Probiotic Bacilli in Sustainable Aquaculture

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bacilli and Agrobiotechnology: Phytostimulation and Biocontrol

Abstract

Aquaculture is a fast-growing industry for producing fish and shrimps intensively from the limited land resources. It provides 47% of the total food fish supply to the global population, thus contributing significantly to the nutritional security of human. Indiscriminate use of synthetic chemicals and intensive nature of aquaculture system, incidence of disease, development of antibiotic resistance in major pathogens, and low productivity due to deterioration of environment pose threats to the future sustainability of aquaculture industry. The beneficial probiotic bacteria under the genus Bacillus are effective in promoting growth, suppressing diseases, and inducing systemic resistance in fish and shrimp hosts, and improving overall environment for sustainable aquaculture system. These living organisms are now considered as safe alternatives to the hazardous synthetic antibiotics and other growth-promoting substances currently used in aquaculture. The mode of beneficial effects of the probiotic bacilli on fish and shrimp has largely been unknown. Current genomics and post-genomics (such as genome editing) would not only allow us to precisely understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of the beneficial effects of the elite strains of bacilli but also improve the specific traits of the strains for the aquaculture industry. Efforts are needed to discover elite strains of bacilli from the native fishes and shrimps and utilize them for promoting eco-friendly and low-input sustainable aquaculture for ensuring food and nutritional security of the growing population of the world.
