“…It plays an important function in feed production, especially in aquaculture activities such as improving gut microbiota, immunology, growth, antioxidative responses, and lipid profiles [ 87 , 101 ]. For example, mesophilic fungal biomass has recently increased pond soil diversity for freshwater prawn productivity [ 102 ]. Table 3 shows how fungal biomass is used in the feed business, mostly through mushrooms such as Agaricus sp.…”

Fungal biomass is the future’s feedstock. Non-septate Ascomycetes and septate Basidiomycetes, famously known as mushrooms, are sources of fungal biomass. Fungal biomass, which on averagely comprises about 34% protein and 45% carbohydrate, can be cultivated in bioreactors to produce affordable, safe, nontoxic, and consistent biomass quality. Fungal-based technologies are seen as attractive, safer alternatives, either substituting or complementing the existing standard technology. Water and wastewater treatment, food and feed, green technology, innovative designs in buildings, enzyme technology, potential health benefits, and wealth production are the key sectors that successfully reported high-efficiency performances of fungal applications. This paper reviews the latest technical know-how, methods, and performance of fungal adaptation in those sectors. Excellent performance was reported indicating high potential for fungi utilization, particularly in the sectors, yet to be utilized and improved on the existing fungal-based applications. The expansion of fungal biomass in the industrial-scale application for the sustainability of earth and human well-being is in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

“…Prawns are the important candidate species of global aquaculture which in turn generate employment and huge revenues. Globally, there are more than 200 species of Macrobrachium, of which nearly 30 species are found in India (Paulraj et al 2021a). The species of M. rosenbergii is the most important cultivable species (of prawns) due to its fast growth rate, larger size, hardiness, euryhaline nature and its compatibility with other shes (of India) and it is the second-largest contributor of prawns to the world market (Paulraj et al 2021a).…”

The free amino acid - profiles of the pond-cultured giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii were evaluated. The M. rosenbergii was collected from the natural pond culture sites that showed reasonably good growth and survival of adults of male, female and stunted animals. Totally 15 amino acids were detected in normal male and female adults. Whereas 14 amino acids were detected in the stunted animals and threonine was not detected in the stunted animal. Three non-essential amino acids, four conditional essential amino acids, and eight essential amino acids were recorded in the tissues of M. rosenbergii. The aspartic acid contributed a higher value in all three tissue samples; 185.3, 138.76, and 274.09 µL/mL in male, female and stunted animals respectively. The arginine was found to be the lowest value in the male (2.5 µL/mL) and in the stunted animals (3.78 µL/mL) but in the normal male the glycine was the lowest value (2.38 µL/mL). In the normal male, tyrosine, serine, and glutamic acid were at the highest concentrations but in the normal female, the glutamic acid, Leucine, and tyrosine contributed to the higher-level amino acids. However, in the stunted one, serine, leucine, and histidine (96.98, 81.62, and 63.59 µl/ml, respectively) showed the same values as glutamic and tyrosine. The overall amount of essential amino acids was higher in female prawns than in male and stunted ones. In contrast, the non-essential amino acid content was higher in the stunted shrimp. Therefore, stunted prawns can be used as good nutritional food for human consumption.
