An 8 weeks regression study was performed to test the effects of increasing light intensities from darkness to 30 W m^-2 on growth performance, molting, antioxidant capacity, and gene expression of molting and apoptosis-related genes in Scylla paramamosain. No significant differences were found in...

This research evaluated the protective effect of vitamin A (VA) on the adverse effect of fish oil (FO) substitution with palm oil (PO) in an economical crab Eriocheir sinensis. Three diets of FO, PO, and PO + 8000 IU/kg VA as the main lipid sources were fed to crabs, respectively, for 8 weeks....

A optimal prawn-fish-shellfish-algae culture system and its water quality parameters were studied. The system includes prawn, fish, shellfish and macroalgae culture areas; one probiotic and microalgae culture area; one water treatment area and one emergency water drainage canal. Biomanipulation of...

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common conditional pathogen found in natural soil water sources and vegetation and can infect invertebrates, vertebrates, and plants. In this study, we isolated K. pneumoniae from the hepatopancreas of the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) for the first time and...

Breeding programs in oriental river prawn populations would benefit from a knowledge of heritabilities for growth-related traits to assess their potential for genetic improvement. This study reports the results of heritability estimation and evaluation of epistatic interactions for growth-related...

The present study investigated the effect of vitamin A on growth performance, lipid metabolism, fatty acid composition, antioxidant ability and inflammatory response of crabs fed different vegetable oils. The dose of 6000 IU/kg of dietary vitamin A was supplemented into three basal diets with...

Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China and sustains a high level of biodiversity in the mid-reach area of the Yangtze River watershed. Poyang Lake is also one of the most important aquaculture regions in China, and a great number of non-native species have been introduced into it. We...

The Pacific white shrimp, with the largest production in shrimp industry, has suffered from multiple severe viral and bacterial diseases, which calls for a more reliable and environmentally friendly system to promote shrimp culture. The "Aquamimicry system", mimicking the nature of aquatic...

Enteritis is one of the main diseases affecting Pacific whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in recent years, and it has resulted in huge losses to the aquaculture industry. Prior to this study, the molecular mechanism underlying enteritis in L. vannamei was unclear, and comprehensive multi-omics ...

Diseases outbreaks in pond aquaculture have resulted in huge losses to the aquaculture industry. The emergence of non-antimicrobial and environment friendly agents (probiotics) is the potential consideration for the healthy shrimp aquaculture. The present study was aimed to compare the bacterial...
