Description
Ludevito Batilong and co-authors test a helpful gut germ for farmed milkfish in a 2026 paper. Hatchery-raised fry grow worse and sicken more easily than wild fry. Wild fry carry more of a germ group known for probiotic effects. The team fished one strain from that group and tested it against a germ that attacks young fish.
The strain, a lactic acid bacterium, was fed to hatchery fry in nursery tanks. Fed fry grew better than unfed ones. They also resisted the attack germ more strongly when exposed on purpose. Such a feed additive could cut losses in milkfish farming without antibiotics. The work moves a hint from gene surveys into a tested farm practice.
