A comparative study was carried out to compare the effect of caging mullet and tilapia in a shrimp polyculture system. In six shrimp tanks (three tanks for each fish species), either mullet, Mugil cephalus (CCT-SM), or tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (CCT-ST), was stocked in cages. In three other...

The effect of biofloc size on the nutritional composition of the flocs and the nitrogen utilization by white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and mussels (Perna viridis) was investigated. Biofloc was collected from a shrimp culture unit and labeled with (¹⁵NcH₄)₂SO...

Shrimp, as a high-protein animal food commodity, are one of the fastest growing food producing sectors in the world. It has emerged as a highly traded seafood product, currently exceeding 8 MT of high value. However, disease outbreaks, which are considered as the primary cause of production loss in ...

A tri-species integration of shrimp and finfishes, using a closed integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) sequential biofloc system, aiming at optimizing the performance of intensive shrimp farming was evaluated by an indoor lab-scale experiment lasting for 50 days. The impact of this...

We pre-grew shrimp under polyculture (shrimp-tilapia 'ST' and shrimp-mullet 'SM') and monoculture (P-control) conditions until they reached the size of 10-12 g. Then, the shrimps were collected and injected with Vibrio alginolyticus (2.1 × 10⁵ CFU shrimp^-1). Some shrimp, originating from the shrimp ...

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are robustly induced by diverse stressors that denature proteins. In addition to stress resistance, Hsps are involved in the folding of nascent proteins, plant and animal development, aging, environmental adaptation and the immune response, demonstrating the fundamental...

The use of artificial substratum consisting of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB)-based biodegradable plastic for penaeid shrimp culture was investigated in the present study. The survival of postlarval tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon (30±5 mg) provided with PHB substratum made out of PHB type DP9002...

The global production of cultured crustaceans for 2018 is predicted to be ~8.63 million tonnes, and shrimp represents a significant portion of cultured crustaceans. Demands for shrimp are raising, also in developing countries as consumer preferences have evolved with rising incomes. Shrimp is...

Shrimp aquaculture is a booming agro-industry worldwide. Due to intensification of shrimp farming, pathogens emerge. Control of these pathogens especially viral pathogens is essential for a further expansion of this industry. Until now, the lack of shrimp cell lines has limited research on shrimp...
