Probiotics and sea cucumber farming

With the development of sea cucumber farming, new diseases are expected to appear in the near future. To prevent aquaculture-related diseases, antibiotics are generally used in large quantities although their unlimited application results in the appearance of new virulent pathogens. Probiotic technology is rapidly becoming popular due to its effectiveness against pathogenic microorganisms. This work emphasises the use of probiotics against pathogens in the sea cucumber farming industry.
