Abstract

This review examines breakthrough technological developments in shrimp aquaculture, emphasizing key advances, remaining barriers, and policy implications for sustainable sector growth. Major technological innovations include biotechnology-driven improvements such as genetic selection, MAS and emerging CRISPR applications for disease-resistant stocks. AI-based monitoring and automation systems that optimize feeding and environmental control in real time; microbial approaches including probiotics and biofloc technology that enhance water quality and pond stability. Novel feeds incorporating insect, microbial and other alternative proteins to reduce dependence on fishmeal. These advances collectively improve productivity, animal health and environmental performance. However, adoption is hindered by high capital costs, technical complexity and limited farmer training. More so, uneven access to digital and genomic tools, particularly among small-scale producers. Addressing these barriers requires supportive policies that promote inclusive technology transfer, investment incentives, capacity building and regulatory frameworks for safe use of biotechnologies and data-driven systems. Overall, the review highlights how integrated biotechnological and AI-enabled innovations can transform shrimp aquaculture, provided that enabling policies ensure equitable, responsible and sustainable implementation.

Abstract

Efficient dietary protein utilization is essential to reduce feed costs and environmental impacts in sustainable aquaculture. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cinnamaldehyde (CA) supplementation in feed with various energy-to-protein (E:P) ratios on the chemical composition of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. The five feed formulas that made up the treatment feed were as follows: 28:13-C0 (28 % Protein with an E:P ratio of 13 and CIN 0 g kg-1); 25:14-C1 (25 % protein with an E:P ratio of 14 and CIN 1.2 g kg-1); 25:14-C2 (25 % protein with an E:P ratio of 14 and CIN 1.7 g kg-1); 25:15-C1 (25 % protein with an E:P ratio of 15 and CIN 1.2 g kg-1); and 25:15-C2 (25 % Protein with an E:P ratio of 15 and CIN 1.7 g kg-1). Striped catfish weighing 28.06 ± 0.19 g were placed in a hapa (2 × 1 × 1 m3) at a density of 25 fish per cage. Fish were fed to apparent satiation three times daily for 60 d. The 25:14-C2, 25:15-C1, and 25:15-C2 diets increased albumin levels and reduced cholesterol, while 25:15-C2 also yielded the highest total protein and lowest triglyceride levels. Growth performance and feed efficiency were comparable among 28:13-C0, 25:14-C2, 25:15-C1, and 25:15-C2 (final weight: 141.62–143.75 g; FCR: 1.16–1.19). Protein efficiency ratio was highest in 25:15-C1 and 25:15-C2, whereas protein retention peaked in 25:14-C2. The hepatosomatic index was elevated in 25:14-C1, 25:14-C2, and 25:15-C1. Body lipid content was highest in 25:15-C1, while muscle lipid content was lowest in 25:14-C2 and 25:15-C1. Reducing dietary protein from 28 % to 25 % did not compromise growth performance at the E:P ratio level of 15 with a supplementation of 1.2 g kg-1 CIN.

Abstract

Intensive fish aquaculture increases the risk of diseases like Edwardsiellosis caused by Edwardsiella tarda, which can lead to 30–50% mortality rates. While antibiotics have been used for disease control, excessive use can result in antibiotic residue and bacterial resistance. Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) are a promising herbal ingredient containing active compounds like glucomoringin, moringin, flavonoids, tannins, sapponins, alkaloids, and phenols, which can be used in aquaculture. This study aims to evaluate the effect of administering different doses of moringa leaf simplicia (MOLS) through feed for the prevention of E. tarda bacterial infection in tilapia. The research was conducted in two stages, namely in vitro and in vivo testing. The first stage was an in vitro test to determine the dose of moringa leaf extract that can inhibit the growth of E. tarda. The second stage was an in vivo test to evaluate the effect of feeding MOLS on growth performance, health status and immune response, and resistance of tilapia to E. tarda infection. In vivo tests were namely MOLS 12.5 g kg-¹ (M12.5), 25 g kg-¹ (M25), 50 g kg-¹ (M50), positive control (K+) and negative control (K-). The test fish used were tilapia fish measuring 7.77 ± 0.06 g which were kept in 15 aquariums with density of 10 fish per aquarium for 30 days. Fish were challenged on the 31st day with E. tarda cell suspension 106 CFU mL-1 which corresponds of the LD50 value-the bacterial dose that cause 50% mortality in the tested fish population and then the fish were maintained for 7 days. The results showed that increasing the addition of MOLS for 30 resulted in significant improvements (P<0.05) in growth of tilapia with control. The highest abundance of lactic acid bacteria was found in the M12.5 treatment, a significant difference (P<0.05) compared to the control treatment. MOLS also significantly improved the health status and immune response of tilapia (P<0.05), and suppressed the population of E. tarda in kidney and liver organs. Kidney histopathology showed normal to lightly damage in the MOLS treatment observed significantly lower (P<0.05) than the K+ treatment with lightly damage. Liver histopathology also showed normal to lightly damage in MOLS treatment observed significantly lower (P<0.05) than K+ with medium damage. M12.5 treatment showed the highest resistance significantly different (P<0.05) compared to K+ treatment. MOLS was able to improve the health status and immune response, as well as the resistance of tilapia to E. tarda infection with the best dose in feed with the addition of 12.5 g kg-¹ MOLS.

Abstract

The research aims to determine the relationship of water quality parameters to the growth and carrageenan quality of red algae Kappaphycus alvarezii. This research was conducted in July November 2022 in the waters of Belopa sub-district, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Water quality parameters measured were temperature, pH, salinity, brightness, depth, current velocity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, and phosphate. The cultivation was conducted by longline method. There were 3 stations and each station had 3 stretched ropes with a length of 5 m as replicates. The growth was calculated by measuring the specific growth rate and the absolute weight growth. The quality of carrageenan was tested by yield, water content, and ash content. Water quality and growth data were collected every 10 days for 40 days. The effect of growth and quality of carrageenan on each location was analyzed through ANOVA and Kruskal Wallis tests. The relationship between parameters was analyzed through coefficient correlation tests (Pearson Simple Linear Correlation). The determination of characteristic parameters at each station was applied through the principal component analysis test. The results showed that the yield of carrageenan was impacted by phosphate. The water affected by nitrate and brightness. Ash content affected by temperature, pH, and current velocity. Different location  did not significantly affect the growth and quality of carrageenan.
