Comparison of Intestinal Bacteria of Procambarus clarkii Farmed in Various Rice Paddy Regions
Summary
Researchers analyzed gut microbiota in red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) farmed across different rice paddy regions of China, finding significant regional differences in intestinal bacterial communities linked to local environmental conditions.
The aim of this study was to assess the regional differences of Procambarus clarkii through analyzing gut microbiota in specimens from different areas in China. The P. clarkii were collected from ten integrated rice-crayfish farming systems locating across ten major producing areas as follows: Feixi (FX), Suqian (SQ), Yangzhou (YZ), Xuyi (XY), Qianjiang (QJ), Jianli (JL), Honghu (HH), Yueyang (YY), Changsha (CS), and Nanxian (NX). The composition of gut microbiota was assessed by analyzing 16S rRNA sequences. The PCoA results indicated significant differences in microbial community composition among the ten areas (R = 0.999, p = 0.001). The intestinal microbial diversity in P. clarkii cultured in rice fields from YY and CS exceeded that of other regions, with NX displaying the least diversity. At the phylum level, Proteobacteria were most abundant in HH, while Firmicutes showed increased relative abundances in FX and SQ, contrasted by lower relative abundances of Bacteroidetes in these areas. At the genus level, Ralstonia, Amedibacillus, Bacteroides, Anaerorhabdus, and Dysgonomonas were the dominant bacteria. The bacterial co-occurrence networks analysis revealed that the community structures in locations FX, SQ, XY, HH, and NX were comparatively simplistic, whereas those in the YZ, QJ, JL, YY, and CS regions displayed as more complex. In summary, the diversity and relative abundance of intestinal bacteria exhibits regional variability. These findings can offer theoretical data for evaluating the quality of P. clarkii aquaculture.

Microplastic pollution in water, sediment, and specific tissues of crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) within two different breeding modes in Jianli, Hubei province, China
Microplastics were found in water (1.3–2.5 particles/L), sediment, and crayfish tissues (gills, stomach, gut, flesh) in both pond and rice-crayfish co-culture systems in China, with gill tissue showing the highest per-individual accumulation and flesh contamination persisting after purification in clean water.
Insights into the Gut Microbiota of the Freshwater Crab Sinopotamon planum across Three Seasons and Its Associations with the Surrounding Aquatic Microbiota
Researchers characterized the gut microbiota of freshwater crab Sinopotamon planum across three seasons, finding seasonal shifts in microbial community composition that correlated with changes in surrounding aquatic microbiota and environmental conditions.
Microplastics in feed cause sublethal changes in the intestinal microbiota and a non-specific immune response indicator of the freshwater crayfish Procambarus clarkii (Decapoda: Cambaridae)
Researchers fed freshwater crayfish a diet containing recycled PET microplastics and examined the effects on gut bacteria and immune function. They found that microplastic exposure caused an imbalance in intestinal microbiota, increasing potentially harmful bacteria while decreasing beneficial species. The study also showed a weakened immune response, suggesting that microplastic contamination in aquatic food sources can compromise the health of the organisms that consume them.
