Virgibacillus proomii and Bacillus mojavensis as probiotics in sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) larvae: effects on growth performance and digestive enzyme activities.

This study examined the effects of two probiotics (Virgibacillus proomii and Bacillus mojavensis) on the digestive enzyme activity, survival and growth of Dicentrarchus labrax at various ontogenetic stages in three separate experiments. These probiotics were incorporated as single or mixed into fish feed for a period of 60 days. The growth parameters, proximate composition of whole body, digestive enzymes and gut microbiology were monitored at regular.
