Portunus pelagicus larvae in hatcheries experience high mortality during the early stages of development, primarily due to bacterial infections. A study was performed to determine the effectiveness of the indigenous probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum as a water additive in P. pelagicus larviculture. Three treatments and the control were tested in triplicate. The treatments consisted of three levels of L. plantarum were added daily at designated concentrations 1.0 x 10(6) (T-1), 5.0 x 10(6) (T-2) and 1.0 x 10(7) cfu ml(-1) (T-3) and control without any probiotic. The addition of the probiotic significantly enhanced (p < 0.05) survival rate of crab larvae for all treatments over the control. L. plantarum population (cfu ml(-1)) progressively increased (p < 0.05) in treated tanks over the time. Total bacteria and Vibrio counts found significantly lower (p < 0.05) in treated tanks over the control. The addition of L. plantarum influenced the nitrogen content and pH of culture water. Supplementation of L. plantarum significantly increased (p < 0.05) the protease and amylase activities in the treated groups over the control. The significantly highest protease activity was observed in T-2; while the amylase activity was higher in T-2 and T-3. The increased concentration of probiotic level (1 x 10(7)) did not increase the enzyme activities and survival of larvae. These results signify that L. plantarum addition at 5.0 x 10(6) cfu ml(-1) can effectively enhance the larval survival rate, enzyme activity and improve the water quality of P. pelagicus larviculture.

Pandanus tectorius fruit extract promotes Hsp70 accumulation, immune-related genes expression and Vibrio parahaemolyticus tolerance in the white-leg shrimp Penaeus vannamei

Anupa Anirudhan, Victor Tosin Okomoda, Mat Taib Mimi Iryani, Yosie Andriani, Mohd Effendy Abd Wahid, Min Pau Tan, Muhd Danish-Daniel, Li Lian Wong, Tengku Sifzizul Tengku-Muhammad, Wen Jye Mok, Patrick Sorgeloos, Yeong Yik Sung

Summary: The study investigated the efficacy and safety of Pandanus tectorius fruit extract in enhancing immune peptides essential for Vibrio tolerance in white leg shrimp, Penaeus vannamei. Results showed that the fruit extract was not toxic to shrimp at certain concentrations and increased shrimp tolerance to Vibrio parahaemolyticus, with a rise in immune-related proteins such as Hsp70, ProPO, peroxinectin, penaeidin, crustin and transglutaminase.

Summary: The global high demand for Pacific white shrimp has led to intensified cultivation and various disease problems, including bacterial diseases caused by vibrios. Three presumptive luminescent Vibrio harveyi strains were isolated from diseased growout Pacific white shrimp. These strains were identified as V. harveyi and shown to be pathogenic to the shrimp, displaying resistance to certain antibiotics.

Summary: The study found that the genetic diversity of two-spined yellowtail stargazer populations in the Indo-West Pacific region was generally high, but some sampling stations showed lower levels of diversity, likely due to stochastic factors or anthropogenic stressors. Population structure analysis revealed that incomplete lineage sorting and prolonged vicariance contributed to the separation of populations into distinct stock units.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic variability, structure, and phylogenetic relationships of the brushtooth lizardfish from the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The results showed moderate haplotype diversity and low nucleotide diversity in this population, suggesting a recent population expansion. The study also found higher nucleotide polymorphism in near shore and shallower waters, indicating better habitat quality and/or less fishing pressure. Genetic homogeneity within the study area and genetic similarity to populations in the Mediterranean coast of Turkey were observed. These findings highlight the importance of protecting habitat areas and implementing a single-stock management regime for the conservation of this economically important fishery resource.

Summary: Temperature, pH, salinity, and ammonia stress have adverse effects on the performance and well-being of aquatic organisms, especially those used in aquaculture. The induction of Hsp70 in these organisms improves their tolerance to subsequent abiotic stress. This study demonstrates the functional role of Hsp70 in stress tolerance using RNAi technology.

Summary: This study explores the effects of salinity levels and pathogenic Vibrio harveyi infection on the gut microbiota of Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp. The results show that shrimp cultured at a salinity of 20 ppt exhibit higher microbiota diversity, a stable bacterial network, and the presence of beneficial bacteria that help inhibit the growth of pathogens. The study concludes that a salinity of 20 ppt is optimal for suppressing the growth of V. harveyi and potential pathogenic bacteria in the shrimp gut.

Pigmentation enhancement techniques during ornamental fish production

Cher Chien Lau, Siti Azizah Mohd Nor, Min Pau Tan, Yik Sung Yeong, Li Lian Wong, Yves Van de Peer, Patrick Sorgeloos, Muhd Danish-Daniel

Summary: The ornamental fish industry has been thriving since the eighteenth century, thanks to enthusiasts' increased fascination with the vivid body colours and patterns displayed by the fishes. This review explores the current methods for enhancing the pigmentation and patterns of ornamental fishes, with feed additives (pigments) and the rearing environment (tank colour and light) identified as the main drivers of body colour regulation. By mapping putative regulatory pathways and identifying candidate pigment genes, this review provides valuable insights for producing enhanced varieties through genetic engineering.

Summary: Marine resources, including marine invertebrates and mangrove plants, produce secondary metabolites with antifouling properties. These natural compounds are considered more environmentally friendly than synthetic compounds. This study evaluated the antifouling properties of crude extracts from Diadema setosum and Sonneratia lanceolata, as well as their incorporated paints. The results showed that both crude extracts inhibited the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and reduced the settlement of fouling organisms.
