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.

Polystyrene microplastics induce microbial dysbiosis and dysfunction in surrounding seawater

Researchers used gene sequencing to study how polystyrene microplastics disrupt the microbial community and function in surrounding aquaculture water. The study found that microplastic exposure shifted the balance of beneficial and potentially harmful bacteria, altered nitrogen cycling pathways, and enriched antibiotic resistance genes, suggesting that microplastics in aquaculture settings could compromise water quality and ecosystem health.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Synergetic Health Effects of Microplastics With Microbe on Tilapia in the Biofloc Technology System

Researchers investigated the combined effects of microplastics and environmental microbes on tilapia health in biofloc aquaculture systems. MP exposure in combination with biofloc microbiome alterations produced synergistic health effects in fish, including immune and metabolic stress, suggesting that aquaculture microbial ecology modulates MP toxicity.

Ion transport and metabolic regulation induced by nanoplastic toxicity in gill of Litopenaeus vannamei using proteomics

Researchers used proteomics to study how nanoplastics affect the gills of Pacific white shrimp, a widely farmed seafood species. They found that high concentrations of nanoplastics damaged gill tissue, disrupted ion balance, triggered oxidative stress, and altered energy metabolism. The study reveals the molecular mechanisms through which nanoplastic pollution may threaten the health of commercially important aquaculture species.

The Extent and Pattern of Mariculture Impacts on Spatial and Seasonal Variations of Sediment Bacterial Communities Among Three Coastal Waters

Researchers used high-throughput sequencing to examine spatial and seasonal variations in sediment bacterial communities across three Chinese coastal bays with large-scale suspended mariculture, finding that spatial variation was a stronger driver of community composition than seasonality, with Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Planctomycetes dominating across all sites and mariculture-associated organic loading shaping local community structure.

Impact of microplastics on microbial diversity and pathogen distribution in aquaculture ecosystems: A seasonal analysis

Researchers studied bacteria growing on microplastics in fish farming waters and found that in summer, these plastic-attached communities became more connected and harbored several disease-causing species including Vibrio. Microplastics in aquaculture act as floating habitats for harmful bacteria, and seasonal warming makes this worse, raising concerns about seafood safety and the spread of infections to humans.
