By juxtaposing biofloc-reared <em>Oreochromis niloticus</em> against traditionally reared fish, intricate observations of histopathological changes and clinical symptomatology were undertaken. Employing 16S RNA, the bacterial strain <em>Aeromonas hydrophila</em> (ATCC 7966) was precisely identified and banked It into gene bank and given accession number (OR452335). After a preparatory period of ten weeks in the Biofloc system, <em>O. niloticus</em> faced a challenge with <em>Aeromonas hydrophila</em>. Empirical findings revealed that fish from the Biofloc cohort displayed marked advancements across all investigational parameters, before and after infection, as opposed to the control set. In the aftermath of the <em>Aeromonas hydrophila</em> confrontation, biofloc-acclimatized fish manifested an elevated resilience against the bacterial onslaught, displaying superior metrics in growth, hematology, biochemistry, body constitution, and immunological response. Biofloc group showed a strong immune response, particularly in terms of Lysozyme and Total Antioxidant Capacity. Additionally, there was a significant impact on Immunoglobulin and Complement 3 after infection, highlighting the group's increased immune activity. Furthermore, these fish attenuated the pernicious morphological indicators and histopathological anomalies instigated by septicemic bacteria, which otherwise inflict substantial economic detriments upon the aquaculture industry. This research underscores the immense promise biofloc biosecurity holds in bolstering the overall health and performance metrics of cultured <em>O. niloticus</em>.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36894,"journal":{"name":"Aquaculture and Fisheries","volume":"10 4","pages":"Pages 608-616"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144633612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comprehensive understanding of the divergence in body shape and discrimination in population parameters related to habitats is crucial for fisheries management and conservation endeavours. To test whether significant morphological differences exist between <em>P. paradiseus</em> populations inhabiting different coastal environments, a total of 366 individuals (198 male and 168 female) were collected from five distant places over three zones- Cox's Bazar (Bakkhali River) and Chattogram (Karnaphuli River) in the southeast coastal regions, Noakhali (lower Meghna River) in the southcentral zone, and Khulna (Shibsa River) and Borguna (Bishkhali River) in the southwest zones adjacent to the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh in November 2022. The truss networking and geometric morphometric analysis (GMA) indicated variations in body shape among <em>P. paradiseus</em> individuals induced by sexual dimorphism. Wireframe graphs demonstrated that female individuals had wider dorsal-abdominal parts than males. Using the truss networking dataset for five coastal habitats, multivariate analyses revealed two overlapping clusters: southwest (Borguna and Khulna) populations in one cluster, while central (Noakhali) and southeast (Chattogram and Cox's Bazar) populations form separate clusters. The GMA also illustrated that the Khulna-Borguna population was located near the opposite end of the Chattogram-Cox's Bazar population axis, and the Noakhali populations were somewhat in the middle, with a high degree of overlap. Wireframe graphs displayed a significant body shape variations among populations, mainly in the snout shape, the width of the dorsal-abdominal part, the tail shape, and the head shape. The Discriminant Function Analysis revealed that there were pronounced variations in body shape between two populations located in distant regions, while there were minimum variations between two populations located close to each other. This study underscores the effectiveness of landmark-based truss networking and geometric morphometrics in discerning morphological variations across different habitats. These variations likely hold adaptive significance and are critical for informed population management and conservation strategies in the population structure of euryhaline <em>P. paradisus</em>.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36894,"journal":{"name":"Aquaculture and Fisheries","volume":"10 4","pages":"Pages 656-671"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141699890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To gain a comprehensive understanding of the ecological patterns, intra-interspecific variations, and potential determinants of <em>Coilia</em> from an ecological stoichiometry perspective, analyzed the concentrations of C, N, and P elements in various types of <em>Coilia</em>, including <em>C. nasus, C. mystus, C. grayii, C. brachygnathus,</em> and <em>C. nasus taihuensis</em>, across the Yangtze River basin. The result shows that: 1) A broad spectrum of eco-stoichiometric patterns within <em>Coilia</em> species, facilitating their adaptation to diverse ecosystems, including seawater and freshwater. Specifically, the C content in <em>Coilia</em> species from 40% to 70%, while N% and P% range between 4%–12% and 0.5%–3%, respectively. 2) Intriguingly, interspecific variations in eco-stoichiometric patterns are predominantly driven by anadromous populations. The anadromous <em>Coilia</em> species, including <em>C. nasus, C. mystus</em>, and <em>C. grayii</em>, exhibit significantly higher C contents and C/N, C/P, and N/P ratios compared to their landlocked and freshwater counterparts (<em>C. nasus taihuensis</em> and <em>C. brachygnathus</em>). However, the trends in N and P content are reversed. 3) Intraspecific differences vary among Coilia species, notably observed in <em>C. nasus taihuensis</em> and <em>C. brachygnathus</em>, where there's minimal correlation with body size. Conversely, <em>C. nasus</em> and <em>C. mystus</em> demonstrate a substantial influence of body size, with increasing fish size associated with higher C content, C/N, C/P, and N/P ratios, while N and P content decrease. This suggests that larger fishes store more energy (C%) in preparation for reproductive migration. In conclusion, this study provides a scientific foundation for comprehending the ecological patterns and intra-interspecific variations in <em>Coilia</em>. Furthermore, it contributes to the application of ecological chemometrics in the study of migratory fish, enriching our understanding of the intricate dynamics within this ecologically significant species.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36894,"journal":{"name":"Aquaculture and Fisheries","volume":"10 4","pages":"Pages 672-678"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141046285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clinical and epidemiological studies have highlighted the therapeutic potential of key PUFAs, such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Currently, marine fish and terrestrial plants serve as the primary commercial sources of PUFAs. However, the sustainability of marine fish supplies is challenged by overfishing and competing demands for protein, while low yields and large land requirements limit terrestrial plant-derived PUFAs. As a result, microalgae have emerged as a promising alternative source of PUFAs due to their high accumulation potential, ease of cultivation, and independence from arable land or freshwater resources. This review explores the advantages of microalgae as biofactories for PUFA production and discusses advancements in optimising culture conditions to enhance yields. Key microalgal species with high PUFA content are identified, alongside an analysis of the chemical and physical factors influencing PUFA biosynthesis. The industrial applications of microalgae-derived PUFAs in aquaculture, food, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals are reviewed, along with an evaluation of the challenges and limitations faced by commercial-scale production. Finally, the potential prospects of microalgae PUFAs are addressed, offering insights to meet growing market demands sustainably.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36894,"journal":{"name":"Aquaculture and Fisheries","volume":"10 4","pages":"Pages 545-555"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144631817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
