The study by Iheanacho et al. [<span>1</span>], featured in this issue of <i>Reviews in Aquaculture</i>, highlights the critical role of innovative and sustainable aquafeeds in advancing the sector. While significant strides have been made in countries like Egypt, Nigeria, and Uganda, many African nations continue to struggle with challenges such as feed availability, disease management, market access, and investment. Addressing these barriers requires a research-driven approach that fosters innovation, supports sustainable practices, and integrates aquaculture into national development strategies.</p><p>Despite its relatively small global share, African aquaculture has grown nearly 20-fold since the 1990s [<span>2</span>]. However, growth remains uneven, with Egypt alone accounting for over 70% of the continent's production. Other nations face constraints related to feed quality, seed availability, and poor market linkages [<span>3</span>]. Sustainable feed development, as discussed by Iheanacho et al. [<span>1</span>], is particularly crucial, as current reliance on fishmeal exerts pressure on wild stocks, as well as negatively impacting formulation costs. Economic and environmental considerations must also be balanced. Aquaculture positively impacts GDP growth in many African nations [<span>4</span>], but it also has environmental trade-offs. While aquaculture can initially help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by offsetting pressure on wild fish stocks, its long-term expansion may increase its carbon footprint or introduce other environmental risks if not managed properly. This underscores the need for policies that support low-impact farming methods, optimize resource use, and enhance waste management strategies to ensure sustainable growth [<span>5</span>]. Research and technological innovation are central to overcoming the sector's challenges. Countries that have invested in aquaculture research—such as Egypt and Nigeria—have seen the most significant gains [<span>3</span>].</p><p>Advancing African Aquaculture Requires a Strong Focus on Key Research Priorities. Genetic improvements, particularly through selective breeding, can enhance growth rates, disease resistance, and feed efficiency in widely farmed species like tilapia and African catfish. Equally important is the development of disease management strategies that minimize reliance on antibiotics, ensuring healthier fish stocks and reducing production losses. While climate change poses a significant long-term challenge by altering water temperature, oxygen levels, and overall fish health, research into climate resilience is essential for developing adaptive farming techniques that ensure sustainable production. However, in the immediate term, the growth of aquaculture in Africa depends more directly on access to natural resources, investment, and a skilled workforce.

Yellow and red coloration, an important economic trait of aquatic animals, plays pivotal roles in ornamental value and consumption. Fish possess the most chromatophore types in vertebrates, and carotenoids primarily contribute to erythrophore and xanthophore pigmentation. Carotenoid metabolism and regulation of chromatophore development have long been a focus of selective breeding programs in fish. In crustaceans, carotenoids have been proven to be involved in enhancing coloration. However, the carotenoid requirements vary among different aquatic animals. The metabolic pathways in vivo and biochemical processes have not been well summarized. Thus, in this review, we introduced various types of carotenoids and their metabolic pathways in different aquatic species and described a similar mechanism of ketocarotenoid biosynthesis in fish and birds. We have focused on carotenoid metabolism processes and several significant genes involved in the coloration of vertebrates, such as scavenger receptors, apolipoproteins, ketolases, and β-carotene oxygenase, and their applications in aquaculture. In addition, we also summarized the current problems of carotenoid addition in diets and emphasized the importance of aquatic breeding and molecular biotechnology in carotenoid coloration and ornamental fish breeding. Finally, we provided our perspectives on fish carotenoid pigmentation research and the aquatic industry. This review will enhance our understanding of fish carotenoid metabolism as well as provide deeper insights into the molecular mechanism of fish muscle and skin pigmentation.

When not held captive in farms, they can be classified as free-living salmonids, a group that includes native, feral, and naturalized populations, as well as fish that have escaped from aquaculture facilities. Compared to farmed salmonids, knowledge of viral infections affecting free-living populations remains limited, creating a significant gap in understanding the ecological impacts of interactions between aquaculture and natural ecosystems. To address this knowledge gap, we reviewed global reports and summarized the information on viruses infecting free-living salmonids. Most viral detections reported in the reviewed studies were found in native wild salmonids, with escaped salmon ranking second in detection frequency. Atlantic salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i>), sockeye salmon (<i>Oncorhynchus nerka</i>), and brown trout (<i>Salmo trutta</i>) were the most commonly reported host species. The most frequently reported viruses included infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), piscine orthoreovirus (PRV), infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), and infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV). Evidence from some studies suggests a bidirectional transmission of viruses between farmed and free-living salmonids, highlighting the complex interplay between these groups. Beyond their potential role as reservoirs for aquaculture pathogens, free-living salmonids may also be negatively impacted by viruses from farmed fish, contributing to the decline of native populations. By enhancing our understanding of the prevalence and impacts of viral infections in free-living salmonids, we can inform future research and management strategies to protect the health of both farmed and wild fish populations.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":227,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Aquaculture","volume":"17 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143602667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent studies, however, have argued for the inclusion of seaweed-dominated habitats, like kelp forests, into blue carbon frameworks. Farmed seaweed may also function as a blue carbon habitat, with large-scale seaweed aquaculture suggested as a climate change mitigation strategy, but the evidence base remains limited. Here, existing knowledge on the mechanisms influencing carbon uptake, release, transport, and storage from kelp farms was synthesised, and a literature review was conducted to quantify associated rates of carbon sequestration. We identified strong geographical and methodological biases in the literature, with the majority of studies conducted in Asia and focusing on primary production rates as a proxy for carbon sequestration potential. Estimates of carbon release and storage rates were highly variable across locations, species, and approaches, and a scarcity of research on dissolved organic carbon, sedimentary carbon, and net ecosystem productivity was identified. Although the European kelp farming industry is in its infancy, it is predicted to expand to meet increasing demand for seaweed biomass. This is incentivised by perceived associated ecosystem service benefits such as enhanced carbon sequestration. However, multiple factors including environmental concerns, a lack of quantitative evidence, operational challenges, and regulatory complexities hinder industry expansion.

However, intensified farming practices often lead to significant economic losses due to fish mortality from infectious diseases and stress-related conditions. Consequently, enhancing the immune responses of farmed species has become vital for sustainable management. This has encouraged a growing interest in natural and eco-friendly bioactive compounds as alternatives to synthetic chemicals for disease prevention. Among these, polysaccharides from various natural sources have emerged as promising candidates, administered through dietary inclusion, intraperitoneal injection, or immersion. As prebiotics, these polysaccharides enhance the immunity and overall health of aquaculture species by modulating both innate and adaptive immune responses, including lysozyme activity, phagocytosis, and cytokine production. This review critically examines the latest advances in polysaccharide-induced immunoregulation, highlighting their influence on key signaling pathways, which play pivotal roles in immune modulation. Additionally, the potential of polysaccharides to mitigate stress caused by environmental factors is discussed, demonstrating their ability to enhance growth performance and disease resistance. The collective findings underscore the value of polysaccharides as sustainable alternatives to antibiotics, aligning with the increasing consumer demand for antibiotic-free aquaculture products and supporting the advancement of global aquaculture sustainability.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":227,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Aquaculture","volume":"17 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143565328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The triploid state, normally established through a doubling of the maternal genome, consists of two chromosome sets from the mother and one from the father. The increase in genome size is accompanied by an increase in cell volume and reduction in cell number that are associated with physiological effects which have been described in several studies. The doubled maternal genome is also mirrored in the triploid phenotype whereby meristic characters, growth, and physiology, are commonly biased towards that of the dam. However, chromosome doubling techniques are also known to give strong inbreeding effects. In meiotic gynogenes, this is seen in fitness-related traits such as reduced survival, especially during early life, an increase in deformities, and lower growth. The same effects on fitness, although to a milder degree, are seen in triploids, which supports the hypothesis that they are also affected by inbreeding. Producing triploids by interploidy alleviate the inbreeding problem as the tetraploids can be crossbred to increase their heterozygosity. However, producing tetraploid broodstocks is both challenging and time and resource demanding. An alternative approach is to establish a triploid founder broodstock through one generation of gynogenesis. The gynogenesis will eliminate the lethal alleles, and by selecting the best performing individuals from the best performing families, one will also partially eliminate recessive deleterious alleles, increasing the fitness of the resulting triploid population.</p>","PeriodicalId":227,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Aquaculture","volume":"17 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/raq.70006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143554457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Knowledge of the nutrition acquired from consuming conspecifics may inform whether nutrient limitation is a primary reason for cannibalism, and if so, assist with feed formulation to prevent cannibalism. While feed shortages are usually not a limitation in aquaculture, nutrient limitation due to inefficient feed intake should not be disregarded, especially with formulated feeds. Additionally, unique nutrients may be absent from formulated feeds, the deficit of which may play a role in triggering cannibalism. The reasons for cannibalism in crustacean aquaculture are still unclear and possibly involve several factors, including feed availability, population density, life stages, resource competition, and prey vulnerability. In general, various forms of cannibalism exist that may have multiple drivers, including nutritional (e.g., state of hunger and lack of specific nutrient), behavioral (e.g., mating and aggression), ecological (e.g., population structure) and environmental (e.g., space limitation). In crustaceans, cannibalism occurs generally when animals are vulnerable; this may coincide with moulting events or through the lack of habitat complexity or density restrictions. The simultaneous occurrence of multiple factors influencing cannibalism in crustacean culture constitutes a major challenge for evaluating the relative significance of nutrition to cannibalism.

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in aquafeed extrusion, highlighting the mechanisms underpinning extrusion technology, challenges for industrial production and future opportunities in this field. Through bibliometric analysis, we examine the evolution of aquaculture feeding techniques and their impact on feed quality and fish growth performance. Comparisons between pelletised and extruded feeds highlight advancements in extrusion methods, which offer superior nutrient retention and feed conversion efficiency. We elucidate the scientific principles of feed extrusion, including the effects of temperature, moisture and mechanical energy on feed properties. Despite significant progress, key challenges remain for the production of extruded feed, such as ingredient variability, operational complexity, diverse product requirements and waste management. Conversely, we explore opportunities for extrusion technology, emphasising predictive characterisation, extrusion modelling, and AI-driven quality control.

However, research activities have mainly focused on aligning and optimizing the nutrient composition of fish feeds when integrating fishmeal alternatives, and thus, for instance, recommendations of dietary inclusion rates of bioactive feed compounds still vary dramatically in the literature (Table 2).
