Multiple Characteristics Considered In Selection Of Probiotics For Marine Shrimp

摘要

The authors conducted studies in Brazil to develop a probi otic for marine shrimp cultivation. They chose a bacterium with the highest growth velocity, greatest capacity to inhibit pathogens, and capacity to resist biliary salts and different plT values and salinities. After 75 days of cultivation, shrimp whose diet was supplemented with Lactobacillus plant arum had a higher surival rate and lower feed-conversion rate than control shrimp, with no alteration in their growth rate.
