Chemical pesticides are commonly used world-wide, and they can flow into estuaries and affect non-targeted organisms. We evaluated the effects of six concentrations of the phenylpyrazole, fipronil (0.0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, and 3.0 μg/L), which are environmentally relevant, on white shrimp Litopenaeus setiferus (initially averaging 0.80 ± 0.08 g/shrimp). Compared with the control, survivorship of shrimp over 45 days declined significantly at the higher concentration treatments. Growth was affected at all concentrations, and the percent weight gain decreased significantly. Inter-molt intervals were longer in all treatments. Changes in swimming and feeding behavior of shrimp were observed under all treatments, and change in body color was observed at higher concentration treatments. Lipid content in shrimp decreased significantly while ash content increased with fipronil concentration. Fipronil adversely affected white shrimp under the concentrations observed in the environment and monitoring of fipronil use is needed in coastal areas.

Antioxidants, both glutathione (GSH) and astaxanthin (AX), possess beneficial applications in animal growth and antioxidant properties. In this study, three experimental diets with isoproteic and isolipidic were formulated, the control diet (CON), the control diet added with 0.03% Carophyll Pink (contains 10% AX), the control diet added with 0.

Fibrinogen-related domain (FReD) containing proteins are an evolutionarily conserved immune gene family characterized by the C-terminal fibrinogen (FBG) and diverse N-terminal domains. To understand the complexity of this family in crustaceans, we performed genome screening and identified 43 full-length FReDs encoding genes in Litopenaeus vannamei. Structural classification analysis revealed these putative FReDs could be divided into six types, including two reported types (LvFReDI and II) and four new types (LvFReDIII-VI).

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) poses a major risk to shrimp aquaculture, and filter-feeding bivalves on shrimp farms may contribute to its persistence and transmission. This study investigated the bioaccumulation and vector potential of WSSV in Pacific oysters (), blue mussels (), and manila clams () cohabiting with WSSV-infected shrimp. Sixty individuals of each species (average shell lengths: 11.

Pacific white shrimp shell protein hydrolysates (SSPHs) produced using alcalase (UAH) and papain (UPH), and polyphenols (PPNs) conjugates were prepared using variable concentrations (0.5-3% /) of different polyphenols (EGCG, catechin, and gallic acid). When 2% (/) of a redox pair was used for conjugation, 0.

Neuropeptides are pivotal in regulating a broad spectrum of developmental, physiological, and behavioral processes throughout the life cycle of crustaceans. In this comprehensive study, we utilized a multiomics approach to characterize neuropeptide precursors and to assess the expression profiles of neuropeptide-encoding genes across various tissues and developmental stages in the Pacific white shrimp, . Additionally, we explored the differential expression of neuropeptide genes in the eyestalk before and after the RNA interference-mediated suppression of crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) and vitellogenesis-inhibiting hormone (VIH) gene expression.
