“…Further large-scale integration of aquaculture with conventional agriculture (e.g., tilapia farming in rice paddy fields) [78] and aquaponics (e.g., cocultivating tilapia with lettuce) [79] may enable these benefits at the global scale, supporting a sustainable circular bioeconomy.…”

Photosynthetic microalgae are unicellular plants, many of which are rich in protein, lipids, and bioactives and form an important part of the base of the natural aquatic food chain. Population growth, demand for high-quality protein, and depletion of wild fishstocks are forecast to increase aquacultural fish demand by 37% between 2016 and 2030. This review highlights the role of microalgae and recent advances that can support a sustainable 'circular' aquaculture industry. Microalgae-based feed supplements and recombinant therapeutic production offer significant opportunities to improve animal health, disease resistance, and yields. Critically, microalgae in biofloc, 'green water', nutrient remediation, and integrated multitrophic aquaculture technologies offer innovative solutions for economic and environmentally sustainable development in line with key UN Sustainability Goals. Increasing Demand for Aquaculture Feeds Aquaculture (see Glossary) plays an increasingly important role in global food security, a critical challenge of the 21st century. The global population is forecast to increase from 7.6 to 9.8 billion by 2050 i , causing a projected food demand increase of 60-100% above 2005 levels [1,2]. In parallel, rising affluence is predicted to increase the demand for high-quality protein by 110% [2], emphasizing the need to establish sustainable ii high-protein food production networks. Currently,~57% of global protein supply is from plant sources (almost exclusively terrestrial); the remaining 43% is from animal sources (red meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, eggs, and other products) [3]. Of the 1.7 billion tonnes year −1 of animal products produced globally in 2016 iii , wild-caught and farmed fish accounted for~10% (171 million tonnes year −1 , US $143 billion) [4]. As wild-caught fish yields have plateaued over the past 20 years, fish demand has been met by an expanding aquaculture sector [4], which has increased from~20 million tonnes (1950) to~80 million tonnes (2016), at a growth rate of~2.3 million tonnes year −1 (~6%) iv. Aquaculture's contribution to meeting future food demand will require more sustainable practices that support both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. A key problem to date has been the high use of wild-caught pelagic fish for the production of fishmeal and fish oil for formulated aquafeeds. This has put pressure on populations of low-trophic species that are keystones in aquatic food webs (e.g., anchovies, capelin, herring, mackerel, menhaden, sardines) and which wild fisheries depend on [5,6]. It also increases the potential spread of bacterial (e.g., Vibrio cholerae [7]) and viral (e.g., iridovirus [8]) diseases via raw fish distribution. Fishmeal is a favored ingredient in fish nutrition as it is rich in protein, easily digestible, and palatable and provides a well-balanced source of essential amino acids, phospholipids, and omega-3 fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Increasing use of alternative ingredients include those from animal, pla...

“…A crescente demanda por alimentos e o esgotamento de recursos pesqueiros têm impulsionado o desenvolvimento da aquicultura como uma alternativa sustentável para a produção de proteína animal (MILSTEIN & HERNÁNDEZ, 2017). A literatura especializada confirma que o uso do Perifíton em sistemas de cultivo é uma alternativa no qual se verificam benefícios ecológicos e produtivos, dentro os quais, a melhoria da qualidade da água, redução da eutrofização e aumento da eficiência na utilização de recursos (AZIM et al, 2003;DAS et al, 2017).…”

“…The addition of tilapia to shrimp ponds has been used to improve water and sediment quality and shrimp production, compared to shrimp monoculture (Fitzsimmons & Shahkar, 2017). Tilapia has been cultivated with a variety of fish and crustaceans under co-culture conditions mainly to improve production and have better environmental control of the farming system (Milstein & Hernández, 2017). The co-culture of tilapia with white shrimp Penaeus vannamei, has been shown to improve production and nutrient utilization in relation to shrimp monoculture, obtaining a better profitability and less environmental contamination (Sun et al, 2011;Bessa et al, 2012; Corresponding editor: Jesús Ponce-Palafox Barraza et al, 2013;Fitzsimmons & Shahkar, 2017;López-Gómez et al, 2017).…”

The present study was carried out to determine the effect of tilapia Oreochromis niloticus on the physical and chemical sediment parameters on an earthen pond in monoculture (shrimp Penaeus vannamei) and co-culture (tilapia-shrimp) during the dry and wet seasons in a commercial farm during the period from mid-September to end-December 2017 and February to mid-May 2018. Chemical and physical analyses were realized on sediment samples from brackish water ponds representing shrimp farms in San Blas Nayarit, Mexico. Concentrations of organic carbon, nitrogen, potassium, magnesium and calcium were higher in co-culture ponds, and there was a tendency to a higher concentration of phosphorus and sodium in the sediment of monoculture ponds. The texture of the ponds showed a tendency in the dry season to increase the percentage of clay in co-culture due to the effect of bioturbation caused by tilapia. There was no evidence of poor development of sediment quality in any treatment. It was found that tilapia was a factor that affected sediment quality, differences in growth between shrimp monoculture and tilapia-shrimp co-culture can be explained, at least in part, by differences in their sediment.
