Co-Culturing Seaweed with Scallops Can Inhibit the Occurrence of Vibrio by Increasing Dissolved Oxygen and pH

Researchers found that co-culturing seaweed with scallops in aquaculture systems can naturally suppress harmful Vibrio bacteria by increasing dissolved oxygen and raising pH levels. Both green and red macroalgae species were effective at inhibiting bacterial growth under laboratory and field conditions. The study offers an eco-friendly strategy for reducing disease risk in shellfish farming without relying on antibiotics or chemicals.

Genetic additive components of the exoskeleton mineral profile and their genetic relationship with growth traits in Penaeus vannamei

Scientists found that shrimp can be bred to naturally have higher levels of important minerals like calcium and magnesium in their shells, which could make farmed shrimp more nutritious. This breeding approach could help the shrimp farming industry reduce its dependence on expensive fish-based feeds while still producing healthy seafood. For consumers, this could mean access to more sustainable and nutrient-rich shrimp in the future.

The effect of “Fishery-PV Integration” on Penaeus monodon culture and Micro-ecological environment

Researchers evaluated a 'Fishery-PV Integration' aquaculture model combining photovoltaic solar panels with Penaeus monodon shrimp farming over 105 days, examining shrimp growth, water quality, and the micro-ecological community via metagenomics and 16S rRNA sequencing. They found stable water quality, healthy shrimp growth to an average of 11.69 g, and a microbiome dominated by Proteobacteria with relatively low Vibrio abundance, supporting the model's aquaculture and ecological viability.
