Abstract: The use of probiotics in aquaculture is now generally acknowledged due to the rising need for environmentally friendly aquaculture. But it is obvious that we need to know more about gut microbiology, optimal probiotic production, and probiotic safety evaluation. Probiotics, which have long been used to raise animals, are now being employed in aquaculture. Live cells or a substrate that enhances immune function, improves digestion, and stimulates development are referred to as probiotics. Probiotics can help enhance the quality of water. Because of their significance and future potential in aquaculture systems, probiotics are already frequently used. Commercial and local fish growing facilities in aquaculture systems can be promoted by more up-to-date probiotic production, validation, and usage. This article provides an overview of current knowledge about the use of probiotics in aquaculture, including a description of their application, possibilities, and challenges. It also defines probiotics and explains how they work.
