  The use of probiotic for disease prevention and improved nutrition in aquaculture is becoming popular due to an increasing demand for environment friendly aquaculture. Here we used Bacillus subtilis as a probiotic to fish to evaluate the effect of probiotic on microbiological and haematological responsiveness of cat fish (Heteropnuestes fossilis) challenged with bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila and fungi Aphanomyces invadans. Heteropneustes fossilis were collected from local market at Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India. Fish were subjected into microbiological, haematological, physiological observation. In H. fosilis, probiotic accepted fishes gained more weight than that of the control fishes fed with control diet. The gut micro flora of H. fossilis was found to be 6.3×106, 5.7×107, 5.4×105 and 5.1×105 cells in D1 treatment fishes on 104,105,106 and 107 dilutions res.. View More»
