Aquaculture
• Aquaculture is the managed cultivation of
aquatic species such as shrimp, catfish, trout,
eel, shellfish, and so on, typically in an artificial
system of ponds, raceways, and reservoirs.
• High density stocking, intensive feeding and
careful management of water conditions such
as oxygen and ammonia levels, pH balance,
and so on are all part of a well-managed
aquaculture system.
• Microorganisms, particularly bacteria,
primarily assimilate uneaten feed, faeces,
nitrogenous metabolites, plankton remains,
and other wastes in aquaculture ponds.

Need for Probiotics in Aquaculture
• Stress is caused in fish and shrimp by high stocking densities and
intensive culture practices.
• Several antibiotics, pesticides, and disinfectants are used
indiscriminately for disease control.
• Such applications contribute to the evolution and spread of drug-
resistant strains of pathogenic bacteria, resulting in a negative
impact on the environment and a risk to aquatic animal health.
• Disease outbreaks are becoming more common as a result of
increased environmental (Abiotic) and aquatic (biotic) stress.
• Production is being reduced, posing a threat to aquaculture's
long-term viability.
• Excess algal blooms due to overabundance of nutrients.
• Due to the aforementioned parameters, there is a lack of
dissolved oxygen in the water.
Degradation of pond bottom organics
• Enzymes are a special group of complex proteins found in
all living organisms. Various enzymes are secreted by
bacteria to break down complex set of pollutants into Complex soluble BOD
simple form. Enzymes accelerate the rate reactions as Particulate BOD Colloidal BOD
much as 1,000,000 times the rate of uncatalyzed reactions
and permit the occurrence of biochemical reactions.
• The simple form of pollutants are further consumed by
various microorganisms for their own growth and energy.
Thus there is reduction in the BOD values.
• Simplistic soluble substrates, cBOD, nBOD (ionized
nBOD Simple soluble BOD
ammonia and nitrite), and some lipids, are easily

absorbed by bacterial cells. Other substrates are adsorbed
to bacteria and are solublized through the action of
exoenzymes or conveyed into the cell with specific
transport molecules (proteins).

• Enzymes are a type of complex protein that are found in all living things. Hundreds of enzymes are present in most cells, and
enzymes are constantly manufactured. Enzymes are biological processes catalysts. Enzymes may speed up processes by up to 1
million times the pace of uncatalyzed reactions and allow biological reactions to take place at temperatures that live cells can
tolerate
• Enzymes serve as a surface or active location for biological events to take place. The active site is a binding site, which means it
creates a weak connection with the molecules on which the enzyme functions. Enzymes, on the other hand, are particular in
terms of the substrates or substances that they may destroy or manufacture
• When a substrate comes in contact with an appropriate site of an enzyme, an enzyme–substrate complex is formed. Once the
complex is formed, chemical bonds in the substrate are weakened, and the substrate is degraded by catabolism to simpler
molecules as shown in the above pictorial as 1,2,3

• Understanding the principal of Competitive Exclusion: No two species can occupy the same
area indefinitely from the same limiting resources. If they do they will compete with one
another for the same food and resources . Eventually , one species will out compete the
other. The weaker species will either go extinct or will be removed from the system.
