This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity in vitro of and extracts against potentially pathogenic bacteria for Pacific white shrimp. Furthermore, the extracts with higher inhibitory activity were analyzed to identify compounds responsible for bacterial inhibition and evaluate their effect on motility and biofilm formation. and extracts were prepared using methanol, acetone, and hexane by ultrasound.

Soursop leaves are a source of phytochemical compounds, such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, hydrolyzable tannins, and acetogenins. These compounds can have several types of biological activities. Lactic acid bacteria can uptake phenolic compounds present in plants or fruits.

Article Synopsis
  • The selection and quality of feed in aquaculture significantly affect the health and growth of aquatic organisms, with contamination often stemming from storage conditions and feed formulation.
  • Researchers isolated twenty-two fungi from commercial fish feeds to study their prevalence, enzyme production, carbon source assimilation, and potential for aflatoxin production.
  • Among the identified fungi, A. flavus M3-C1 was found to produce dangerously high levels of aflatoxins (295 ppb), which can negatively impact fish growth and increase the risk of liver cancer and mortality.

Two experimental feeding trials were conducted during four weeks to evaluate the use of in shrimp culture: (1) for wastewater bioremediation, and (2) using different inclusion levels of meal in shrimp feed. In feeding trial 1, shrimp reared under seaweed water exchange in a re-circulation system (SWE) resulted in similar growth and feed utilization as shrimp reared with clean water exchange (CWE). Shrimp under no water exchange (NWE) resulted in significant lower growth and higher feed conversion rate (FCR) compared to the other treatments ( < 0.
