The experiment was in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments including control; B. subtilis (107 CFU/g); B. subtilis (107 CFU/g) and 0.2% FOS; B. subtilis (107 CFU/g) and 0.5% FOS. Sampling was conducted after the fish fed diets containing B. subtilis and FOS for 2 weeks, 4 weeks and after 3 days of infection with Streptococcus agalactiae.
