Shrimps are one of the fastest-growing commodities in aquaculture and have a considerable land footprint. Their production exists on a continuum from “extensive” to “intensive”. Here is an exploration of the impact of utilizing different production methods: extensive vs intensive for expanding shrimp production on the cumulative land footprint of shrimp aquaculture through a meta-analytic approach that modeled different scenarios...
In the aquaculture system, the microbial community plays a significant role in providing additional feed, enhancing nutrient utilization efficiency, reducing anoxic conditions, and minimizing environmental impacts. Several forms of Silicon (Si) are commonly presented in natural water as monosilicic acid and polysilicic acid. This research aimed to evaluate the concentrations of those acids in shrimp ponds and to determine the...
The Aquaculture sector continues growing and making important contributions to world food supplies. However, it is required to focus on the good practices related to fish-feed use, manufacturing, and quality to ensure this expansion in a socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable manner. This article guides from a holistic approach to guarantee the long term sustainable development of the aquaculture sector....
Nature-identical compounds (NICs) are new biotechnological feed additives to strengthen and stimulate the fish immune system to prevent and/or control diseases. In this review are presented the most recent studies in which NICs compounds have been used in the fish diet to establish their use and contribute to carrying out more sustainable aquaculture. Aquaculture sustainable development is necessary since it...
Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising solution opening the door to new possibilities. Besides conventional toxicological assays, scientists are also using cellular cytotoxicity, apoptosis as well as bioinformatics based interactive tools to narrate nanotoxicity and its remediation applying green nanoparticles in bacteria and fish model. Intensive aquaculture practice leads to eutrophication of pond accumulating excess nutrient load. Global climate change...
Agriculture is one of the most important industries in the world and an essential sector in economic growth, but it is being affected by factors such as climate change, more recently the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Ukraine-Russia war. This fact creates uncertainty about the future of food production. This article presents the newest data on agricultural production to shed some...
