In-Depth Information
the principles governing microbial community assembly and maintenance within the intestine
of crustaceans is required in order to design the best strategy to manipulate these communi-
ties. The development of modern model systems and molecular techniques for the study of
host-microbiota interactions will be highly informative in this regard. Such information will
be useful in order to optimize practices to manage diseases, but may also reveal new knowl-
edge that could help to address the current challenges in feed formulation with the scarcity
of certain raw materials. In addition, even if it is at a very early developmental stage, the use
of recombinant probiotics as vehicles for new 'vaccination' strategies in crustaceans is also a
very interesting approach that will merit further attention.
Probiotics are no longer a 'concept' for crustacean aquaculture; the use of probiotics in
crustacean farming is in fact becoming an important component of BMPs. Therefore policies
and regulations must designed, and enacted, to regulate these practices and to address safety
concerns linked to the use of undocumented autochthonous microorganism strains or artisanal
probiotic production.
