In aquaculture industry, fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants are cultivated in fresh, salt, or brackish waters. The increasing demand of aquatic products has stimulated the rapid growth of aquaculture industries. How to effectively monitor and control water quality is one of the key concerns for aquaculture industry to ensure high productivity and high quality. There are four major categories of water quality concerns that affect aquaculture cultivations, namely, (1) physical parameters, e.g., pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and salinity, (2) organic contaminants, (3) biochemical hazards, e.g., cyanotoxins, and (4) biological contaminants, i.e., pathogens. While the physical parameters are affected by climate changes, the latter three are considered as environmental factors. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of sensors, biosensors, and analytical technologies available for monitoring aquaculture water quality. They include low-cost commercial sensors and sensor network setups for physical parameters. They also include chromatography, mass spectrometry, biochemistry, and molecular methods (e.g., immunoassays and polymerase chain reaction assays), culture-based method, and biophysical technologies (e.g., biosensors and nanosensors) for environmental contamination factors. According to the different levels of sophistication of various analytical techniques and the information they can provide (either fine fingerprint, highly accurate quantification, semiquantification, qualitative detection, or fast screening), we will comment on how they may be used as complementary tools, as well as their potential and gaps toward current demand of real-time, online, and/or onsite detection.

“…In addition, aquaculture is a signifi cant socio-economic activity through employment, income generation, Amalina and Ina-Salwany domestic and international trade, and provide livelihoods especially for rural communities (Edward et al, 2002). Unfortunately, the diseases problem of aquaculture sector is increasing every years caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites and other emerging pathogens (Adams and Thompson, 2011). This problem also effects the economic and social development worldwide.…”

Vibriosis is one of a major problem in aquaculture sector causes by Vibrio species and gives bad impact on economy and social development. In addition, number of the infected people with vibriosis is increasing every year through consuming of contaminated fi shes and other aquatic animals. To overcome this problem, researchers continuously develop new methods for identifi cation and detection of Vibrio species. Those methods can be categorized based on the principle applied; conventional culture method, antigen-antibody based assay, nucleic acid amplifi cation technology and lateral fl ow dipstick. The conventional culture method is a basis in identifi cation of Vibrio but it is time consuming and requires skilled personnel. The nucleic acid amplifi cation technology such as isothermal amplifi cation assay in a combination of lateral fl ow dipstick is widely used since these assays offer rapid, easy to handle and high sensitivity and specifi city detection methods. This paper also reviews and describes the available application and limitations of the studies involving Vibrio detection methods of aquaculture fi eld. As a conclusion, the development of new technologies is very important to improve the detection of Vibrio species as well as increasing the number of food production to meet human demands.

“…All infected samples were positive with varying signal intensities, corresponding to different amounts of nodavirus in the sample. Even though lateral flow biosensors based on immunochromatography have been introduced for several fish pathogens analysis [33], nucleic acid LFBs are on high demand today. To our knowledge,…”
