Thriving industry and ecological impacts from exotic red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) in China

The red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), an alien species native to the southern United States and northern Mexico, was introduced into China from Japan in 1929. Its prolific reproduction, rapid...

Modeling the filter-feeding behavior of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) in response to natural variations in seston availability in Santa Catarina, Brazil

This study investigated the feeding behavior of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) in response to natural variations in seston availability in Santa Catarina, Brazil, to inform assessments of ecological...

Pond water dynamics and cultivation performance of super-intensive whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) farming in membrane-based recirculating aquaculture system

Super-intensive aquaculture offers a viable strategy to maximize shrimp production while minimizing environmental impact. This study developed and evaluated a membrane-integrated recirculating aquaculture...

Alteration characteristics of intestinal mucosal immunity and transcriptome in Songpu mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio Songpu) exposed to acute cadmium exposure

This study focused on the acute toxic effects of cadmium (Cd) on Songpu mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio Songpu) with an average body mass of (35.4 ± 0.4) g. Changes in intestinal immunity function and...

Improving the traceability of farmed and wild-caught aquatic species: A review of current applied analytical techniques with emphasis on isotopic biomarkers

Many species of aquatic organisms are currently overexploited and listed as vulnerable groups by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. Some of these aquatic...

Functional role of non-conventional ascomycetous yeasts in modulating aquaculture species

Globally, the aquaculture industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in food production. To modulate the health and growth conditions of aquaculture species, probiotic feed supplements, additives,...

Hybrid and green preservation techniques for Penaeus monodon: A review of emerging technologies, shelf life enhancement and research gaps

Penaeus monodon (giant tiger prawn), one of the most valuable aquaculture species, provides a great deal of nutrition, sensory properties, and importance as a marketable food species. Spoilage occurs...

Effects of different temperatures on ovarian development, lipid metabolism and nutritional quality of Eriocheir sinensis during fattening

Ovarian development in the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) enters a rapid development period after the reproductive molt. During this process, low-temperature stimulation seems to be a key...

Optimized oligochitosan treatment for preserving postharvest quality of Sepia pharaonis during cold storage

Sepia pharaonis is a commercially valuable cephalopod, yet highly prone to quality deterioration during refrigeration. This study optimized the use of oligochitosan (COS) for cold storage preservation...

Effects of storage temperature and duration on cell composition and growth performance of microalga Auxenochlorella pyrenoidosa

Commercial live microalgae products have gained popularity in aquaculture hatcheries and farms due to their convenience, versatility, and high nutrition. This study investigated the effects of different...

The present landscape of both traditional and innovative biotechnology driven vaccines for fish diseases in global aquaculture

The most significant limiting factors in aquaculture, which comprise the majority of the rapidly expanding seafood industry, are infectious diseases of various origins, including viral, bacterial, mycotic,...

Identification, sequence characteristics, and expression patterns of Wnt genes in Eriocheir sinensis

Wnt genes play crucial roles in various biological mechanisms, such as cell signaling, development, and tissue homeostasis. Recent studies have highlighted the critical role of Wnt genes in limb regeneration....

Biphasic effects of 17β-estradiol and xenoestrogens on dopaminergic neurons in developing zebrafish

Due to the increasing pollution of aquatic environments by estrogen-like chemicals (xenoestrogens (XEs)), it is crucial to investigate their bioaccumulation, ecological impact, and potential endocrine-disrupting...

Effects of temperature and light level on the growth and development of conchocelis in Pyropia suborbiculata (Bangiales, Rhodophyta)

Several strains with long-type blade have been isolated from Pyropia suborbiculata, showing application potential for commercial Pyropia cultivation. In this study, using strain PS-M4 of P. suborbiculata,...

Effects of extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves on pellet quality, hypoxia tolerance and infection of Jian carp (Cyprinus carpio var. Jian) with Aeromonas hydrophila

The effects of extracts of Ginkgo biloba leaves (EGb) on feed quality, hypoxia tolerance, and disease resistance were examined in this study. EGb were prepared by using four different solvents: aqueous,...

Thermal adaptation strategies in crustaceans: Potential threats to aquaculture in a warming climate

Global warming severely challenges aquatic ecosystems and aquaculture, threatening crustacean production through rising temperatures and extreme heat events. As ectotherms with limited thermoregulatory...

Epigenetic mechanisms and applications in aquaculture and fisheries, with perspectives on technology and analysis

Epigenetics has emerged as a promising field, providing the molecular framework that links an organism's genome to its environment. This review synthesizes recent advances in aquatic epigenomics, highlighting...
