Abstract
Microbial techniques of biocontrol using the interaction of microorganisms to repress the growth of deleterious bacteria and viruses were developed. The bacterial strain used in this work also improved the growth of fishes and crustaceans. Using the concept and procedures of the biocontrol method described here, the aquaculture production became stable and even increased.
