Abstract. The effect of various feeds and additives on growth, hematological parameters and immunity in fish is often studied during research of its diet. Recent research in the field of aquaculture opens up prospects for studying the microbiome as a potential biomarker of the body. Interest in studying the intestinal microbiome of fish has increased for many reasons, including the fact that bony fish represent the largest group among vertebrates. In recent years, world scientists have studied the intestinal microbiome of more than 100 species of bony fish, coming to the conclusion that the main predominant representatives of the normal microbiota are Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Cyanobacteria. The researchers also revealed the dependence of the qualitative and quantitative composition of the fish microbiome on various environmental conditions, diet, age. This knowledge can become crucial in the future when growing fish in aquaculture conditions, reducing the economic costs of maintenance of individuals and improving the quality of finished products. The review examined the main representatives of the intestinal microbiome of fish, the influence of various environmental and nutritional factors on the composition of microorganisms, research in the use of feed additives and their effect on the composition of the intestinal microflora. The role of the influence of microorganisms on the host organism is generalized.

Keywords: microbiome, aquaculture, fish, fish feeding, feed additives, intestines, immunity
