Abstract
Apart from providing benefits to bread, Saccharomyces cerevisiae can provide benefits to fish by providing it as a probiotic, and immunostimulant can be used as a feed substitute. Saccharomyces cerevisiae can provide benefits to increase growth and disease resistance in cultivated fish, both consumption fish and ornamental fish. Therefore, this journal review will look at which treatments are suitable for utilizing baker's yeast which will later be given to fish. The materials used to review this journal are related reference sources. The method used in this journal review is a systematic, explicit and reproducible method for evaluating and identifying the results of a study that has been produced by previous researchers and then draws a conclusion from the best treatment. From the review results, the best dosage is to use 5 g/kg of baker's yeast.
