Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue, “Green Sustainable Aquaculture and Environmental Control”, aims to explore innovative strategies and technologies that promote the environmental sustainability of aquaculture systems. Its scope includes, but is not limited to, the following: advancements in water quality management, waste reduction and resource recycling, energy-saving systems, environmentally friendly feed development, and integrating aquaculture with the principles of circular economy. Additionally, we welcome research on policy frameworks and socio-economic impacts, as well as case studies of successful implementation of sustainable practices.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to address the urgent need to balance the growth of aquaculture with ecological protection, emphasizing solutions that minimize environmental footprint while enhancing productivity and resilience.

Based on the existing literature, this Special Issue aims to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical application, providing a platform for interdisciplinary research combining aquaculture, environmental science, and engineering. This platform will help to promote the continuous development of discussions on sustainable aquaculture, showcasing cutting-edge innovative achievements and evidence-based solutions.

This study investigated the effects of dietary Bacillus cereus, administered alone or in combination with biofloc technology, on the growth performance, immune response, disease resistance, and intestinal microbiota of Litopenaeus vannamei. Shrimp fed diets supplemented with B. cereus, either directly or via biofloc systems, exhibited significantly increased final body weight and specific growth rate, together with a reduced feed conversion ratio compared with the control group. The expression levels of key hepatopancreatic immune-related genes, including lysozyme, prophenoloxidase, superoxide dismutase, Toll, immune deficiency, and Relish, were significantly upregulated in probiotic-associated treatments. Following challenge with Vibrio parahaemolyticus, cumulative mortality was markedly lower in all treatments involving B. cereus or biofloc compared with the control. Although alpha diversity indices were not significantly affected, beta diversity analysis demonstrated that supplementation frequency and delivery mode altered intestinal microbial community structure. The phyla Bacteroidota, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria predominated across treatments, while members of Marinilabiliaceae and Shewanellaceae were enriched under probiotic-associated conditions, suggesting enhanced nutrient transformation potential. Co-occurrence network analysis further revealed increased microbial network complexity and positive interactions in probiotic and biofloc treatments, indicating improved community stability. These findings demonstrate that the synergistic application of B. cereus and biofloc technology enhances growth performance, immune capacity, and intestinal microbial resilience in intensive shrimp culture, and that supplementation strategy plays a critical role in optimizing probiotic efficacy.
