Role of Azolla in sustainable agriculture and climate resilience: a comprehensive review

mycolabadmin

Azolla is a fast-growing water fern that can help farms become more sustainable by naturally fertilizing soil with nitrogen, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. It also helps control weeds, conserve water, and provides nutritious feed for livestock and fish. Beyond agriculture, Azolla can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and clean polluted water, making it valuable for both farming and environmental protection.

Health benefits of fish and fish by-products—a nutritional and functional perspective

mycolabadmin

Fish is an excellent food that provides many important nutrients like protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins that help protect our hearts, brains, and overall health. Different fish species offer various health benefits including protecting against heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and brain disorders. However, some fish can contain harmful contaminants like mercury, so choosing safer options like salmon and cod is important for children and pregnant women.

A Synergistic Role of Photosynthetic Bacteria and Fungal Community in Pollutant Removal in an Integrated Aquaculture Wastewater Bioremediation System

mycolabadmin

This research demonstrates how a combination of photosynthetic bacteria and naturally occurring fungi can work together to clean aquaculture wastewater effectively. The integrated treatment system successfully removed over 87% of harmful nitrogen and phosphorus compounds. The findings show that fungi play an important but previously overlooked role in wastewater treatment and could offer a cost-effective, sustainable solution for farms.

The Application of Fungi and Their Secondary Metabolites in Aquaculture

mycolabadmin

Fungi can help solve several problems in fish farming. They can make plant-based fish feed more nutritious and easier to digest, boost fish immune systems and disease resistance without antibiotics, help fish feed float better in water, and clean up polluted water from fish farms. This makes aquaculture more sustainable and environmentally friendly while reducing costs for farmers.

Enrichment of Artemia With Synbiotic and Its Effects on Growth Nutrient Utilization Survival and Gut Microbial Communities of Larval Hybrid Catfish (Clarias microstomus × Clarias gariepinus)

mycolabadmin

This study shows that enriching brine shrimp (Artemia) with beneficial bacteria and prebiotic fiber significantly improves growth and health in young catfish. The enriched shrimp were fed to catfish larvae for two weeks, resulting in better weight gain, faster growth rates, and more efficient feed conversion. The beneficial bacteria successfully colonized the fish’s gut and promoted a healthier microbiota, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to antibiotics in fish farming.

Impacts of dietary sodium alginate as a prebiotic on the oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense): A comprehensive analysis of growth, physiology, immunity, antioxidant, and metabolism

mycolabadmin

This study tested whether sodium alginate, a natural substance from brown seaweed, could improve the health and growth of freshwater prawns used in farming. After 60 days of feeding trials, prawns given the highest dose of sodium alginate (4.0 grams per kilogram of feed) showed significantly better growth, improved immune function, and stronger antioxidant defenses compared to control groups. The supplement also promoted beneficial bacteria in the prawns’ digestive systems and improved their overall body composition.

Effect of Dietary Insect Meal and Grape Marc Inclusion on Flavor Volatile Compounds and Shell Color of Juvenile Abalone Haliotis iris

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested whether using insect meal and grape marc as sustainable alternatives to fish meal in abalone feed would affect meat flavor and shell color. The study found that grape marc reduced unpleasant off-flavors in the meat while insect meal had minimal effect on flavor. Neither ingredient significantly changed shell color. These findings suggest these sustainable ingredients could improve both environmental impact and product quality in abalone farming.

Recent Knowledge in the Application of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Aquaculture: A Bibliometric and Narrative Review

mycolabadmin

This comprehensive review examines how baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is being used as a probiotic supplement in fish farming and aquaculture. The research shows that adding this yeast to fish feed improves growth rates, helps fish fight off diseases, and creates healthier gut bacteria in aquatic animals. Scientists worldwide are increasingly studying this natural alternative to antibiotics, with studies demonstrating benefits across various fish species including tilapia, trout, and catfish, making it an important tool for sustainable and healthier aquaculture practices.
