Summary: The study optimized the cultivation conditions of the diatom Conticribra weissflogii to reduce production costs while maintaining biomass quality. Through screening experiments and response surface methodology optimization, appropriate concentrations of key nutrients were determined to maximize economic benefits. In large-scale production experiments, the cost of the optimized medium was significantly lower compared to the regular medium, with similar performance in growth and cost-benefit.

Summary: Aquaculture products have become a major contributor to global food supplies in recent years. To ensure its sustainable development, effective wastewater treatment is necessary to reduce environmental impacts. This study demonstrated the potential of Chlorella sp. in reducing nutrients in shrimp aquaculture wastewater and found optimal dosages for treatment. The research also provided valuable insights into the growth kinetics of algae and the application of microalgae treatments for shrimp aquaculture wastewater.

Summary: The co-culture system of Chlorella vulgaris and Rhodosporidium sphaerocarpum showed superior nitrogen removal capabilities compared to other co-culture systems. The optimal inoculum ratio of 5:1 resulted in efficient removal of nutrients in aquaculture wastewater. The sustainable performance of this optimized co-culture system makes it a potential method for biological treatment of aquaculture wastewater.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of adding N. limnetica to the diet of laying hens on egg yolk omega-3 fatty acid content, laying hen performance, nutrient retention, intestinal morphometry, and systemic inflammatory markers. The results demonstrate that the inclusion of microalgae can increase the rate of lay and feed intake, as well as enhance the EPA and DHA content in egg yolks, while reducing the levels of inflammatory markers in the blood. Overall, adding microalgae has positive effects on laying hen performance and provides nutritional benefits. However, further research is needed to fully understand the positive effects of microalgae on the health of laying hens.

Summary: This study found that antibiotics were not completely degraded during farm-scale composting, potentially impacting nitrogen transformation in the compost. Total Kjeldahl nitrogen content increased during composting, likely due to the inhibition of N-mineralization by antibiotics.

Summary: Intestinal bacterial flora plays a crucial role in the growth and development of Cnaphalocrocis medinalis. The composition and functions of gut microbiota are influenced by food sources. Different diets cause variations in gut microbiota composition, but a core microbial community exists independently of the diets. Gut bacteria are involved in carbohydrate metabolism and amino acid synthesis, contributing to the nutrition intake and development of C. medinalis.

Summary: This study found that larval diet abundance has persistent impacts on the size and composition of microbiota in the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti. Nutrient-rich diet led to increased bacterial loads and shifts in microbiota composition, particularly in larval breeding water and larvae. The availability of diet during development can cause lasting shifts in the microbiota composition and quantity in the disease vector Aedes aegypti.

Summary: This study compared the nutrient content of commercial pooled donor human milk (DHM) with that of early and mature preterm human milk. The results showed that DHM had significantly lower protein, sodium, chloride, potassium, and zinc content compared to preterm human milk. However, there were no statistical differences in calorie, carbohydrate, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamin D content between DHM and preterm human milk. These findings have important implications for designing human milk-based feeding plans.

Summary: Shrimp aquaculture systems heavily rely on ecosystem services, making them vulnerable to climate change effects. Through experiments, Penaeus vannamei was found to have excellent adaptability to changes in salinity by regulating osmolality and ion concentrations, particularly through increased Na+-K+-ATPase enzyme activity. This strong hyper osmoregulator is considered a top contender for climate-resilient aquaculture.

Summary: Economic loss due to diseases such as EHP and WSSV in Indian shrimp farming was estimated through a questionnaire-based survey, with WSSV causing the highest production loss but EHP contributing significantly as well despite lower occurrence probability. National revenue loss was higher for EHP compared to WSSV due to higher occurrence probability in key shrimp farming states. The study highlighted the need for better management practices and biosecurity protocols in Indian shrimp farming to reduce both direct and indirect losses.

Summary: The study revealed diverse nitrifying microbial enrichments from low and high saline ecosystems, with ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria showing unique lineages in each environment. The enrichments from low saline environments were dominated by specific microbial groups such as Nitrosomonadaceae, while enrichments from high saline environments had different dominant genera like Nitrospira-like AOBs and Nitrosomonas. RecognitionException: this study found that nitrifying microbial enrichments from low and high saline ecosystems have unique and diverse microbial communities, capable of functioning in different salinity environments.

Summary: The study developed a microbial consortium containing AOB, NOB, and DNB to mitigate total ammonia nitrogen in commercial Penaeus vannamei shrimp farms. The consortium showed significant reduction in TAN levels after application in four commercial shrimp farming sites. The study suggests that the developed microbial formulation could efficiently reduce toxic ammonia species in shrimp culture farms.

Summary: The tolerance of Pacific whiteleg shrimp to oxytetracycline is closely related to the dosage. The therapeutic dose does not significantly affect the growth and survival of shrimp, but may have toxic effects on the hepatopancreas and lymphoid organ. In addition, OTC may impact gut microbial diversity, but there is recovery observed 14 days after cessation of treatment.
