This research was carried out with the aim of enriching Artemia with native probiotic isolated from Behbahan local yogurt and its effect on molly fish feeding. Artemia franciscana nauplii (Artemia franciscana) were used as carriers in the enrichment process to transfer Lactobacillus probiotic isolated from Behbahan local yogurt to the digestive system of mullet fish larvae. Napulius were enriched with two concentrations of 103 and 106 probiotics per milliliter and were fed to mullet fish larvae in experimental treatments. The results indicated the positive effect of this enrichment method on growth, survival and nutritional parameters in mullet fish. The results of comparison of average survival data showed that both probiotic treatments showed significant improvement compared to the control group (P<0.05) (Table 3). Both A3 and A6 treatments were significantly different from the control group in terms of growth factors (total weight, relative weight rate, daily weight gain, specific growth rate) (P<0.05) in terms of total length and condition factor, there was no difference. No significance was observed between all treatments (P>0.05). Both A3 and A6 treatments were significantly different from the control group in terms of nutritional factors (food conversion efficiency, food conversion coefficient, protein efficiency ratio, fat efficiency ratio) (P<0.05). Therefore, in general, based on the results of this research, Artemia enriched with lactobacillus probiotic isolated from Behbahan local yogurt has a good potential to improve the growth conditions, especially the survival of ornamental fish, and can solve the problem of larval mortality in breeding centers.
