Abstract
A brief review of live bacterial cells with diversified beneficial features as warriors in aquaculture is focused and explored in multiple ways in and around the world. There are many reports on Probiotics’ potential widely employed in humans and in farmed animals. Probiotic feed are the wider practice in aquaculture industry. In this review, themes discussed are the aquatic probiotics, types, forms, selection criteria, application of probiotics and benefits of the same.
