“…Similarly, in shrimp, high levels of ammonia in the water affect nutrient assimilation and growth, immune response, oxygen transportation and consumption, moulting and survival (Cheng et al 2013); also, the exposure to ammonia increases the risk of infection by pathogens, such as Vibro alginolyticus , Lactococcus garvieae and Enterococcus spp. (Li et al 2018).…”

Aquaculture is an economic activity that faces the unavoidable problem of water quality detriment, which is mainly generated by the improper management of production ponds, including inadequate water circulation and aeration, accumulation of undigested food residues, excretion of metabolic by‐products by the cultivated organisms and other. In addition, the increase in suspended organic matter together with the presence and generation of nitrogen compounds can severely affect the physiology of the animal, leading to significant losses in production. Ammonia (NH3), nitrite (NO2) and nitrate (NO3) are toxic in different scales and environmental conditions; therefore, reducing their concentrations in the culture units has paramount relevance. In this regard, bioflocs are an efficient alternative to transform nitrogen compounds into a non‐toxic form, taking advantage of the capabilities of the microbial communities conforming them. Also, nitrogen can be harnessed and incorporated as organic nitrogen, making the biofloc a source of useful natural food for the cultivated organism. The substantial reduction in the rate of water exchange favoured by the biofloc technology (BFT) is a beneficial advantage for both the production systems and the environment, diminishing the risk of introducing pathogens into the pond in parallel with the improvement in the water quality of effluents. Ammonia oxidation is an advantage adding value to the BFT systems and is discussed in this review.

“…For instance, when ammonia levels in aquaculture water reach a certain mass concentration, non‐ionic ammonia could easily enter shrimp body via cell membranes, resulting in physiological imbalance and inhibition of growth (Naqvi et al, 2007; Xiao et al, 2019). Moulting is strongly impacted by high ammonia levels, as the epidermis‐secreted chitinase that degrades the inner layers of old exoskeleton to synthesize a new one during moulting (ecdysis) (Zou & Bonvillain, 2004; Salma et al, 2012) has been shown to be significantly decreased in shrimp upon ammonia stress treatment (Lu et al, 2016; Zhou et al, 2017; Lu et al, 2018; Li et al, 2018b) (see Table 4). In terms of immune response, elevated ammonia levels could induce an immune response in shrimp (Spriggs et al, 2010; Lu et al, 2016), as high levels of ammonia decrease shrimp immunity and increase their susceptibility to pathogens (Qiu et al, 2018).…”

The rapid expansion in shrimp farming comes with problems such as inadequate culture technology, disease outbreak, water pollution and other environmental degradation‐related problems. Prominent among these is the level of ammonia, which has been rising steadily in the last couple of years, mainly due to farming practices and other anthropogenic activities, and therefore has had consequent effects on marine life, especially shrimp. While optimal ammonia levels are a good source of nitrogen for marine phytoplankton that increases the level of dissolved oxygen in water as well serves as food for shrimp, high levels of ammonia are harmful to shrimp. When shrimp pond ammonia levels go beyond the tolerance limits, it inhibits chitinase expression, moulting, growth, phenoloxidase and haemolymph antimicrobial activity, thereby attenuating shrimp innate immune response. In this review, we bring together recent information on the effects of ammonia stress on the growth, physiology, biochemistry, ammonia‐metabolizing enzymes and immunity of shrimp. We also propose areas of research that can be explored in the breeding of new ammonia‐tolerant and disease‐resistant shrimp with robust immune and/or physiological systems that could withstand environmental stress and pathogens.

“…monodon production (Alfaro‐Montoya et al, 2019). In addition to direct infections by viral and bacterial pathogens, environmental stress is also a crucial factor causing various diseases (Kaur & Rao, 2017; Li et al, 2018; Shekhar et al, 2014). Environmental factors play crucial roles in nutrient uptake, osmotic metabolism, defence against pathogens and maintenance of host health in aquaculture systems.…”

“…Intensive culture systems produce shrimp excreta, metabolic waste and organic detritus, causing concerns regarding water pollution and shrimp diseases; moreover, increased levels of ammonia, occurring from rapid accumulation, are important limiting factors of shrimp growth. Previous studies have demonstrated that ammonia stress could affect a variety of physiological functions in shrimp, including metabolism (Bernasconi & Uglow, 2011; Qiu et al, 2018), the neuroendocrine (Cui et al, 2017) and immune (Lu et al, 2017) systems, osmoregulation (Chen & Chen, 2000), moulting (Zhou et al, 2017) and apoptosis (Huerlimann et al, 2018; Li et al, 2018).…”

Mortality due to environmental stressors negatively affects Penaeus monodon aquaculture. We compared bacterial communities in P. monodon individuals sensitive and tolerant to salinity and ammonia nitrogen stress using MiSeq in the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene. Thirty‐eight bacterial phyla and 735 genera were identified, with significantly different compositions among shrimp with different stress tolerance. The dominant phyla in all groups were Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Tenericutes, Firmicutes, Fusobacteria, Actinobacteria and Verrucomicrobia. Proteobacteria was the most abundant and largest phylum overall. Actinobacteria, Verrucomicrobia and Chloroflexi were more abundant in ammonia‐sensitive shrimp than in ammonia‐tolerant ones. Salinity‐sensitive shrimp had greater abundances of Planctomycetes and Parcubacteria than salinity‐tolerant individuals, but a lower abundance of Tenericutes. At the genus level, ammonia‐sensitive shrimp individuals had greater abundances of Pelomonas than ammonia‐tolerant individuals. Meanwhile, salinity‐sensitive individuals had greater abundances of unclassified Rhodobacteraceae, Nautella and Halomonas than salinity‐tolerant individuals, but lower abundances of Vibrio and unclassified Mycoplasmataceae. These results showed that while bacterial compositions were similar across individuals with different stress tolerance, the relative abundances of specific bacterial taxa varied. Our findings indicate a relationship between environmental stress and intestinal microorganisms in P. monodon and contribute to further understand the effects of different environmental stress factors on intestinal microflora of shrimp.
