TLDR
It is shown that fish possess bacterial populations on or in their skin, gills, digestive tract, and light-emitting organs, and taxa, including Pseudomonas, may contribute to spoilage by the production of histamines in fish tissue.Abstract:
The results of numerous studies indicate that fish possess bacterial populations on or in their skin, gills, digestive tract, and light-emitting organs. In addition, the internal organs (kidney, liver, and spleen) of healthy fish may contain bacteria, but there is debate about whether or not muscle is actually sterile. Using traditional culture-dependent techniques, the numbers and taxonomic composition of the bacterial populations generally reflect those of the surrounding water. More modern culture-independent approaches have permitted the recognition of previously uncultured bacteria. The role of the organisms includes the ability to degrade complex molecules (therefore exercising a potential benefit in nutrition), to produce vitamins and polymers, and to be responsible for the emission of light by the light-emitting organs of deep-sea fish. Taxa, including Pseudomonas, may contribute to spoilage by the production of histamines in fish tissue.read more

Enzyme‐producing bacteria isolated from fish gut: a review
TL;DR: The present review will critically evaluate the experimental results on the secondary factor, enzymatic activity and possible contribution of the fish gut microbiota in nutrition to establish whether or not intestinal microbiota do contribute to fish nutrition.

Mucosal immunoglobulins and B cells of teleost fish
TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to summarise the current knowledge of mucosal immunoglobulins and B cells of fish MALT, and attempt to integrate the existing knowledge on both basic and applied research findings on fish mucosal immune responses to provide new directions that may facilitate the development of novel vaccination strategies.

TL;DR: The effect of dietary components on the gut microbiota is important to investigate, as the gastrointestinal tract has been suggested as one of the major routes of infection in fish.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that, regardless of their phylogenetic origin and tissue localization, the chief immunoglobulins of all mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue operate under the guidance of primordially conserved principles.

TL;DR: Successful rearing of early life stages of several marine fish species depends on knowledge of the complex interactions among the cultured organisms and the bacterial communities which develop at the mucosal surfaces and in the ambient water and rearing systems.

Use of Carnobacterium sp. as a probiotic for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum).
TL;DR: Feeding salmonids with diets containing the probiotic revealed that the isolate remained viable in the gastrointestinal tract, and challenge by cohabitation indicated effectiveness at reducing disease caused by A. salmonicida, V. ordalii and Y. ruckeri but not V. anguillarum.

TL;DR: There is a need for better microbial control during intensive larval production of marine larvae in intensive systems, and the use of probiotics has proven advantageous in domestic animal production, and microbial management may also have a potential in aquaculture.
