Summary: World aquaculture has become increasingly diverse and intensive with the use of new technologies. It has grown significantly in recent decades and has contributed greatly to improving global food security and reducing poverty. Fish farming, in particular, has shown promise for producing protein with high nutritional value. This review article provides information on the global panorama of marine fish farming, focusing on the main systems and production stages of commercially important organisms. The goal is to achieve highly sustainable production with high nutritional content and benefits for human health. The article highlights the production of live feed during the larval stage for optimizing survival and weight gain. It also discusses trends in estuarine and saltwater fish cultivation, such as the use of biotechnology, technological innovations, cultivation integration, and biosecurity.

Summary: This study aims to determine the transcriptional effect of tryptophan and cortisol on primary cell cultures of salmon head and posterior kidney. Results indicate activation of the kynurenine pathway and serotonin activity when stimulated with tryptophan and cortisol. Understanding the activation pathway and its relationship with stress levels associated with fish culture is essential for reducing economic losses.

Summary: This study compared the effects of coupled, decoupled, and hydroponic systems on the growth and functional parameters of basil. The results showed that coupled systems led to reduced growth, while decoupled systems promoted growth and photosynthetic efficiency. The study suggests that decoupled aquaponics is an effective alternative to hydroponics.

Summary: Aquaponics is an innovative method that combines fish farming and plant cultivation to reduce water consumption and reliance on chemical fertilizers. This study found that adding nutrients in a decoupled aquaponic system enhanced plant performance, making it comparable to a conventional hydroponic system that uses chemical-based nutrients.

Summary: Disinfection is crucial in aquaculture, but there is a lack of documentation on practices. Survey of Atlantic salmon recirculation aquaculture facilities in Norway and North America revealed differences in disinfectant selection and standards. Information will be valuable for developing robust and comprehensive disinfection strategies in the future.

Summary: The study found that increasing sodium bicarbonate concentration negatively affected strawberry growth and leaf conditions, with certain cultivars showing higher sensitivity to alkalinity stress, particularly Camarosa. Additionally, fruit properties of strawberry were influenced by bicarbonate, with Paros and Camarosa cultivars exhibiting the highest tolerance and sensitivity to alkalinity stress respectively. Furthermore, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, especially PI and F-o, were identified as suitable indicators for evaluating bicarbonate stress in strawberry cultivars, and secondary alkalinity induced stress like salinity and drought may affect these parameters.

Summary: This study found that selenium and silicon application can improve the physiological characteristics of cucumber under salinity and alkalinity stress conditions. They can increase leaf relative water content and total chlorophyll concentration in alkaline stress conditions, while decrease them in saline stress conditions. Selenium and silicon can also increase carotenoids, proline, total soluble sugars, malondialdehyde, protein concentrations, as well as the activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and catalase enzymes.

Summary: This experiment investigated the effects of different spectra of complementary light on the growth and development of strawberry plants under salt and alkaline stress conditions. Blue and red light had the greatest effect in reducing stress, and blue/red and white/yellow light had the greatest effect on reproductive traits. Stress conditions increased sodium uptake and decreased potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron uptake.

Summary: Vertical farming, utilizing engineered growth environments and hydroponic techniques, has become a popular alternative food production method. This study investigated the impact of different levels of electrical conductivity (EC) in Hoagland nutrient solution on the growth of basil and lettuce cultivars. Results showed that the growth parameters of basil and lettuce were significantly higher with EC levels of 1.2 and 0.9 dS m(-1), despite previous studies recommending higher EC values for optimal growth. However, the concentration of chlorophyll and nitrogen was higher in the full strength nutrient solution with an EC of 2 dS m(-1).

Summary: The study examined the effects of growth media made of peat and different domestic materials on tomato nutrition, growth, and yield as an alternative to cocopeat in Turkiye. It was found that using vermicompost and its mixtures with peat as growth media resulted in the highest leaf and fruit nutrient concentrations. The highest fruit yields and biomass weights were obtained with solely peat and 1:1 peat + vermicompost medium. Peat-containing growth media, especially peat + vermicompost mixtures, can be used as alternatives to cocopeat in soilless tomato cultivation.
