The development of effective management strategies to reduce the occurrence of diseases in aquaculture is hampered by the limited knowledge on the microbial ecology of these systems. In this study, the dynamics and dominant community assembly processes in the rearing water of Litopenaeus vannamei larviculture tanks were determined. Additionally, th...

Carbon Balance and Management
BackgroundMangrove forests have gained recognition for their potential role in climate change mitigation due to carbon sequestration in live trees, and carbon storage in the sediments trapped by mangrove tree roots and pneumatophores. Africa hosts about 19% of the world’s mangroves, yet relatively few studies have examined the carbon stocks of Afri...

The biofloc system is a relatively new aquaculture technology that offers practical solution to maintain culture water quality by recycling nutrients and improves the health status and resistance of shrimps against microbial infection, yet the mode of action involved remains unclear. This study aimed to unravel the underlying mechanism behind the p...

The fisheries sector significantly contributes to global food security, nutrition, and livelihood of people. Its importance for economic benefits, healthy diets, and nutrition, and achieving sustainable food systems is highlighted by several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), i.e., SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), and SDG 14 (Life Below ...

Shrimp polyculture has not been common practice because it is mostly limited to extensive aquaculture systems. A combination of shrimp-fish polyculture and biofloc technology may have the potential to substitute low intensive shrimp polyculture systems. An indoor trial was conducted to investigate whether a biofloc-based co-culture of Litopenaeus v...

The link between quorum sensing in Vibrio campbellii and its virulence towards tiger grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus) was investigated using V. campbellii wild type and quorum-sensing mutants with inactive quorum sensing or constitutively maximal quorum-sensing activity, and signal molecule synthase mutants. The results showed that wild-type V. ...

Pseudoplatystoma punctifer posee un gran potencial para la acuicultura, pero la alta tasa de canibalismo existente durante su etapa temprana de vida dificulta por ahora su cultivo a gran escala. Una nutrición adecuada reduce significativamente la incidencia de canibalismo y el conocimiento de la ontogenia funcional del sistema digestivo es esencial...
