Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems are a promising solution for sustainable aquaculture combining nutrient recycling with increased biomass production. An innovative land-based recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) was studied in France for a 60-day experiment. It combined a...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary methionine supplementation in cottonseed meal-based diets on the growth performance, digestibility and antioxidant ability of juvenile Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis. Five diets were formulated using a basic diet, in which...

The blood clam (Tegillarca granosa) is a mudflat shellfish with a high economic value in the aquaculture industry. The IL-17D homologous sequence (TgIL-17D) has been identified in the blood clam genome to be involved in the immune and inflammatory response to Vibrio infection. This study aimed to...

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of dietary n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA) content on growth performance and fatty acid composition of juvenile swimming crab (Portunus tribueculatus). Six isonitrogenous and isoenergetic experimental diets were formulated in which n-3...

This study was to investigate the effect of medium-chain fatty acids products Aromabiotic® Shrimp (ABS) on growth, gut and hepatopancreas health, gut microbiota and resistance to bacterial infection and adverse environment of white shrimp. Firstly, white shrimp were divided into five groups:...

Aquaculture has expanded significantly in recent years, and the effluent it produces has had a significant negative impact on the environment. The survival and growth rates of aquaculture products may impact by the eutrophication of the water body if the effluent from aquaculture is not handled. In ...

A high-fat diet (HFD) model was built to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of vitamin D on lipid metabolism in shrimp. An 8-week feeding trial was aimed to determine whether dietary vitamin D₃ would ameliorate the adverse effects of HFD feeding in Litopenaeus vannamei. A total of 360 shrimp...

Bacterial communities play an important role in diffuse sediment pollution in aquaculture farms. Previous studies have revealed the short-term influence of wastewater drainage on the bacterial communities but the seasonal response of the sediment bacterial communities to wastewater drainage from ...

Aquaculture ecosystem has become a hotspot of antibiotics resistance genes (ARGs) dissemination, owing to the abuse of prophylactic antibiotics. However, it is still unclear how and to what extent ARGs respond to the increasing antibiotic pollution, a trend as expected and as has occurred. Herein,...

A 10-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary lipid sources on the growth and immune responses of Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis. Six isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets were formulated with fish oil (FO), linseed oil (LO), soybean oil (SO), rapeseed oil (RO),...
