Abstract Aquaculture is crucial to global food security and economic stability, garnering substantial research investment. Shrimp farming significantly contributes to the global economy; however, persistent disease outbreaks pose a considerable threat. Probiotics emerge as a viable and promising solution for managing pathogenic diseases in shrimp, fostering a more sustainable aquaculture industry. The aim of the work was to isolate and identify the probiotic bacteria from the naturally collected wild healthy shrimp and to control the shrimp pathogens isolated from the diseased shrimp. The healthy live tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon of body weight 150.54 ± 10.60 were collected from the fisherman and brought to the laboratory. In the laboratory, the bacteria present in gut, gill and slime were isolated by serial dilution method and identified up to genus level by Bio-chemical tests. The isolated bacteria were tested against the pathogens. Eight bacterial isolates were taken from the wild healthy shrimp. They are Bacillus sp., Acetobacterium sp., Pseudomonas sp., Enterobacter sp., Alteromonas sp, Klesella sp., Proteus sp., and Halobacter sp. Among the eight isolated bacteria, the Bacilus sp, Acetobacterium sp. and Pseudomonas sp., were selected as probiotic bacteria based on their beneficial effect on shrimp and their antagonistic effect on shrimp pathogens. The probiotic bacteria isolated from the gut of shrimp controlled the colonization of pathogens on gut, gill and slime of shrimp. This study highlights potentials of shrimp gut isolated bacteria in controlling the pathogens causing disease in shrimp and providing a significant step forward in antibiotic-free disease management.
Keywords Probiotics, Shrimp, Antagonistic effect, Aquaculture, Gut Probionts and Tiger Shrimp.
