Article Synopsis
  • The production of Pacific white shrimp is economically significant but challenges like disease outbreaks necessitate effective microbial profiling for disease surveillance and prevention.
  • The study examined how different sequencing techniques (short and long-read) impacted the identification of bacterial communities in shrimp intestines and pond environments, revealing that sample origin significantly influenced microbial diversity.
  • Results indicated that while short-read sequences were adequate for overall bacterial community analysis, full-length sequences offered better species-level resolution, highlighting the importance of choosing the right sequencing method for effective monitoring in aquaculture.

This study presents a novel approach to sustainable aquaculture by integrating biofloc technology (BFT) with a compact down-flow hanging sponge (DHS) reactor. The integrated BFT-DHS system effectively removed nitrogen compounds while maintaining ammonia-nitrogen (NH-N) concentrations below 1 mg-N L without water exchange. Application of this system in a tank bred with juvenile Oreochromis niloticus showed a high NH-N removal rate of up to 97 % and nitrite (NO -N) concentrations were maintained at 0.

In recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), maintaining water quality in aquaculture tanks is a paramount factor for effective fish production. A down-flow hanging sponge (DHS) reactor, a trickling filter system used for water treatment of RAS that employs sponges to retain biomass, has high nitrification activity. However, nitrification in seawater RAS requires a long start-up time owing to the high salinity stress.
