AI Article Synopsis

  • The study examined how bed-cleaning sludge (BCS) from shrimp ponds affects the physiology of Kandelia obovata seedlings in mangrove forests.
  • As sediment coverage thickness (SCT) increased from 0 to 8 cm, photosynthesis and related processes declined, particularly at 8 cm, while key physiological stress indicators worsened at 4 cm.
  • The findings suggest that SCT levels below 4 cm are better for seedling health, while thicker sediments (up to 8 cm) introduce stress factors affecting growth and nutrition.

Article Abstract

Cumulative effect of bed-cleaning sludge (BCS) from shrimp ponds on the physiology of Kandelia obovata seedling were investigated. Based on the accumulation rate of BCS discharged from shrimp ponds in mangrove forests, four types of sediment coverage thicknesses (SCT) of 0, 2, 4, and 8 cm were set up. With the increases in SCTs, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rates were lowest in SCT8; intercellular CO concentrations were lowest in SCT4. Leaf superoxide dismutase and peroxidase activities rose and then fell with the increases in SCTs, and Leaf malonaldehyde contents significantly increased. However, contents of leaf free proline, soluble protein and soluble sugar were lowest for SCT4. Root activity was highest for SCT4. Leaves had high N contents, while roots had high P contents. Overall, as for physiological parameters of K. obovata seedlings, SCTs <4 cm were suitable and the values up to 8 cm formed some stresses.

strains S3W10 and SS15, isolated from shrimp ponds, exhibit potential probiotic benefits for aquaculture. In this study, the genomic features of S3W10 and SS15 were thoroughly characterized to evaluate their probiotic properties and safety for aquaculture use. The genomes of S3W10 and SS15 consist of 130 and 74 contigs, with sizes of 4.

Aquaculture, particularly shrimp farming, is crucial for global food security. However, the increasing presence of microplastics (MPs) in marine environments, shrimp feeds, and atmospheric particles has made MP contamination in shrimp tissues inevitable. This study systematically investigates the abundance, characteristics, and temporal trends (from 15th to the 120th day of culture) of MPs contamination in Litopenaeus vannamei, along with associated feed, water, and sediment across 12 shrimp ponds of two major shrimp-producing regions of India.

Microcystins are generated by diverse cyanobacteria in shrimp ponds marked by high nutrient levels. The study examined microcystin-leucine arginine (MC-LR) in the pond water, gills, hepatopancreas, and muscle of shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) from shrimp ponds on the northern coast of East Java and its effects on their histological structures. In shrimp ponds dominated by cyanobacteria particularly Microcystis and Oscillatoria, MC-LR levels were high.

Intensive technology Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) culture has been applied in Bulukumba Regency, South Sulawesi Province, but information on the performance of Pacific white shrimp culture and the land characteristics or environment of the pond has not yet been obtained. The research purposes are to find out the performance and the land characteristics or environment of Pacific white shrimp culture intensive technology to serve as a basis for determining the culture development. Five transects perpendicular to the shoreline and three transects parallel to the coastline, or 15 water sample stations, were identified in the field.

Article Synopsis
  • Mangroves are vital for carbon storage but are threatened by human activities.
  • Iron oxides play a crucial role in stabilizing soil organic carbon (SOC), especially poorly crystalline forms that better protect SOC from degradation.
  • Land use changes, like converting mangroves to pastures and shrimp ponds, significantly reduce the capacity of iron to retain SOC, impacting carbon sequestration.
