Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production sector. The rising need for fish as a protein source and the recent technological developments has resulted in immense growth of the aquaculture sector. However, occurrence of diseases is the major problem in aquaculture production system. Prophylactic disease management is the favoured method of disease management in aquaculture. Yeasts are naturally derived compounds which could serve as feed and also can improve the heath status of the aquaculture species.
