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.

Diversity of phytoplankton in the whiteleg (Litopenaeus vannamei) shrimp ponds in the south coastal area of Pangandaran, Indonesia

This Indonesian study assessed phytoplankton diversity and water quality in shrimp ponds using different farming intensities, finding that phytoplankton community composition serves as a useful bioindicator of pond health and productivity. Healthy aquaculture ecosystems are relevant to food safety given that farmed seafood is increasingly being found to contain microplastics from contaminated water.

Analysis of sustainability differences among various shrimp farming models: a systematic review and meta analysis

This meta-analysis of 136 studies compared the economic, ecological, and social sustainability of different shrimp aquaculture models, finding that integrated multi-trophic pond systems performed best overall and that microplastic levels were among the key factors differentiating ecological outcomes between farming approaches. The results provide a quantitative framework for selecting aquaculture systems that balance productivity with environmental sustainability.

Aquaculture Water Quality Improvement by Mixed Bacillus and Its Effects on Microbial Community Structure

This study tested two combinations of beneficial Bacillus bacteria in crucian carp aquaculture tanks, finding they improved water quality by reducing nitrogen and phosphorus compounds and shifted microbial community structure toward more beneficial species. Probiotic bacterial treatments offer a sustainable alternative to antibiotics for maintaining aquaculture water quality.

Effects of Dietary Gracilaria lichenoides and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens on Growth Performance, Antioxidant Capacity, and Intestinal Health of Penaeus monodon

Scientists tested whether adding the seaweed Gracilaria lichenoides and the beneficial bacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens to shrimp feed could improve growth and health in black tiger shrimp. Researchers found that the combination improved growth performance, boosted antioxidant defenses, and enhanced intestinal health compared to standard feed. The study suggests these natural dietary supplements could support healthier, more sustainable shrimp farming practices.

Eco-friendly and safe alternatives for the valorization of shrimp farming waste

Researchers reviewed eco-friendly bioconversion strategies for valorizing shrimp farming waste — shells, heads, and wastewater — into high-value products including chitin, carotenoids, bio-nanomaterials, and nutraceuticals, arguing that microbial fermentation and enzymatic processing offer safer, more sustainable alternatives to chemical extraction methods.

Phosphorus removal from wastewater by microalgal cultivation in photobioreactors: a systematic literature review and multivariate analysis

Researchers systematically reviewed phosphorus removal by microalgae in photobioreactors, finding that zigzag biofilm and stirred tank designs achieve the highest efficiencies (>90%) and that Chlorella vulgaris is the most reliably effective species, while noting that plastic reactor materials may themselves release micro- and nanoplastics into treated water.

The occurrence of pollutants in organisms and water of inland mariculture systems: Shrimp aquaculture is a procession of Microplastics accumulation

This study examined microplastic contamination in water and shrimp at different stages of both pond-based and industrial inland aquaculture systems, finding that shrimp accumulated microplastics throughout the production cycle. The results establish shrimp aquaculture as a notable pathway for microplastic transfer into the food supply.

A preliminary study of the association between colonization of microorganism on microplastics and intestinal microbiota in shrimp under natural conditions

Microplastics were detected in shrimp pond sediment (5,129 ± 1,176 items/kg) and in Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp tissue (14.08 ± 5.70 items/g), with MP abundance positively correlated between sediments and shrimp, and the microbiome on plastic surfaces differing from the shrimps' intestinal microbiota.

Within-species variation in the gut microbiome of medaka ( Oryzias latipes ) is driven by the interaction of light intensity and genetic background

This study found that gut microbiome composition in medaka fish is shaped by the interaction between genetic background and light intensity, with fishing-like selective pressure reducing bacterial richness under low-light conditions, though this did not affect growth rates.

Differences in Physiological Performance and Gut Microbiota between Deep-Sea and Coastal Aquaculture of Thachinotus Ovatus: A Metagenomic Approach

Researchers compared the physiological performance and gut microbiota of pompano fish raised in deep-sea versus coastal aquaculture environments in China's Beibu Gulf. They found that deep-sea farming produced better growth performance, stronger immune responses, and more diverse intestinal microbial communities. The study suggests that deep-sea aquaculture environments, with lower pollution levels including fewer microplastics, may offer significant advantages for fish health and production quality.
