Abstract
Probiotics perform important functions in increasing intestinal balance and feed value, promoting enzymatic digestion, and suppressing pathogenic bacteria in aquaculture. Nevertheless, the sig-nificant expense associated with producing lactic acid continues to pose a primary limitation for its utilization. This highlights the necessity of reducing the costs of carbon sources. Furthermore, the lack of available edible crops and lignocellulosic biomass has driven researchers and the in-dustry to investigate novel microbial lactic acid fermentation sources. A number of factors influ-ence the gut microbiome, but the impact of each on fish behavior and physiology is unknown. One of the most challenging obstacles in extracting significant results is establishing a correlation between microbiome structure and function, the genetic background, age, host's health status, other individual characteristics. And geographical location. Previous research examined aqua-culture gut microbiota using culture-dependent approaches. The development of excellent plate anomaly and technical advances in culture-independent methods, such as next-generation se-quencing, have produced a perfect knowledge of microbes' interactions with their hosts. This arti-cle reviews lactic acid bacteria's utilization of raw and untreated seaweed as a probiotic source in aquaculture nutrition. It employs next-generation sequencing to explore its applications and evaluates the effects on enhancing food security in this context.
