Probiotic Bacteria as Biological Control Agents in Aquaculture
TL;DR: This review describes the state of the art of probiotic research in the culture of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and live food, with an evaluation of the results obtained so far.
Journal ArticleDOI
Innate immunity of fish (overview).
TL;DR: The innate immune system is the only defence weapon of invertebrates and a fundamental defence mechanism of fish and plays an instructive role in the acquired immune response and homeostasis and is therefore equally important in higher vertebrates.

José Luis Balcázar,Ignacio de Blas,Imanol Ruiz-Zarzuela,David Cunningham,Daniel Vendrell,José Luis Múzquiz +5 more
TL;DR: This review provides a summary of the use of probiotics for prevention of bacterial diseases in aquaculture, with a critical evaluation of results obtained to date.

Daniel L. Merrifield,Arkadios Dimitroglou,Andrew D. Foey,Simon J. Davies,R.T.M. Baker,Jarl Bøgwald,Mathieu Castex,Einar Ringø +7 more
TL;DR: The application of probiotics and prebiotics may result in elevated health status, improved disease resistance, growth performance, body composition, reduced malformations and improved gut morphology and microbial balance.

Probiotics in aquaculture
Agus Irianto,Brian Austin +1 more
TL;DR: There is accumulating evidence that probiotics are effective at inhibiting a wide range of fish pathogens, but the reasons for the inhibitions are often unstated.

Role of nitric oxide synthesis in macrophage antimicrobial activity.
TL;DR: It is suggested that synthesis of NO mediates much of the antimicrobial activity of mouse macrophages against some fungal, helminthic, protozoal and bacterial pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary intake of immunostimulants by rainbow trout affects non-specific immunity and protection against furunculosis
TL;DR: A challenge with the virulent pathogen that causes furunculosis, Aeromonas salmonicida, showed that the immunostimulated groups of fish were more resistant to the disease, confirming the potential use of these substances in fish culture for the prevention of disease.

Immunostimulants, adjuvants, and vaccine carriers in fish: Applications to aquaculture
TL;DR: Concepts of use of immunostimulants, adjuvants, and vaccine carriers in fish hold tremendous potential for use in fish farms, hatcheries, and aquaculture facilities to reduce losses from infectious diseases.

Bactericidal activity of human lactoferrin: sensitivity of a variety of microorganisms.
R R Arnold,M Brewer,J J Gauthier +2 more
TL;DR: Variable susceptibilities for a variety of different microorganisms are demonstrated and it appears that there may be a relation between virulence and resistance to lactoferrin.

Immunostimulation of tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) hemocytes for generation of microbicidal substances: analysis of reactive oxygen species.
Yen-Ling Song,Yeun-Ting Hsieh +1 more
TL;DR: NBT staining was used to determine the presence of superoxide anions produced by tiger shrimp hemocytes attached to a coverslip, and it was found that beta-glucan had the strongest stimulative effect, followed by zymosan and PMA (7.2 and 2.6 nmol/mg, respectively).
