“…It was found that the income generated from selling Sarcocornia as an agricultural crop, together with savings on water treatment and potential fines, contributes to the system's economic viability. Pinheiro and colleagues [113,114] further demonstrated the usefulness of plant-animal production systems by growing S. ambigua and white shrimp in a recirculating system. In addition to increasing the efficiency of nitrogen assimilation and thus reducing waste, it was possible to produce 2 kg of plant biomass per kg of shrimp.…”

Sarcocornia A. J. Scott is a halophytic edible succulent plant belonging to the Amaranthaceae family. To date, the genus includes 28 species distributed worldwide in saline environments, usually salt marshes. Sarcocornia (Scott) is similar to Salicornia (L.), which has a recognized commercial value in morphological and taxonomical traits. Species of both genera are commonly named samphire or glassworts in Europe, and their fleshy shoots are commercialized under their traditional names. Due to their nutritional, organoleptic and medicinal properties, Sarcocornia species have a high economic potential in various biotechnology sectors. Being highly tolerant to salt, they can be cultivated in saline conditions, and dissimilar to Salicornia, they are perennial, i.e., they can be harvested year-round. Therefore, Sarcocornia species are considered promising gourmet vegetables to be explored in the context of climate change, soil and water salinization and eco-sustainability. We hereby put together and reviewed the most relevant information on Sarcocornia taxonomy, morphology, nutritional and pharmacological properties, uses in ethnomedicine, potential applications in biotechnology, and propagation strategies.

“…M.A.Alonso & M.B.Crespo, a perennial Salicornioideae, displayed productivity values of 110 g m −2 day −1 when planted at a density of 100 plants m −2 [70]. Yet, much lower values have been reported for the same species (11 g m −2 day −1 ) at densities of 40 plants m −2 under different aquaponic conditions [71].…”

LED Lighting and High-Density Planting Enhance the Cost-Efficiency of Halimione Portulacoides Extraction Units for Integrated Aquaculture

Halophytes are salt-tolerant plants that can be used to extract dissolved inorganic nutrients from saline aquaculture effluents under a production framework commonly known as Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA). Halimione portulacoides (L.) Aellen (common name: sea purslane) is an edible saltmarsh halophyte traditionally consumed by humans living near coastal wetlands and is considered a promising extractive species for IMTA. To better understand its potential for IMTA applications, the present study investigates how artificial lighting and plant density affect its productivity and capacity to extract nitrogen and phosphorous in hydroponic conditions that mimic aquaculture effluents. Plant growth was unaffected by the type of artificial lighting employed—white fluorescent lights vs. blue-white LEDs—but LED systems were more energy-efficient, with a 17% reduction in light energy costs. Considering planting density, high-density units of 220 plants m−2 produced more biomass per unit of area (54.0–56.6 g m−2 day−1) than did low-density units (110 plants m−2; 34.4–37.1 g m−2 day−1) and extracted more dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus. Overall, H. portulacoides can be easily cultivated hydroponically using nutrient-rich saline effluents, where LEDs can be employed as an alternative to fluorescent lighting and high-density planting can promote higher yields and extraction efficiencies.

“…cicla produced in freshwater and saltwater aquaponic systems, see Nozzi et al [56], suggesting that salinity may affect plants to assimilate this critical nutrient. However, Pinheiro et al [27] reported that the concentration of PO 4 3− was significantly lower in high salinity treatment than in low salinity treatment. Therefore, more research is needed to determine how salinity affects plants' ability to assimilate PO 4 3− in aquaponics.…”

“…However, high concentrations of nitrate-N remain a concern, despite the fact it is less toxic to aquatic animals than other nitrogenous compounds. Nitrate-N removal can be accomplished with the use of plants in an integrated aquaponic culture system [23,25], but there have been a few published reports of BFT use in aquaponics [26,27].…”

The effect of salinity on the growth performance of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) and three halophyte plants, red orache (Atriplex hortensis), okahijiki (Salsola komarovii), and minutina (Plantago coronopus), in a marine aquaponic system with biofloc was evaluated in this study. The experiment was conducted for 4 weeks, and the three treatments were 10, 15, or 20 ppt (parts per thousand). The growth performance of the shrimp and the three halophytes were affected by the salinity. Compared to the shrimp reared in 10 ppt, those reared in 15 and 20 ppt had higher final weight, weight gain rate (WGR), and specific growth rate (SGR), and lower feed conversion ratio (FCR). The results from shrimp raised in 15 ppt were 2.0 ± 0.1 g, 89.9 ± 2.2%, 2.3 ± 0.0%, and 1.5 ± 0.0, respectively, and those in 20 ppt were 2.0 ± 0.1 g, 93.9 ± 5.4%, 2.4 ± 0.1%, and 1.4 ± 0.1, respectively. On the other hand, the growth performance and nutrient content in halophyte plants decreased Prime Archives in Sustainability 3 www.videleaf.comwith the increasing salinity. In general, the three halophyte plants had better results in the 10 and 15 ppt treatments than those in 20 ppt. Therefore, the salinity of 15 ppt was suggested as the optimal condition for the integrated cultivation of whiteleg shrimp and the three halophytes in marine aquaponics. Additionally, they are compatible species for the development of marine aquaponics.
