Biotechnologically developed probiotics can also serve as eco-friendly alternatives to traditional antibiotics and chemicals. They can break down harmful substances in the water, reducing the environmental impact of aquaculture operations.   

One of the challenges in administering probiotics in aquaculture is ensuring that the beneficial bacteria reach their target without being destroyed by environmental factors. Microencapsulation technology can protect these bacteria, increasing their effectiveness and longevity.   

Advanced genetic engineering techniques are being used to create probiotics with enhanced capabilities. For example, genetically modified bacteria can be designed to produce specific enzymes or other compounds that benefit aquatic species in unique ways, such as boosting their immune systems or enhancing nutrient absorption.
