| Abstract | In recent years the biological control of diseases by environmental friendly methods such as probiotics has become an important subject of investigation in aquaculture research. Probiotics are live microorganisms which when administrated in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host . In the last 4 years, IFREMER in collaboration with Lallemand company, have carried out researchs in New Caledonia with the aim to assess the probiotic strain P. acidilactici MA 18/5M on farmed shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris.This project started in 2005 demonstrated the beneficial effects of the probiotic Pediococcus acidilactici dietary supplementation on the nutrition and the health status of peneid shrimps and highlighted that its use as probiotic can be part of the natural solutions proposed to face the challenge of today’s shrimp farming industry. | ||||||||
