Description
This review examines the role of probiotics in inland aquaculture, which accounts for 62.6% of farmed aquatic animals worldwide. As global aquaculture faces challenges such as environmental degradation, algal blooms, and the high cost of quality feeds, probiotics offer a sustainable, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative to improve production, profitability, and environmental resilience. The review explores probiotic sources, safety, applications, and benefits, including pathogen control, improved fish growth, stress responses, water quality, and feed digestibility. It also details approved probiotics for key farmed species like Nile tilapia, catfish, rainbow trout, and common carp, while identifying research gaps for future advancements in sustainable aquaculture.
