Summary: White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a prominent pathogen in shrimp farming worldwide. However, there is currently no effective treatment for this virus. In this study, the antiviral properties of bovine lactoferrin (bLF) against WSSV were investigated, and it was found that bLF treatment significantly reduced shrimp mortalities caused by WSSV infection. The ability of bLF to bind to both host cells and WSSV virions suggests its potential as an anti-WSSV agent in shrimp culture, and the identified interaction proteins may play a role in WSSV infection.

Summary: In this study, a novel TRIM37 homolog called PmTRIM37 was identified, which plays important roles in regulating innate immune processes, particularly antiviral and proinflammatory cytokine responses. PmTRIM37 is highly expressed in immune-related tissues and its expression is up-regulated after white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection. Knockdown of PmTRIM37 promotes WSSV replication and VP28 expression, suggesting its negative role in WSSV infection. Furthermore, PmTRIM37 positively regulates the NF-κB pathway and Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) expression during WSSV infection.

Summary: This study investigated the application of cuminaldehyde in the prevention and treatment of WSSV. The results showed that cuminaldehyde can effectively inhibit WSSV replication in shrimp and increase the survival rate of infected shrimp. Cuminaldehyde also enhances the shrimp's resistance to WSSV by activating the immune response. Therefore, cuminaldehyde has great potential for application in shrimp seedling culture and pond aquaculture settings against WSSV transmission.

Summary: LvMAPKKK15, a homolog of MAPKKK15 in shrimp, is abundantly expressed in early development stages and in eyestalk, nerve, and hemocytes. It responds to challenges of Poly (I: C) and WSSV, and its knockdown leads to decreased sensitivity to WSSV infection in shrimp. LvMAPKKK15 can up-regulate WSSV immediate early genes and suppress anti-viral factors LvVago1-5, indicating its role in WSSV pathogenesis.

Summary: Shrimp aquaculture is an important sector for commercial and food production due to its growing significance as a source of protein. The prevalence of disease outbreaks in shrimp farming has led to the overuse of antimicrobial drugs, causing unintended consequences. The white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a pervasive and potentially fatal disease affecting shrimp, for which there is currently no cure. Probiotics have emerged as a favored alternative to antimicrobials, with the ability to enhance shrimp's disease resilience naturally. While probiotics have been well-documented for bacterial infections, further research is needed to identify suitable strains for viral diseases. The utilization of probiotics as a therapy and preventative measure against WSSV in shrimp farming has shown promising results.

Summary: Mexico is the second largest shrimp producer in Latin America, but the shrimp production decreased by almost 50% in 2011 due to the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). A life cycle analysis (LCA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) were conducted on 76 commercial farms severely affected by WSSV in northwestern Mexico. The results showed negative effects on feed conversion ratio, seawater and energy consumption, as well as increased discharge of nitrogen, phosphorus, and CO2 emissions. Improvement scenarios were evaluated, and incorporating immunostimulants in food formulation resulted in an 82% reduction in environmental impact.

Summary: We examined the transcriptomic changes in three immune tissues (gills, hepatopancreas, and hemocytes) of Penaeus vannamei infected with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), Vibrio parahaemolyticus acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (VPAHPND), and decapod iridovirus 1 (DIV1). The results showed tissue-specific differences in the immune responses of shrimp, with differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in gills mainly related to environmental information processing and cellular processes, DEGs in hemocytes mostly involved in cellular processes, and DEGs in hepatopancreas primarily associated with metabolism. These findings provide new insights into the immune responses of Penaeus vannamei and contribute to sustainable shrimp farming.

Summary: The large-scale degradation of riparian ecotones and connectivity between rivers and floodplains in European temperate lowland rivers has led to a decline in rheophilic fish populations. Recent river restoration projects have had varying degrees of success in restoring these populations. Understanding nursery habitat requirements is crucial for effective restoration, but the role of habitat heterogeneity in young-of-the-year fish population development is still limited.

Summary: As the world's leading producer of farmed aquatic food products, China faces uncertainty in the further sustainable development of its aquaculture industry due to environmental and resource constraints. To address this, an evaluation system and a holistic approach are proposed to optimize aquaculture systems. Ten major aquaculture production systems in China were assessed using analytical hierarchy processes and expert judgment, and the ecological intensification of aquaculture systems (ELIAS) was proposed to enhance sustainability. The holistic evaluation system and ELIAS are crucial for the future development of aquaculture in China and globally.
