Genera abbreviations: B . = Bacillus , C . = Carnobacterium , E. = Enterococcus , Lb . = Lactobacillus , Lc. = Lactococcus ,
Ps. = Pseudomonas , S. = Saccharomyces .
Parameters investigated: BC = body composition, DR = disease resistance, DE-A = digestive/intestinal enzymes, GM = gut
microbiota (inclusive of GI probiont recovery), GP = growth performance, IR = immunological/haematological response,
PA = pathogen antagonism, SR = survival rate, STR = stress tolerance/response/biomarkers.
koi carp fed B. subtilis (He et al . 2011a); gibel carp fed a fermented yeast product (Saccharo-
culture) (He et al . 2011b); and grass carp fed B . coagulans , Rhodopseudomonas palustris and
Lb. acidophilus (Wang 2011).
The mechanisms which underpin the observed improvements in growth performance are
partly described and in many cases include modulated gut microbiota and elevated gastric
digestive enzyme activities. For example, concomitantly with improved weight gain, grass
carp fed B . coagulans displayed improved intestinal protease, amylase and cellulase activi-
ties, and grass carp fed Rhodopseudomonas palustris and Lb. acidophilus displayed improved
intestinal amylase activities (Wang 2011). The application of Bacillus sp. and photosynthetic
