According to the Web of Science using the key words <em>Spirulina</em> and aquaculture 640 studies have been published on the topic since the first study was published by Stanley and Jones in 1976. Some microalgae including <em>Spirulina</em> contain several bioactive phytochemicals that exhibit anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties. Based on this, numerous studies have revealed that the supplementation of <em>Spirulina</em> to several fish and shellfish species improve growth performance, enhance cellular and humoral immunities, modulate the gut microbiota composition and improve disease resistance towards pathogenic infection (<em>Vibrio alginolyticus</em>, <em>Vibrio harveyi</em>, <em>Aeromonas hydrophila</em> and <em>Aeromonas sobria</em>).

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains a real menace to industrial aquaculture due to the careless adoption of preventive therapies (antimicrobial therapeutic drugs) to forestall disease outbreaks in aquatic food production. Suitable strategies, or at least supplementary measures, should therefore be developed to curb the emergence and widespread transmission of AMR. Vaccination represents one of the primary options to substantially mitigate the economic damages imposed by emerging infectious diseases on global aquaculture; nevertheless, the availability of commercial aquatic vaccines is usually limited, and many vaccines only confer minimal or poor protection against infections (during the early stages of animal development). Accordingly, a large body of research has been enthusiastically exploring alternate approaches for managing animal health challenges. These efforts have led to the establishment of various biocontrol strategies, such as the versatile use of high-value functional ingredients (e.g., probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, paraprobiotics, postbiotics, and phytogenics), phage therapy, and quorum-sensing interference (QSI), to promote the health and welfare of farmed aquatic species in a responsive or preventative manner. This review article addresses the state-of-the-art pertinent to biological control as an eco-friendly green approach for aquatic disease management, paving the route to a sustainable blue revolution. The potential biological mechanisms of these strategies are also described, along with the impediments to scientific progress and topics that merit further investigation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36894,"journal":{"name":"Aquaculture and Fisheries","volume":"10 5","pages":"Pages 743-763"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144878349","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}

The investigation revealed that the digestive system of <em>P. clarkii</em> comprises the esophagus, stomach (including cardiac and pyloric regions), caeca, midgut, hindgut, and hepatopancreas. The esophageal lumen displayed an \"X\" shape, with clearly visible radial muscle bundles within the connecting tissues. The internal architecture of the stomach and intestines mirrored that of the esophagus. Notably, the pyloric region of the stomach exhibited a comb-like structure, which facilitated food selection and filtration. The caeca showcased a larger lumen within the intestines, while the hindgut displayed smaller folds. The hepatopancreas, representing the digestive glands, demonstrated predominant bilaterally symmetrical features, encompassing the midgut on both sides. It consisted of multi-stage branching hepatic ducts, crucial for digestion and absorption. Transcriptomic analysis of the digestive system revealed significant gene expression in the esophagus, stomach, caeca, midgut, hindgut, and hepatopancreas, with 23,006, 22,208, 23,485, 23,196, 22,781, and 21,375 genes expressed, respectively. Moreover, tissue-specific expression was observed in 161, 459, 374, 547, 337, and 1080 genes. Additionally, a subset of 447, 453, 553, 506, 433, and 711 genes exhibited high expression levels. Further analysis led to the identification of 36 digestive enzyme genes across six distinct digestive tissues, categorized into three groups: carbohydrate metabolism, lipid breakdown, and protein metabolism. In conclusion, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the morphological structure, gene expression characteristics, and classification of digestive enzyme genes in the digestive system of <em>P. clarkii</em>.

The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of ammonia nitrogen stress on ammonia metabolism, digestion and immune function as well as the protective effects of dietary N-carbamylglutamate (NCG) in the Chinese mitten crab (<em>Eriocheir sinensis</em>). Two feeds were used, namely a control feed (regular commercial feed) and an NCG feed (NCG (302.96 ± 4.07) mg/kg added). Subsequently, animals fed by these two feeds were exposed to 30 mg/L or 60 mg/L ammonia nitrogen stress (named A30 or A60) for 21 days, respectively. The rate of hemolymph ammonia excretion was significantly increased in NCG group compared to C (control) group (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). Hemolymph ammonia levels were significantly lower in NCG A30 (NCG feed and A30) and NCG A60 (NCG feed and A60) groups compared to A30 (control feed and A30) and A60 (control feed and A60) groups (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). Glutamate dehydrogenase and glutamine synthetase activities in the gills and hepatopancreas of NCG A60 group were significantly increased compared with the A60 group, which promoted glutamine synthesis (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). The cumulative mortality rate of <em>Eriocheir sinensis</em> in NCG A30 and NCG A60 groups were effectively reduced (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). The arginine levels of hepatopancreas were significantly increased in NCG A60 group (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). Under ammonia nitrogen stress, NCG significantly increased the activities of trypsin, pepsin, lipase and α-Amylase in NCG feed group, and promoted feeding (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). In hemolymph, hepatopancreas and intestine, NCG significantly increased nitric oxide synthase activity, lysozyme and phenol oxidase activities compared to the ammonia nitrogen stress group (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). The results indicated that, NCG added in feed could decelerate the toxic effects of ammonia on <em>Eriocheir sinensis</em> by promoting ammonia excretion and accelerating glutamine and endogenous arginine synthesis by metabolism.

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.

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}
