Aquaculture is the fastest growing agricultural industry providing healthy food for mankind. However, diseases at the larval stages constitute a major bottleneck and cause economic losses to the industry. Vaccines are not effective at the larval stages and antibiotics are used for disease control, although there are serious concerns about development of bacterial antibiotic resistance and its transfer to human pathogenic bacteria. There is a strong need for development of non-antibiotic disease control strategies especially at the larval stages. Our objective was to reduce the need for antibiotics in marine larviculture by developing individually and combining two probiotic strategies (probiotic bacteria and bacteriophages)
