Vibrio species, including Vibrio parahaemolyticus, appear to be highly sensitive to a natural feed additive composed of a synergistic blend of antimicrobial compounds. Recent research is shows that as well as direct bactericide/bacteriostatic effects, selected combinations of antimicrobial compounds are at the basis of more complex mechanisms to steer microbiota composition, i.e. Quorum Sensing (QS) disruption. QS disruptors are increasingly investigated as alternatives to antibiotics due to their efficacy at low concentrations and the low chance of bacteria developing resistance against these non-lethal molecules. Research has shown that synergistic blends of natural antimicrobial compounds can function as powerful interrupters of bacterial QS signaling in a typical aquaculture pathogen such as Vibrio harveyi at concentrations well below minimal inhibitory concentrations.

The worldwide growth in Aquaculture is prompting the industry to consider selective breeding as a potential area to increase production and efficiency
