Currently in Brazil with the expansion and intensification of aquatic organisms, mainly fish and crustaceans, it is indispensable to look for economic and sustainable measures to improve production. In order to be successful in the cultivation, we know that monitoring the water quality, the quality of the food provided and the biological conditions of the system is of the utmost importance.

One of the bottlenecks present in aquaculture production are diseases caused by bacteria, often the accumulation of organic matter from the feces or leftover unconsumed feed can generate a stressful environment for the target species, triggering a trigger for the proliferation of pathogens . In view of the need for competition of pathogenic bacteria naturally present in culture systems, probiotic bacteria may also be present or added through the application of commercial probiotics, thus, the change in the microbiota present in the water and consequently in the intestinal tract of cultured animals aims to generate equilibrium conditions and also the prevention of diseases.

The use of probiotics is an indispensable technological tool in aquaculture, basically they are applied via feed or directly into the water, beneficial bacteria such as Bacillus sp., Lactobacillus sp. and Pediococcus sp., as we can find in the probiotic Keraacqua, Brazilian product, certified and with which satisfactory results have been found and proven by different studies. Water quality data were observed within the recommended for the cultivated species, significantly better zootechnical performance data for weight gain, feed conversion, survival, productivity and reduction in the counts of Vibrio sp. Therefore, Keraacqua is a highly viable product for use in Brazilian aquaculture crops!
