ABSTRACT
The objective of the present study is to understand the importance and use of Probiotics in
Aquaculture. The research on the use of probiotics in aquaculture is huge and extensively used.
The Lactobacilli was isolated from fish gut. For experimental treatment, the fish were divided
into two groups; one with Probiotics & commercial food, other group was supplemented only
with commercial food. For feeding probiotics to fish the microencapsulation method was used
which is employed by extrusion technique. Weight taken after every 5 days during 30 days
experiment. At the end fish growth parameters was determined by the fish body length, weight,
survival ratio and then compared between probiotic and non-probiotic group. Result showed that
the increasing body length, weight and survival ratio is significantly higher than the control
group. According to this data, the use of probiotics in aquaculture has an important nutritional
feed to promote fish healthy gut which affects their immune system, growth performance and
survival ratio.
