The invention belongs to the technical field of
aquaculture science,
microbiology,
immunology and bioengineering, and particularly relates to application of endophytic monad in serving as
disease-resistant probiotics of
shellfish. The added endophytic monad has a protection effect on the
pathogen infected
shellfish, the
survival rate of the
shellfish can be remarkably increased by adopting a
seawater direct adding method of the two endophytic monad, namely a pre-adding method and a continuous adding method, and although the two tested adding methods have remarkable protection effects, the
survival rate of the shellfish can be remarkably increased. However, compared with a continuous adding method, the pre-adding method is simpler, more convenient and more labor-saving in operation, and the pre-adding method is more recommended to be adopted in practical application; the principle for realizing protection is related to the
growth inhibition of the endophytic monad on
pathogenic bacteria, the reduction of host shellfish
tissue damage and the improvement of the phagocytic activity of host shellfish blood cells. The invention provides a new strategy for improving
disease resistance of shellfish and reducing
disease loss of shellfish aiming at the current situations of difficulty in
disease prevention and control and antibiotic abuse in current
aquaculture, and can be applied to scenes such as healthy culture of shellfish and the like.
