The effects of two selected probiotics (Pseudomonas synxantha and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) on the specific growth rate (SGR), survival and immune parameters of juvenile western king prawns (Penaeus latisulcatus) were examined for 84 days. Pseudomonas synxantha and P. aeruginosa were either applied into the rearing medium or supplemented in the formulated feed at a concentration of 105 colony forming unit (CFU) mL−1 for each probiotic. The results showed that applications of the probiotics resulted in no significant difference (P>0.05) in the SGR and survival of the prawns, but significantly decreased the food conversion ratios (P<0.05) compared with the control where no probiotics were applied. The supplement of the probiotics with the formulated feed enhanced the probiotic numbers in the intestines of the prawns and low bacteria numbers in the haemolymph. The prawns were significantly (P<0.05) healthier, as indicated by the immune response obtained when both probiotics were given in combination compared with when individual probiotics were used. When applied singly, P. aeruginosa resulted in a higher health status of the prawns compared with P. synxantha. Overall, equal combinations (105 CFU mL−1) and volumes of P. synxantha and P. aeruginosa used as a supplement in the formulated feed resulted in an improvement in the health of the juvenile western king prawns.

Review: Developments in the use of probiotics for disease control in aquaculture (2014, background): “, 2013), and less need for chemotherapy (Azad and Al-Mazouk, 2008; Hai et al., 2009; Irianto and Austin, 2002b).”
Postharvest biocontrol ability of Pseudomonas synxantha against Monilinia fructicola and Monilinia fructigena on stone fruit (2019, background): “…bactetirum, the available data showed that both P. synxantha and its metabolites could induce the hemolysis of human blood and no effects for growth and survival of prawns (Van Hai et al., 2009; Mukherjee et al., 2014). a Each value represents the mean of 3 replicates, each constituted by 9 fruit.”
Application of Probiotics in Shrimp Aquaculture: Importance, Mechanisms of Action, and Methods of Administration (2016, background): “Studies on probiotic to improve growth or survival in crustacean larvae are scarce and recently methods for improving water quality of hatcheries and application of probiotic has gained momentum (Guo et al., 2009; Hai et al., 2009).”
