“…Qualitative evidence from the ornamental fish industry suggests the addition of ~5 ppt salt to freshwater aquaria reduces mortality after the onset of disease, and commercial products that increase ion concentrations to fight disease in home aquaria are popular, yet the mechanism of action is unclear (Altinok & Grizzle ; Lim et al . ; Ramírez‐Duarte ). Our results suggest that even minor increases in salinity (0 ppt to 5 ppt) can change the fish host microbiome, perhaps also restricting the growth of potential pathogens.…”

Community assembly of a euryhaline fish microbiome during salinity acclimation

Microbiomes play a critical role in promoting a range of host functions. Microbiome function, in turn, is dependent on its community composition. Yet, how microbiome taxa are assembled from their regional species pool remains unclear. Many possible drivers have been hypothesized, including deterministic processes of competition, stochastic processes of colonization and migration, and physiological 'host-effect' habitat filters. The contribution of each to assembly in nascent or perturbed microbiomes is important for understanding host-microbe interactions and host health. In this study, we characterized the bacterial communities in a euryhaline fish and the surrounding tank water during salinity acclimation. To assess the relative influence of stochastic versus deterministic processes in fish microbiome assembly, we manipulated the bacterial species pool around each fish by changing the salinity of aquarium water. Our results show a complete and repeatable turnover of dominant bacterial taxa in the microbiomes from individuals of the same species after acclimation to the same salinity. We show that changes in fish microbiomes are not correlated with corresponding changes to abundant taxa in tank water communities and that the dominant taxa in fish microbiomes are rare in the aquatic surroundings, and vice versa. Our results suggest that bacterial taxa best able to compete within the unique host environment at a given salinity appropriate the most niche space, independent of their relative abundance in tank water communities. In this experiment, deterministic processes appear to drive fish microbiome assembly, with little evidence for stochastic colonization.

Zeolites are microporous crystalline hydrated aluminosilicates, which have found various applications because of their very unique physicochemical characteristics such as ion exchange and adsorption–desorption properties. Significant progress has been made in recent years on applications of these inorganic adsorbents in different industries including agriculture, aquaculture, water and wastewater treatment, air purification and petrochemicals. This review article intends to summarize the published reports on the applications of natural, synthetic and modified zeolites in aquaculture industry. Application of zeolitic materials for water quality improvement of fish farms and fish transportation tanks by selective capturing of ammonia and toxic heavy metals and zeolite application as feed additive to enhance fish growth and promote their health and nutritional parameters are the most important discussed areas. According to the technical data that are discussed in this review, natural and synthetic zeolites should be considered as materials with tremendous potential of applications in the aquaculture industry. Considerable amounts of research works are under way to explore other opportunities for application of zeolites to benefit aquaculture industry.

“…However, in Poecilia vivipara (Araújo & Monteiro, 2013), P. latipinna (Gonzalez, 2012; Gonzalez et al, 2005), T. trichopterus (Crosby et al, 2006), Arapaima gigas (Brandão et al, 2008) and Salmo gairdneri (Barton & Peter, 1982), saline water did not promote stress. Salt addition reduced plasma cortisol and glucose in Brycon cephalus (Carneiro & Urbinati, 2001), Astyanax altiparanae (Salaro et al, 2015) and Ancistrus triradiatus (Ramírez‐Duarte et al, 2011).…”

Common salt (99.3% of sodium chloride) is used as a water additive to reduce management stress in ornamental fish. Therefore, specific information on fish tolerance to water salinity is needed for establishing safe limits for salt use. In this study, we aimed to evaluate juvenile platy, Xiphophorus maculatus, for stress response and tolerance to acute salinity exposure. The fish were exposed to 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 g common salt/L water, for 96 h. Each aquarium containing 15 fish was considered an experimental unit. Mortality was quantified throughout the all‐experimental period, and blood glucose was measured at 24 and 96 h. Survival probability was high (>90%) in platy exposed to 0, 5 and 10 g common salt/L water. The median lethal concentration (LC50) was estimated at 16.54 g common salt/L water, by logistic regression analysis. Platy showed an increase in blood glucose at 24 h with increased salinity, but glucose levels decreased at 96 h of in fish exposed to 10 and 15 g/L. These findings suggest that short periods of exposure to common salt in water trigger stress responses in juvenile platy. Therefore, common salt should not be used in the handling and transport of platy, at the exposure times evaluated.
