Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The application of probiotics in aquaculture has gained significant attention in recent years as a promising alternative to traditional methods of disease control and environmental management. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer health benefits to the host organism. In aquaculture, probiotics can be used to improve water quality, enhance growth and survival rates, boost immune responses, and reduce reliance on antibiotics and chemical treatments. When applying probiotics in aquaculture, it is very important to consider factors such as strain selection, dosage, application methods, and environmental conditions that can influence the efficacy of probiotic treatments. In addition, it is necessary to establish regulatory frameworks and quality control measures to guarantee the safety and efficacy of probiotic products in aquaculture.
In this Special Issue, we invite you to submit original research papers and reviews.
Dr. Antonio Luna-González
