Abstract: This comprehensive review delves into the multifaceted applications of probiotics in aquaculture, exploring their impact on aquatic health, disease prevention, and overall sustainability. Probiotics, defined as beneficial microorganisms, have emerged as pivotal players in aquacultural ecosystems, offering promising avenues for enhanced productivity and environmental well-being. By unraveling the diverse mechanisms through which probiotics influence fish health, water quality, and disease resistance, this review provides valuable insights for researchers and practitioners. The synthesis of current knowledge aims to optimize the use of probiotics in aquaculture, fostering a deeper understanding of their role in promoting a healthier and more sustainable aquatic environment.
