Hany M. R. Abdel-Latif, Ebru Yilmaz, Mahmoud A. O. Dawood, Einar Ringo, Ehsan Ahmadifar, Sevdan Yilmaz

Summary: The growth of the shrimp industry in the past two decades has led to concerns about the intensification of shrimp farming, which may increase the risk of emergent pathogens. Preventive strategies, such as vaccination and water quality control, are considered crucial in combating shrimp vibriosis. Researchers have also focused on finding alternatives to antibiotics in order to minimize their negative impacts. The use of probiotics, postbiotics, parabiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics has been extensively researched and proven effective in controlling shrimp diseases and reducing the reliance on antibiotics.

Effects of replacing dietary fish meal with Clostridium autoethanogenum protein on growth and flesh quality of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)

Wenxiang Yao, Pinxian Yang, Xin Zhang, Xiaoying Xu, Chunyan Zhang, Xiaoqin Li, Xiangjun Leng

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of replacing fish meal with Clostridium autoethanogenum protein (CAP) on the growth and flesh quality of Pacific white shrimp. The results showed that high levels of fish meal replacement negatively impacted the growth and flesh quality of the shrimp. However, within a certain substitution ratio, the growth and flesh quality of the shrimp were similar to the control group.

The endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondrial crosstalk is involved in the mitigation mechanism of eucalyptol on imidacloprid toxicity in Ctenopharyngodon idellus kidney cells

Xiaojing Li, Yichen Bai, Wenjing Zhu, Xu Shi, Shiwen Xu

Summary: Imidacloprid, a widely used insecticide in agriculture, poses a threat to aquatic organisms. Eucalyptol, a compound found in plants, has a protective effect against imidacloprid-induced cell damage and dysimmunity by restoring endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial balance. These findings provide insights into the biological threat posed by imidacloprid exposure to fish and the potential application of eucalyptol in aquaculture.

The aquaponic principle-It is all about coupling

Gosta F. M. Baganz, Ranka Junge, Maria C. Portella, Simon Goddek, Karel J. Keesman, Daniela Baganz, Georg Staaks, Christopher Shaw, Frank Lohrberg, Werner Kloas

Summary: The study developed new or revised definitions for aquaponics and introduced a system analysis approach to explore different aquaponic setups. The new terms 'coupling type' and 'coupling degree' were introduced to better describe water-mediated connections of aquaponic subsystems. This new framework provides a basis for improved communication, uniform metric for comparing aquaponic facilities, and criteria for facility optimization.
