Traditional fermented fish products are dominated by a diverse variety of lactic acid bacteria with significant probiotic characteristics. Several in vitro and in vivo studies on lactic acid bacteria from fermented fish products have confirmed LAB strains to possess characteristics to be considered as probiotics that contribute to positive health benefits to the host and are generally regarded as safe (GRAS). This paper presents a review of the characteristics of the LAB strain that is considered as a probiotic. It also presents an overview of the probiotics mechanism of action and specifically highlights the LAB species with potential probiotic characteristics isolated from traditional fermented fish products.

Restricting national and international trade and traffic was the most needed step to contain the spread of virus; meanwhile it has wreaked havoc on all import-export businesses. Seafood sector, is one of the major pillar behind agricultural export (fisheries sector contributing 1.07% to the Indian agricultural GDP) and blue revolution. But due to uncertainty of the lockdown periods, the Indian seafood sector has crashed, affecting livelihoods of all fishing and related communities, export and supply chain (both domestic and international), demand and consumption etc. The sudden crisis has exposed various shortcomings of the sector and expanded our vision to look ahead of temporary solutions and find long-term sustainability. Unavailability of real-time data from planned surveys are one of the major reasons behind this failure. This article aims to highlight the present...

To prevent and treat diseases that occur in aquaculture, antibiotics are being widely applied especially in developing countries, to forestall bacterial infections resulting from sanitary shortcomings in fish rearing. Antibiotics are mixed with feed and feed ingredients and are fed to fish to enhance their growth and ultimately boost up production. Oxytetracycline (OTC) is a tetracycline broad-spectrum antibiotic being widely used in aquaculture as a therapeutic and prophylactic agent ever since it was first approved by USFDA for use in finfish aquaculture. The indiscriminate use of oxytetracycline has led to a lot of problems such as the emergence of antibiotic‐resistant bacteria in aquaculture environments which in turn transfer these resistance factors to bacteria of terrestrial animals and human pathogens.

The increase in pollution is a threat to the marine ecosystem and it also alters the balance of both the habitat and the organisms that live there. These organisms experience altered growth and reproduction patterns, anatomical complications, and increased susceptibility to hypothermia.

This article aims to highlight the present scenario of the Indian seafood sector during the pandemic through assessing various news articles, national reports and publications. Further it suggests some recovery steps like building up alternative seafood networks, promoting domestic demand and markets, forming fishing community friendly schemes (medical and insurance), adopting new technologies to prevent and handle any future crisis.

Presently, India ranks second in aquaculture and third in fisheries production, contributing 1.07% to the national GDP and 5.30% to the agriculture GDP. Odisha, an eastern Indian state on the coast of Bay of Bengal is one of the major fish producing maritime states and currently ranks 4th in total fish production after Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal and Gujarat. Odisha has an abundance of fisheries resources, both inland and marine, and is home to the largest brackish water lagoon (Chilika lake) in Asia and the second largest coastal lagoon in the world. The state has 0.683 million ha of freshwater resources, 0.418 million ha of brackish water resources and 480 Kms. of coastline and continental shelf area of 24,000 Km2, which provides excellent scope for fisheries development. There has been a tremendous increase in fish production, from 0.386 million tonnes in 2010-11 to 0.758 million tonnes in 2018-19, with an export income generation around ` 31,000 million during 2017-18. Although the production has increased a lot in the last decade, there still seems to be an acute shortage in the supply of freshwater fish since the state continues to import freshwater fish from the neighbouring states. Understanding the various issues faced by farmers and improvising strategies to address them will contribute to augment production and productivity. This article highlights the present status of fisheries in Odisha, constraints and challenges faced by the farmers and fishers, and prospects and strategies for further improvement and development in the state.

The input of tryptophan in a fish from external sources makes it one of the fundamentally essential amino acid supplies that can be managed and controlled in aquaculture practices for desirable performance of physiological and metabolic activities. As the precursor of serotonin, their roles as stress suppressor in several fish species have been well studied. Studies have shown that the enhancement of serotonin synthesis in the brain via supplementary dietary tryptophan has been linked to various behavioral patterns like aggression, stress reaction, feeding, fish maturation, social dominance and sexual behavior. The impact of tryptophan in various physiological, behavioral and metabolic aspects of fish has been generalized in the current review in the hope of futuristic insights and scope in the role that tryptophan plays in fish and aquaculture.
