“…Moreover, due to their intrinsic tolerance to high salinity, halophytes are excellent candidates for integrated marine aquaculture systems (i.e., aquaponics), where they can act in the recovery of saline aquaculture effluents [27]. In recent years, many efforts have been carried out to unravel the suitability of these crops in aquaponic systems [28][29][30][31] but some crucial aspects are still under-investigated, such as the occurrence and control of plant pathogens. The constant presence of water is an ideal condition for a plethora of plant pathogens and the best adapted are probably those belonging to the phylum Oomycota, which includes genera like Globisporangium and Phytophthora.…”

Halophytes are salt-tolerant plants growing in saline ecosystems and are spread throughout the Mediterranean area. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in agricultural exploitation of halophytes, but poor attention has been given to pest and disease management of these species. The objective of this review is to assess the extent and distribution of pathogenic fungal and fungal-like (Oomycota) organisms on major Mediterranean halophytes. We retrieved 92 references spanning over 100 years, with more than half published since 2000. Ascomycota is the best-represented phylum, and the order Pleosporales has the highest species diversity. The order Pucciniales prevails in Basidiomycota, whereas Peronosporales is the richest order within Oomycota. Most of the pathogenic species have been isolated from aboveground organs, especially from leaves. Portulaca oleracea is the species with the most associated pathogens (16) and records (28). Leveillula powdery mildew, caused by Leveillula taurica, is the most common disease among the selected species. Cakile maritima was found to be vulnerable to different mycotoxigenic Alternaria species. Strengthening the research on diseases of halophytes is essential to successfully grow these species and to evaluate the risks related to the presence of mycotoxigenic species, which is crucial for the effective exploitation of halophytes as crops.

“…Optimizing the system balance for high production and minimal environmental effect is a challenge. The importance of smart aquaponics for food production worldwide is emphasized in the study, as is the requirement to address agricultural issues and possibilities [22] [23].…”

“…The assessment also emphasizes the value of the plentiful fog water as an irrigation resource and its contribution to desert greening [24]. The study [25][26][27] states that by combining hydroponics and aquaculture in a closed-loop system, smart aquaponics significantly advances sustainable agriculture. Compared to traditional agricultural techniques, this novel strategy maximizes resource efficiency while preserving water and reducing environmental effect.…”

Technological advancements have become the key factor for major changes and upgradations in numerous industries and domain. Agriculture is no exception, technology stacks like IoT and AI are being integrated into agriculture up to a large extent starting from best crop prediction to crop health analysis, nutrient analysis to yield prediction. The intervention of technology is even more prominent in various smart agriculture methods including aquaponics, hydroponics, etc. Aquaponics is a sustainable method of agriculture, that combines aquaculture (fish farming) with hydroponics. This innovative system allows for the cultivation of fish and plants simultaneously, enabling a symbiotic relationship that enhances nutrient recycling. To lead the way for smart aquaponics, as technology continues to advance, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) holds immense potential for transforming traditional aquaponics into smart aquaponics. By harnessing real-time monitoring and decision support, AI and IoT can revolutionize various aspects of aquaponics that includes a major paradigm shift in agriculture, promising increased productivity, reduced resource usage, and improved environmental conservation. This article explores the transformative potential of leveraging AI and IoT technologies in aquaponics systems for yield enhancement, sustainability, and overall efficiency.

“…The potential of halophytes as new vegetable, forage, and oilseed crops as well as in managing saline agricultural wastewater was explored in a review published towards the end of the last century by Ed Glenn, another pioneer in the field, with his colleagues [ 34 ]. There have been very many other reviews of the use of various aspects of using saline water and salt-tolerant plants in agriculture, horticulture, and the remediation of degraded lands; here we provide examples (and we emphasize these are just examples) from the last ten years include; Cassaniti et al [ 35 ], Ventura and Sagi [ 36 ], Rozema and Schat [ 37 ], Hasanuzzaman et al [ 38 ], Nizar et al [ 39 ], Loconsole et al [ 40 ], Li et al [ 41 ], Oliveira et al [ 42 ], Holguin-Pena et al [ 43 ], Spradlin and Saha [ 44 ], and García-Caparros et al [ 45 ].…”

Climate change is likely to affect the ability of world agricultural systems to provide food, fibre, and fuel for the growing world population, especially since the area of salinised land will increase. However, as few species of plants (less than 1% of all plant species) can tolerate saline soils, we believe it is important to evaluate their potential as crops for salinised soils. We have analysed the economic and potential economic uses of plants that are listed in the database eHALOPH, including the most tolerant species, halophytes. For nine main categories of economic value, we found a total of 1365 uses amongst all species listed in eHALOPH as of July 2022; this number reduced to 918 amongst halophytes. We did not find any obvious differences in rankings between the more tolerant halophytes and the whole group of salt-tolerant plants, where the order of use was medical, followed by forage, traditional medicine, food and drink, fuel, fuelwood, and bioenergy. While many species are potentially important as crops, the effects of salt concentration on their uses are much less well documented. Increasing salt concentration can increase, decrease, or have no effect on the concentration of antioxidants found in different species, but there is little evidence on the effect of salinity on potential yield (the product of concentration and biomass). The effect of salinity on forage quality again varies with species, often being reduced, but the overall consequences for livestock production have rarely been evaluated. Salt-tolerant plants have potential uses in the bioremediation of degraded land (including revegetation, phytoremediation, and extraction of NaCl) as well as sources of biofuels, although any use of saline water for the sustainable irrigation of salt-tolerant crops must be viewed with extreme caution.
