The antibacterial effect of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis against the fish pathogen Vibrio anguillarum was determined in Artemia franciscana nauplii and in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) larvae fed with ten pulses of nauplii enriched with L. lactis. The evaluation of the bactericidal activity of the extracellular products of L. lactis in vitro showed inhibition of growth of Vibrio (Listonella) anguillarum and Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida. The incorporation of L. lactis in Artemia nauplii did not affect their survival and offered protection in a challenge with V. anguillarum, significantly increasing LD50. The administration of Artemia nauplii enriched with L. lactis for 48 h to sea bass larvae for five consecutive days had no adverse effect on survival of fish. In an in vivo challenge test with V. anguillarum using sea bass larvae, fish treated with nauplii enriched with the probiotic L. lactis showed significantly (P %26lt; 0.001) increased survival rates of 81 % compared with the untreated group of challenged fish (24 %). Our results indicate that L. lactis is a probiotic suitable to be used for the prevention of vibriosis in fish larvae and can be safely administered through their live feed Artemia nauplii.
