In relation to this serious problem, producers are forced to fight this difficulty with the use of beneficial microorganisms, mainly considering the future yields associated to the animal itself, the environment and the human being, and looking for the substitution of the use of chemical drugs that in many occasions are used in an inappropriate way and that cause negative effects on the environment, and can even affect consumers. In the current work, information will be provided from bibliographic sources about the use of beneficial microorganisms to improve the immune system and thus prevent diseases in white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei cultivation. These can be applied in food or directly to water and soil, in order to increase productions and guarantee economic profits for the shrimp sector, which is currently so affected.
