Shrimp farming is one of the most important worldwide developed sectors; however, this development has induced a series of negative environmental impacts. One strategy to reduce these impacts is the integration or co‐culture of shrimp farming with agriculture. The integration of shrimp farming with commercial plants has been carried out with the objective of minimizing the environmental impact through the use of biosolids and effluents enriched with nutrients, taking advantage of available resources and generating greater income for producers. The aim of this review was to present the state of the art of integrated shrimp–vascular plant culture, focus on those plants with commercial interest and describe the different forms of integration. We reviewed over 158 studies dealing with integrated shrimp–plant cultures at different salinities, as well as the influence of salinity in the performance of both biological components. Plants suitable for the integration with shrimp farming are also examined, including advantages and disadvantages. Finally, several features that require further research are identified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
