“…The data showed that D. salina provoked the highest feed conversion rate and, after challenge with V. anguillarum , the fish had an anti‐inflammatory effect on the gene expression levels. Consistent with this experiment, D. salina supplementation (11 g kg −1 ) in tilapia O. niloticus protected fish to lead contamination 97 ; and in shrimp ( L. vannamei ) fed 3% microalgae increased pathogenic protection 98 . Overall, D. salina has immunostimulatory potential for fish and other animal species of aquaculture interest.…”

In recent decades, microalgal biotechnology has become one of the most valuable sources of functional feed additives. Many microalgae, such as Chlorella sp., Tetraselmis sp., Navicula sp., Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Porphyridium cruentum, Nannochloropsis gaditana, Dunaliella salina, Lobosphaera sp. and Schizochytrium sp., have been considered valuable in fish species as they enhance immunostimulant abilities, resistance against infectious diseases and tolerance to environmental stress. For instance, immunological parameters (i.e., respiratory burst activity, phagocytic capacity and IgM production) and immune‐related gene expression (i.e., proinflammatory cytokines) in fish have been manly analysed, demonstrating modulation upon microalgal administration. Moreover, disease resistance to microbial pathogen challenges has also been evidenced in several studies. In this context, the present literature review aims to assemble and reveal published research about the immunostimulant properties of some microalgae and their compounds in the immune systems of farmed fish species, whether model or new, with a high potential for aquaculture. Overall, it remains unclear how microalgae or their bioactive compounds may induce or modulate signals in the immune systems of fish species; however, the inclusion of different microalgal species in fish feed has improved the immune response and increased survival to stress conditions and infectious challenges.

“…The main shrimp diseases are caused by bacterial pathogens mainly from Vibrio species such as V. harveyi , V. alginolyticus , V. campbellii , and V. parahaemolyticus , causing necrosis, slow growth, anorexia, and mortality during the post-larval development 5 . In this regard V. parahaemolyticus strains constitute the etiological agent of the most relevant bacterial disease recorded in shrimp to this day, which has severely disrupted the shrimp industry containing a unique virulence plasmid with genes encoded for delta endotoxins (pir A and pir B), similar to the Photorhabdus insect-related (Pir) toxin, and causing mortality in the infected organisms 2 , 6 . However, non-pathogenic species such as V. alginolyticus and V. gazogenes inhibit the growth of other pathogenic Vibrio.…”

This work aimed to evaluate the link between the occurrence/abundance of Vibrio populations and bacterial composition in shrimp's intestine (Litopenaeus vannamei) during post-larval ontogenetic development and in its culture water, and the correlation of these with environmental parameters. The total and metabolically active populations of Vibrio in the digestive tract of shrimp during its post-larval development were analysed using quantitative PCR (qPCR) and reverse transcription qPCR targeting the 16S rRNA gene sequence. A lab-scale shrimp bioassay was performed for 80 days in a recirculating aquarium under strictly controlled conditions. The results indicate that the Vibrio population from shrimp's gut is associated with its developmental stage and the environment. Multivariate analyses revealed that the presence of Vibrio spp. drove the studied system, but their metabolically active performance was related to earlier developmental stages in an aqueous environment. Also, the samples taken from water of culture units to compare the influence of the aquatic environment on the intestinal microbial community during shrimp's ontogenetic development showed significant differences. Finally, our results revealed that Vibrio is an important member of shrimp's gut microbiota; however, its metabolic activity seems to be highly regulated, possibly by the host and by the rest of the microbiota. Shrimp aquaculture plays an important role in the world's economy. In the western hemisphere, Mexico is the sixth-largest producer of shrimp by aquaculture and, specifically, 37% of this production is provided by the State of Sonora, where the Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei is one of the most exported species around the world for human consumption due to its edible protein and nutrients 1,2. In the last decade, the high demand from the aquaculture market, the quickly growing rate of shrimp production, and intensive farming practices have made these shrimp susceptible to disease and mortality, causing spoiled cultures and irreparable economic losses for the aquaculture industry 2-4. One of the principal factors threatening shrimp production is related to biotic factors, which encompass virus and bacterial infections, and abiotic factors which are mostly linked to intensive farming practices, triggering the accumulation of carbonaceous, nitrogenous, and phosphorous species in farming ponds 1,3. Shrimp diseases caused by opportunistic bacteria such as bacteria and viruses are the major problems that can lead to considerable losses in the shrimp farm industry. The main shrimp diseases are caused by bacterial pathogens mainly from Vibrio species such as V. harveyi, V. alginolyticus, V. campbellii, and V. parahaemolyticus, causing necrosis, slow growth, anorexia, and mortality during the post-larval development 5. In this regard V. parahaemolyticus strains constitute the etiological agent of the most relevant bacterial disease recorded in shrimp to this day, which has severely disrupted the shrimp industry containing a unique...

“…Some microalgal species are able to produce antibacterial compounds (Medina Félix et al, 2017;Sarjito, Desrina, & Prayitno, 2018). For example, when cultured under stress (limited nitrate or/and phosphate), Dunaliella salina was able to improve the survival rate and the physiological and immune responses to a variety of pathogens, such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Medina Félix et al, 2017). White spot syndrome virus is another pathogenic bacterium that is harmful to shrimp, but so far, effective methods to control this virus are lacking (Feng et al, 2014).…”

Using microalgae for animal nutrition provides an economically viable route for microalgae-based technological innovation, especially in combination with CO 2 fixation given current global warming. However, this technology still lacks sufficient evaluation for screening microalgae for specific animals; meanwhile, current studies show some prejudice regarding 'essential' or 'non-essential' ingredients. The results show that Dunaliella salina and Nannochloropsis salina were able to accumulate high protein (30%-57%) and lipid (20%-46%) content without affecting the performance of CO 2 fixation, which reached 0.28 and 0.23 g L −1 day −1 respectively. Both species exhibited high quality of lipids and proteins for Penaeus monodon based on the profiling. The essential fatty acid indexes (EFAI) for N. salina and D. salina were 3.81 and 9.02 respectively. Butyric acid was found to be present in both D. salina (12.03%) and N. salina (4.87%) based on the total fatty acids (FAs). The essential amino acid indexes (EAAI) for D. salina and N. salina were 2.23 and 1.29 respectively. Arginine was the most abundant essential amino acid (EAA) in both D. salina (10.83%) and N. salina (13.35%) on the basis of total amino acids (AAs). This study comprehensively compares the nutritional quality of the two commercial marine microalgae of D. salina and N. salinawith the potential to be used as sustainable sources of lipids and proteins to reduce or even replace the traditional fish oil and fish meal in aquafeeds.
