“…Following the method of Sun and coworkers 30 , hemolymph (100 mL) was withdrawn from the ventral sinus of each mud shrimp into a 1 mL sterile syringe (25 gauge) containing 0.9 mL anticoagulant solution (Trisodium citrate 30 mM, sodium chloride 0.34 M, EDTA 10 mM, pH 7.55). A drop of the anticoagulant-hemolymph mixture (100 mL) was placed on a hemocytometer, and a THC was made under an inverted phase-contrast microscope (Leica DMIL, Leipzig, Germany) 31 .…”

The white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) causes mass mortalities in the aquaculture of shrimps worldwide. The mud shrimp Austinogebia edulis (Ngoc-Ho & Chan, 1992) is an economically important sea food item occurring along the west coast of Taiwan. While the population of A. edulis began to decrease with some fluctuations in the last decade, the current study aims to discover the causes for such sporadic population decline. This study explores the effects of microbial pathogens and innate immunity on the populations of A. edulis. Here, we report firstly about WSSV infection of A. edulis from the coastal zone of western Taiwan which is one of the possible causes of population decrease of A. edulis in Shengang. However, WSSV infection is not the only reason for its population decrease because a similar infection rate of WSSV was found in Wangong. Population changes may be related to both environmental pollution stress and WSSV. Both factors likely caused a massive reduction of hemocytes and an abnormal increase of phenoloxidase and superoxide dismutase activity, which were spectrophotometrically measured. Since there is no effective way to treat WSSV infection, improving the coastal environment appears the most effective way to increase the population size of feral shrimps.

“…Crayfish immune response is a result of complex interactions of multiple intrinsic (e.g., body condition, parasite load, diseases) and extrinsic (e.g., environmental conditions, population density, predation risk) factors [ 93 , 94 , 95 ]. In addition to these factors, the invasion process may also affect the immune response of both the crayfish invader and the native crayfish species due to potential trade-offs between immunity and the host’s reproductive fitness [ 7 , 96 , 97 ] and potential spatial sorting of individuals with certain life-history traits during non-random dispersal (i.e., [ 98 ]).…”

Immunity is an important component of invasion success since it enables invaders’ adaptation to conditions of the novel environment as they expand their range. Immune response of invaders may vary along the invasion range due to encountered parasites/microbial communities, conditions of the local environment, and ecological processes that arise during the range expansion. Here, we analyzed changes in the immune response along the invasion range of one of the most successful aquatic invaders, the signal crayfish, in the recently invaded Korana River, Croatia. We used several standard immune parameters (encapsulation response, hemocyte count, phenoloxidaze activity, and total prophenoloxidaze) to: i) compare immune response of the signal crayfish along its invasion range, and between species (comparison with co-occurring native narrow-clawed crayfish), and ii) analyze effects of specific predictors (water temperature, crayfish abundance, and body condition) on crayfish immune response changes. Immune response displayed species-specificity, differed significantly along the signal crayfish invasion range, and was mostly affected by water temperature and population abundance. Specific immune parameters showed density-dependent variation corresponding to increased investment in them during range expansion. Obtained results offer baseline insights for elucidating the role of immunocompetence in the invasion success of an invertebrate freshwater invader.

“…Aquaculture farming environmental degradation often leads to the accumulation of toxic substances or the dominance of pathogenic microorganisms. Since the industrial operator has only paid attention to the improvement of technology and production yield for a long time, and neglected how to maintain the ecological balance of the culture pond and the surrounding environment, when a disease breaks out, the first strategy is to apply animal drugs, especially antibiotics; undeniably, drug treatment for a disease is the most direct and immediate practice [5], but its damage to the environment is difficult to estimate. In the aquaculture industry, the negative impact of the application of drugs on the environment has received attention increasingly.…”

Aquaculture continues to be the fastest-growing food production field that has a lot of potential to meet the aqua-protein needs. The scientific and business communities are responding to the many challenges and opportunities inherent in the growing aquaculture field. Advancements in production and detection of harmful material systems and technologies are contributing to aquaculture industry's expansion and sustainability. All of these production system technologies are benefitting from expanding information and communication systems, which are enabling advances in every stage of production. In the future, the new farming operation of friendly environment will focus on the use of nonecology destructive substances, no antibiotics, and the natural probiotics or novel immunomodulatory substances to match the physiological regulation of cultured organisms and the management of aquaculture. The future scientific-based innovation will contribute toward meeting increasing food demands, while improving social, environmental, and financial sustainability of the global aquaculture industry.
