Summary: Aquaculture is a successful yet criticized activity globally. To achieve sustainability, it needs continual advancements. This paper presents the significant chronological advances in aquaculture, focusing on integration of multiple species for resource optimization. The characteristics, advantages, disadvantages, and successful examples of various aquaculture systems are discussed. Compatibility between cultivated organisms remains a challenge. Evidence suggests that integrated multitrophic systems can replace polluting and inefficient monoculture systems.

Summary: Aquaculture is a rapidly growing industry that plays a vital role in providing food for the increasing global population. The integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) system is a sustainable approach that simultaneously produces multiple aquaculture species using all food levels. By selecting suitable culture species and considering their appropriate population size, IMTA can improve ecosystem health and industry sustainability.

Summary: The study shows that European eel elvers can adapt well to biofloc systems, which have lower production costs compared to conventional systems. The maintenance of biofloc in tanks and prevention of opportunistic pathogens were identified as critical issues. Further studies are needed to test the technology with older eel stages.

Summary: Biofloc technology (BFT) is a sustainable method in shrimp aquaculture that has gained attention recently. This study investigated the bacterioplankton diversity in rearing water and its changes with shrimp growth in a successful BFT system. The results showed that the BFT system favored the growth and dynamics of specific microbial communities, contributing to water quality regulation and probiotic potential.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of different conditions on shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei in integrated shrimp/seaweed culture systems. The results showed that no water exchange treatment led to negative impacts on shrimp growth and feed conversion ratio. The presence of seaweed promoted bacterial diversity in the water and reduced the relative abundance of Vibrio in shrimp gut.

Summary: This study found that integrated culture of sea lettuce with shrimp and mullet in a BFT system did not significantly affect the growth of shrimp and mullet, but it can increase the total yield and nitrogen and phosphorus recovery of the whole system. Additionally, it can also enhance the content of chlorophyll-a and carotenoids in the system without affecting the yield of ulvan extract.

Summary: Integration of tilapia in shrimp biofloc systems can reduce suspended solids and does not compromise shrimp productivity. This study evaluated the effects of different tilapia stocking densities on shrimp growth and system clarification time. The results showed that tilapia densities did not affect shrimp growth and lower tilapia density reduced clarification time.

Summary: The effects of the probiotic BioPlus (R) PS on shrimp-tilapia polyculture pond soil were evaluated using physical-chemical analysis, metagenomics, and Pfeiffer circular chromatography. The results showed a significant reduction in organic matter, oxidizable carbon, and potential acidity after applying the probiotic. Metagenomics demonstrated that the probiotic increased alpha diversity and decreased the abundance of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Pfeiffer chromatography showed characteristics associated with higher quality soils and higher enzymatic activity in samples receiving higher doses.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
