Summary: This study provides evidence for the first time on the toxic effects of thiamethoxam on the growth, biochemistry, intestinal flora, and transcriptome in crustaceans. Thiamethoxam induced oxidative stress and decreased growth performance in shrimp, and led to an imbalance of the intestinal micro-ecosystem.

Summary: This study investigated the optimal levels of fish meal (FML) and dietary methionine (Met) for the maximum growth of juvenile Litopenaeus vannamei. The results showed that as long as proper supplementation of Met is carried out, the use of FML can be minimized or completely eliminated without major detrimental effects on shrimp growth.

Summary: Pacific white shrimp is the most cultivated crustacean globally and plays a crucial role in the international aquatic trade, accounting for 11.96% of the total aquaculture production value in 2020. The growth of the aquafeed industry, particularly the extensive use of fish meal and fish oil, has contributed to the expansion of shrimp production. However, the supply of fish meal has been unstable due to factors like El Nino, resulting in high prices and the need for alternative protein sources.

Summary: Fishmeal is an important protein source in aquafeeds, but there is a shortage of resources. Rice protein meal has been found to be a good alternative, with the ability to replace 10% of fishmeal in shrimp feed without adverse effects on growth. In fact, it can improve the immunity and other health indicators of the shrimp. Additionally, the replacement of fishmeal with rice protein meal improves digestibility, protein synthesis, antioxidant capacity, and disease resistance in Litopenaeus vannamei.

Summary: This study found that inclusion of 0.5-4 g/kg grape seed CT in the diet can increase the growth of Litopenaeus vannamei, but does not affect nutrient digestibilities. Additionally, supplementation of CT in shrimp diets up-regulated the expression of antioxidant-related genes while inducing intestinal histomorphology lesions.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of Antarctic krill meal replacing dietary fish meal on the growth performance, immunity, and muscle quality of white shrimp. The results showed that krill meal could completely replace fish meal without negatively impacting the growth of shrimp. The appropriate replacement levels for fish meal were found to be 52.78%, 68.50%, and 47.41%.

Summary: In this study, the effects of replacing fish meal with various alternative ingredients on the amino acids, fatty acids, nucleotides, and volatile compounds of Pacific white shrimp were investigated. The results showed that partially replacing fish meal with antarctic krill meal and poultry by-product meal significantly improved the nutritional composition of shrimp, while completely replacing fish meal with a plant-based diet resulted in a decrease in essential amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids. The composite mixture of poultry by-product meal and antarctic krill meal (1:1) was found to be a suitable substitute for fish meal in shrimp diets.

Summary: NF-E2-related factor-like-2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor belonging to the Cap'n'Collar transcription factor family, plays a role in regulating inflammation, autophagy, metabolism, proteostasis, and cancer prevention. The effects of Nrf2 on the immune response in Vibrio spp infection were investigated. The results showed that Nrf2 RNAi decreased antioxidant-related genes expression and up-regulated inflammation-related genes and apoptosis gene. Histopathological analysis revealed tissue damage in Nrf2 RNAi group, while SFN group exhibited lessened tissue damage and fewer apoptosis signals.

Summary: The study showed that replacing fishmeal with Rhodobacter sphaeroides protein in shrimp feed improved survival rate, growth performance, and lipid content of Pacific white shrimp. Additionally, the substitution had no negative effects on intestinal morphology and enhanced antioxidant capability. Furthermore, the Rhodobacter sphaeroides protein increased shrimp resistance to low salt stress and improved immunity, making it a potential novel fishmeal replacement in shrimp feed formulations.

Summary: The study evaluated the use of a new dietary protein, BPM, derived from Methylococcus capsulatus, Bath bacteria on Litopenaeus vannamei. It found that BPM had no significant effect on shrimp growth performance, but reduced body lipid content and affected lipid and protein metabolism. These findings suggest that BPM could be a potential alternative protein source for shrimp feed, with notable impacts on shrimp metabolism.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary cholesterol supplementation on the growth performance, hemolymph biochemical parameters, cholesterol metabolism, intestinal health, and disease resistance of Pacific white shrimp fed a low fishmeal diet. Results showed that dietary cholesterol supplementation did not affect shrimp growth performance, but reduced crude lipid content. Cholesterol supplementation also affected hemolymph biochemical indices, hepatopancreas lipid metabolism, cellular autophagy, intestinal immunity, intestinal morphology, and intestinal microbiota. Importantly, cholesterol supplementation enhanced disease resistance in shrimp.

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.
