Abstract :
The studies and researches of scientists in recent years have revealed the health-giving properties of some microorganisms on humans and animals, such as anti-mutagenic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-disinfectant, cholesterol reduction, improvement of some nutritional incompatibilities, and increasing growth efficiency and the like. Today, these microorganisms are known as probiotics, the term "probiotic" is derived from the Greek words "pro" and "bios" meaning "for life". Aquaculture is one of the important sectors of agriculture, which has been associated with a very favorable growth in recent years. The development of aquaculture, despite having many advantages, has always faced problems such as water quality, the spread of diseases, and nutritional problems. He used the necessary and effective alternatives to protect aquaculture against diseases and the development and growth of this industry. Some alternatives such as the use of probiotics have been suggested to improve the performance of fish. Today, the effects of probiotics on growth, nutrition, reducing antibiotic consumption, improving water quality, improving reproduction, strengthening immune systems and some other things have been proven in aquaculture, but unfortunately, it is still not widely used.
