare of the host; have found use in aquaculture as a means of alternate disease control agents, supplementing or even in some cases replacing the use of antimicrobial compounds. A wide range of microalgae, yeasts and gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis, Carnobacterium, Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Micrococcus, Streptococcus and Weissella) and gram-negative (Aeromonas, Altermonas, Photorhodobacterium, Pseudomonas and Vibrio) bacteria have been isolated and used aquatic medium as probiotics. These actively inhibit colonization of potential pathogens in the digestive tract of aquatic animals by antibiosis or by competition for nutrients or space or by alteration of microbial metabolism, and also by the stimulation of host immunity. Aerobic gram-positive endospore-forming bacteria i.e., Bacillus spp. is used as probiotics for the improvement of water quality with vitamin C and influences the composition of water borne microbial population and reduces the number of pathogens in the vicinity of farmed species.
