“…In the biofloc technology, bacterial communities dominated by heterotrophic bacteria can be developed in aquaculture systems using appropriate carbon sources in suitable C:N ratios (Gaona et al, 2016). Ríos et al (2023) reported that C:N ratio of 10 significantly enhanced the immune stimulation in shrimp. Heterotrophic bacteria use organic carbon such as starch and sugar to generate energy and to grow into micro-biomass.…”

The aquaculture industry requires good water quality for its successful operation but produces wastes that can cause environmental deterioration and pose high risks to the sector. Adequate waste treatment and recycling are necessary to make aquaculture a sustainable and profitable industry and contribute to the circular economy. Polluted water sources, excess feeding, overstocking, use of antibiotics/chemicals, and harmful algal blooms (HABs) are major causes of water quality deterioration and low production in aquaculture systems. Discharges of untreated wastes would have serious impacts on the receiving water bodies, and eventually on the aquaculture industry itself.Possible solutions include technological innovations in environmentally friendly production systems, use of efficient processes in water quality management, and improved legislation and governance. Environmentally feasible aquaculture production technologies such as RAS (recycling aquaculture system), IMTA (integrated multitrophic aquaculture), and aquaponics including features of waste recycling are viable

“…That is why individual housing of the animals is preferred over group housing, as it allows for the sampling of individual shrimp at different timepoints to test an array of different immune parameters. Immune parameters that can be assessed in an in vivo challenge model in shrimp include the total hemocyte count (THC), differential hemocyte count (DHC), phagocytic index (PI), immune enzymes specific activity (phenoloxidase activity (POA), superoxide dismutase activity (SOD), Lysozyme activity (LZA), intracellular respiratory burst activity (IRB)), and the expression of known immune-related genes such as Hsp70, TGase, LYS, and ProPO [292,[328][329][330][331][332][333][334][335][336][337][338]. Once an immunostimulant has been tested in individual animals and efficacy has been established, it is advisable that the investigators also evaluate it in a group challenge model to further optimize the treatment under these conditions (refer to the sections Biologically Active Compounds and Antibody Therapy) (Table 4).…”

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is marked as one of the most economically devastating pathogens in shrimp aquaculture worldwide. Infection of cultured shrimp can lead to mass mortality (up to 100%). Although progress has been made, our understanding of WSSV’s infection process and the virus–host–environment interaction is far from complete. This in turn hinders the development of effective mitigation strategies against WSSV. Infection models occupy a crucial first step in the research flow that tries to elucidate the infectious disease process to develop new antiviral treatments. Moreover, since the establishment of continuous shrimp cell lines is a work in progress, the development and use of standardized in vivo infection models that reflect the host–pathogen interaction in shrimp is a necessity. This review critically examines key aspects of in vivo WSSV infection model development that are often overlooked, such as standardization, (post)larval quality, inoculum type and choice of inoculation procedure, housing conditions, and shrimp welfare considerations. Furthermore, the usefulness of experimental infection models for different lines of WSSV research will be discussed with the aim to aid researchers when choosing a suitable model for their research needs.
