Beyond Probiotics: Postbiotics for Healthy Aquaculture [PDF]
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This critical review assesses limitations of probiotics and proposes postbiotics, preparations of inanimate microorganisms and their metabolites, as a more stable, controlled, and biosafe formulation. Postbiotics offer significant advantages during industrial aquafeed production and storage. However, their practical implementation is currently hindered
