Aquaculture Advancements Through Bioactive Molecules
Abstract: A wide range of seafood species – including fish, shellfish, squid, and bivalves – generate by-products that are often discarded as waste. However, these by-products hold great potential for developing innovative functional food products. Because there is limited opportunity to recycle natural resources, the loss of profit may be accompanied by the loss of ecological sustainability, given that the “wastes” of industrial processing can account for up to 75% of …

Microorganisms used in aquaculture
Abstract: Microorganisms play a vital role in the health and sustainability of aquaculture systems, contributing to water quality management, disease control, and the overall productivity of aquatic farms. Beneficial microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, algae, and probiotics, are increasingly recognized for their positive impact on aquaculture operations. These microorganisms can enhance nutrient cycling, promote the breakdown of organic waste, and reduce the need for harmful chemicals, thus improving the environmental footprint of …

Phytoremediation of Aquaculture Wastewater: Duckweed (Lemna minor L.) as a Phytoremediator
Abstract: Aquaculture systems discharge huge quantities of waste into the aquatic ecosystem, in the form of excretory products and excess feed. These have grave implications on physicochemical and biological quality of the receiving environment. The study aimed to determine potential of duckweed (Lemna minor L.) for phytoremediation of aquaculture effluent. Hundred grams (100 g) of duckweed was grown in 10 L aquaculture effluent for 7-, 14-, 21-, and 28-day retention period …

Phyto Biotics in Aquaculture
Abstract: This paper aims to assess the existing knowledge on the use and effects of phytobiotics in fish farming, as well as their potential for broader application in aquaculture. With the rising demand for fish, there has been a noticeable decline in fish production in recent years, which could be a driving factor behind the increasing interest in using phytobiotics in this field. The main factor contributing to the decrease in …

Adaptation Strategies for Climate- Resistance Aquaculture: Insight from farmed fish
Abstract: As global climate change threatens food security, particularly regarding the vital protein source of fish, innovative strategies such as climate smart aquaculture emerge as critical solutions. This approach emphasizes the cultivation of climate-resilient fish species capable of thriving in changing environmental conditions. By integrating air-breathing species like the Pangasius catfish and the Giant Snakehead, aquaculture industries can bolster local economies while mitigating environmental risks. However, successful implementation requires careful consideration …

Disease: A Major Stumbling Block in the Growth of Aquaculture
Abstract: Aquaculture plays a crucial role in ensuring food security, fostering economic development, and providing recreational opportunities worldwide. However, the intensification of aquaculture practices has led to a surge in environmental challenges, including water pollution, soil acidification, eutrophication, chemical contamination, and the spread of diseases. Among these, diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites pose significant threats to the sustainability of global aquaculture. Despite the implementation of various diagnostic methods …

Application of Some Essential Bacterial Probiotics in Aquaculture: A Review
Abstract: Aquaculture plays an essential role in maintaining food security and sustainable lives for the world’s ever-growing population. Due to the expansion, intensification, and variety of aquaculture methods, aquatic animals confront significant challenges, including disease outbreaks, decreasing output, and risks to the sustainability of the sector. Poor soil conditions in aquaculture cause higher mortality, a higher prevalence of diseases, and lower yields of aquatic organisms. Overfeeding, dead animals, and feces from …

Aquaculture and Probiotics: An Emerging Opportunity Integrating Conventional Farming to Biotechnology
Abstract: The probiotics are generally defined as beneficial organisms showing beneficial effects under certain amount. Vigorous research has demonstrated the potential of probiotics in a number of conditions, including prevention of diseases, management of proper health status among humans. In contrast, the role of probiotics in animal is not much studied in comparison to human probiotics despite their great potential of improvement of several biotechnological industries. The role of probiotics in …
