“…It is wellknown for forming free-floating "green tides" such as the blooms of U. prolifera that appear annually in the Yellow Sea and disrupted the 2008 Beijing Olympics sailing events (Li et al, 2016). Ulva provides services for the food industry (Rouxel et al, 2001) and is used in aquaculture of fish (Azaza et al, 2008) and marine invertebrates such as shrimps and abalone (Cruz-Suarez et al, 2010;Brito et al, 2013;Viera et al, 2016). Due to their high photosynthetic and growth rates (Longstaff et al, 2002;Figueroa et al, 2009), Ulva species are used as biofilters in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture systems to reduce organic loads from fish effluents (Bartoli et al, 2005;Korzen et al, 2016).…”

The genus Ulva (Chlorophyta) is ubiquitous along Israeli Mediterranean shores where it has been studied extensively due to its important ecological role and potential value in biotechnology and aquaculture. Previous identifications of Ulva in Israel were based only on morphology. Here, we compare species found in 2002 and in 2014-2016. Analyses of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rbcL) and elongation factor 1-alpha (tufA) plastid genes (2014-2016 samples only), combined with morphological data, identified six Ulva species, three of which are new records for Israel and probably originate from the Indo-Pacific. Ulva compressa, rarely found in 2002, is now the most abundant species and exhibits two fairly distinct morphologies correlated with different haplotypes for both genes. Ulva fasciata was found more commonly in 2002 than in 2014-16, whereas the morphologically similar, and closely related, invasive species U. ohnoi seemed more frequent in recent samples. The finely branched tubular Ulva tepida was found in 2002 and 2015/16, and U. chaugulii and Ulva aragoensis (Bliding) Maggs, comb. nov. were discovered for the first time in 2015/16. The changing Ulva flora of the Israeli Mediterranean may be correlated with major environmental changes including 3°C increase in sea surface temperatures over the last two decades, as well as a generally increasing prevalence of non-native species. The local Ulva species now found in Israel could be of value for various industrial uses.

“…The poor assimilation of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) by shrimp can be compensated by the presence of red seaweed Gracilaria , which can turn wastes into biomass, significantly improving water quality in traditional systems (Huo, Xu, Wang, Zhang, Zhang, Wu, Chen & He ; Marinho‐Soriano, Azevedo, Trigueiro, Pereira & Carneiro ; Huo, Wu, Chai, Xu, Han, Dong & He ; Robledo, Navaro‐Angulo, Lozano & Freile‐Pelegrin ) and zero‐exchange systems (Sánchez‐Romero, Miranda‐Baeza, López‐Elías, Martínez‐Córdova, Tejeda‐Mansir & Márquez‐Ríos ; Brito, Arantes, Magnotti, Derner, Pchara, Olivera & Vinatea ). Seaweed may also improve shrimp growth and yield in semi‐intensive (Gamboa‐Delgado, Peña‐Rodríguez, Ricque‐Marie & Cruz‐Suárez ; Portillo‐Clark, Casillas‐Hernández, Servín‐Villegas & Magallón‐Barajas ) and intensive systems (Brito, Arantes et al .…”

An indoor trial was conducted for 42 days to evaluate water quality, Vibrio density and growth of Litopenaeus vannamei in an integrated biofloc system (IBS) with Gracilaria birdiae. Four treatments were used, each in triplicate: Control (monoculture shrimp); IBS 2.5 (L. vannamei and 2.5 kg wet weight seaweed m À3 ); IBS 5.0 (L. vannamei and 5.0 kg wet weight seaweed m À3 ) and IBS 7.5 (L. vannamei and 7.5 wet weight seaweed m À3 ). Shrimp individuals (0.34 AE 0.01 g) were stocked at a density of 500 shrimp m À3 . No water exchange was carried out during the experimental period. Molasses was added once a day as an organic carbon source to maintain the C:N ratio at 12:1. The IBS significantly decreased (P < 0.05) dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) ranging from 19% to 34% (3.12-3.83 mg L À1 ), NO 3 -N ranging from 19% to 38% (2.40-3.16 mg L À1 ), Vibrio density ranging from by 8-83% (0.40-2.20 log 10 3 colony-forming units mL À1 ), and FCR ranging from by 20-30% (1.20-1.37), as compared to the control (4.73 mg L À1 , 3.93 mg L À1 , 2.40 log 10 3 colony-forming units mL À1 , and 1.74 respectively). Moreover, the IBS significantly increased (P < 0.05) crude protein in whole body shrimp, ranging from 8% to 13% (13.2-13.7% wet weight basis); as well as final weight, ranging from 25% to 32% (3.90-4.12 g), weekly growth ranging from 25% to 34% (0.59-0.63 g), and shrimp yield by 22-39% (1.72-1.96 kg m À3 ), as compared to control (12.1% wet weight basis, 3.12 g, 0.47 g, and 1.41 kg m À3 respectively). It can thus be concluded that cultivating Gracilaria birdiae in an IBS with L. vannamei can contribute to DIN and NO 3 -N removal, lower Vibrio density, increased crude protein in whole body shrimp, higher growth and yield parameters in shrimp culture.

“…However, low survival rates and poor flesh quality of farmed turtles often compromise production and economic benefits (Ding 2000). Generally, the culture environment is an important factor influencing the survival, growth and quality of cultured species (Neal et al 2010, Brito et al 2014, Price et al 2015. Also, the impacts of aquaculture effluents on water quality and diversity of adjacent natural water bodies have been addressed by many studies (Xie et al 2004, Herbeck et al 2014.…”

The Chinese soft-shelled turtle Pelodiscus sinensis is a highly valued freshwater species cultured in China. A 122 d experiment was conducted to assess the effects of water spinach Ipomoea aquatica cultivation in floating beds on water quality, and growth performance and economic return of P. sinensis cultured in ponds. Two treatments, each in triplicate, with and without I. aquatica cultivation were designed. Results showed that the levels of total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), chlorophyll a (chl a) and turbidity in treatments with I. aquatica cultivation (IAC) were significantly (p < 0.05) lower than those in treatments without I. aquatica (control). Mean TN and TP concentrations in the IAC treatment were 27.9 and 42.5%, respectively, lower than in the control treatment at the end of the experiment. The presence of I. aquatica also has a positive effect on the performance of P. sinensis. Although no significant difference was found in specific growth rate (SGR) between the 2 treatments, mean survival rates, production and net income were significantly higher in the IAC treatment compared to the control (p < 0.05). These results suggest that I. aquatica cultivation in the pond system of turtles has a synergistic effect on overall economic return and is effective at improving turtle growth performance and water quality.
