Aquacu lture is th e fastes t -growin g food pr odu ction area in th e worl d an d this productive acti vit y requires nutr i - ents that fi t th e need s of cu lture d species, as well as additive s or su ppl ement s that help keep orga nisms healthy. Th e us e of pr obiotics, pr ebiotics, sy nbiotic s an d parabiotic s as an alte rnative to re g ula r feed ha s been proved to stim ulate good health , safeguar d th e gu t agains t path ogeni c microo rga nisms , an d reduce inflammation . In turn , thes e co mpounds have improved th e growth , immunity , an d gu t health of cu lture d species. Yeasts ar e a nobl e produc t to us e in aquacu lture (a s a whol e or as co mponents/pieces ) as su ppl ement s in an ima l feed becaus e they ar e an emer gin g alte rnative ingr edien t becaus e of thei r nutr itional valu e an d some of th e bioa ctive co mpounds that they co ntain . Sa cch aromyce s cerevisiae ha s been th e most co mmonl y used yeas t in aquacu lture , pa rti c ularl y fo r it s health stim ula tin g effect s in va r iou s cu lture d species. Most of th e research ca rried ou t in fishes an d crus - tacean s have co nfirmed that S. cerevisiae an d it s ce llula r co mponent s ( β -glucan , ma nnaoligosacch arides, gl u - cooligosacch arides, enzymes) improv e growth , mo rpholog y an d phys iolog y of th e host dige stive sy ste m an d also immune responses. Ho wever , th e di ffe ren t work s on yeas t S. cerevisiae applie d to aquacu lture ha s no t been full y integrated . This sc ientifi c know ledge is needed to be su bsequentl y tran sferred to aquacu lture mainly to seafoo d indu stria l pr odu ction . Th e us e of S. cerevisiae allows to replac e th e us e of antibiotics, ge neratin g an ec o -friendly methodolog y to co ntrol pathogens. Ther efore , this review aims to integrat e th e effect s of S. cerevisiae as pr obiotic , pr ebiotic , sy nbiotic , an d parabiotic -postbiotic s on aquacu lture of fishes an d crustaceans, an d open a ne w insigh t to future investigations
