| Abstract: | The development and intensification of Nile tilapia farming systems has happened together with ever increased use of antibiotics and therapeutants. Research on the use of probiotics has come along as alternative to routine use of antibiotics in fish diets. The manipulation of the gut microbiota through dietary probiotic inclusion targeting improved growth rate and disease resistance has been investigated in many farmed fish species. However, mechanisms underlying modulation of fish immune response remains unclear. This review summarizes and discuss recent findings in the role of probiotics on the immunity of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus addressing available information regarding immunological parameters such as phagocytic activity, lysozyme, respiratory burst activity, antioxidant enzymes, complement system as well as immune-related gene expression, in the aim to foster research efforts on effective strategies for the successful use of probiotics in the tilapia farming industry. |
