Microbial communities in the intestine of Macrobrachium rosenbergii under six cultural patterns were evaluated by high-throughput pyrosequencing technology. The interactions between microbial and water environment were also analyzed by RDA (Redundancy analysis). The cultural patterns included prawn ...

In order to investigate the prevalent rules and characteristics of Aeromonas bacteria from river crabs in Jiangsu Province, the samples of river crabs were collected from the 20 counties (cities, districts) in Jiangsu Province, such as Sihong, Wuzhong and Xiangcheng, etc., for the isolation and...

This proceedings contains 32 papers covering aquaculture, fisheries, fish diseases, effect of environmental pollution on fish, fish feeding and conservation. The first 7 papers discuss the culture, transport and feeding of Clarias gariepinus, Oreochromis niloticus, Benthosema pterotum, Penaeus...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a short-lived radical generated by nitric oxide synthases (NOS). NO is involved in a variety of functions in invertebrates, including host defense. In previous studies, we isolated and sequenced for the first time the NOS gene from hemocytes of Panulirus argus, demonstrating...

With the increasing production of farmed Litopenaeus vannamei, the discharge of culture sewage and the accumulation of deleterious substances (nitrite, ammonia, sulfide...) in ponds have been more severe, especially at the mid-late farming stage, severely inhibiting the sustainability of ...

This study was conducted to assess the compatibility of white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii in the polyculture system. Twelve 0.6 ha intertidal mudflat ponds of shrimp in the region around Hangzhou Bay, China, were divided into four culture systems ...

The antibacterial activity of phenolic extracts was assessed using the disk diffusion technique on two marine and two freshwater species of Oscillatoria. Three Gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus sp. and Streptococcus sp.) and nine Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Vibrio spp., ...

The Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis, is an economically valuable aquaculture species. Prior to sale, farmed crabs are often fattened with pellet feed or wild fish. In this study, PacBio Sequel sequencing was used to determine the bacterial flora in the intestinal tracts and gill tissues of...

In this article, the application of probiotics for the improvement of aquatic environmental quality and for disease control for fish pathogens such as Vibrio spp. and Aeromonas spp. was discussed.

CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs), the well-known vaccine adjuvant in mammals, have been proved to mount innate immune responses in crustaceans. In the present study, CpG ODNs was employed as supplements in diets to fed crab Eriocheir sinensis, and the changes of immune parameters as well as weight...
