The accumulation of organic matter in shrimp farm sediments can negatively impact water quality and Litopenaeus vannamei production. This study evaluated the ability of Saccharomyces boulardii and Bacillus spp. to degrade ...

The research analyzed the incidence of initial weight and seeding density on the growth and survival of Litopenaeus vannamei, with the objective of optimizing production in aquaculture systems. It was carried out in the ...

The intensification of aquaculture production generates sediments accumulation, that represent a serious problem for this sector. For this reason, the objective of this experimental work was to evaluate the effect of a ...

The use of nutritional additives in the culture of aquatic organisms is essential to help in the growth and health of the animals. The objective of the present study was to evaluate a balanced diet with the addition of ...

This study evaluated the genotoxicity of contaminated water from the Siete River using the micronucleus test in juvenile Oreochromis niloticus. The effects of different dilutions of contaminated water (0%, 10%, 25%, 50%, ...

Population growth and activities associated with urban and industrial development in coastal areas have increased pollution levels in marine ecosystems. The objective of this study is to determine the concentration of total ...

This study aimed to isolate and identify Bacillus strains from mangrove sediments in Puerto Hualtaco, Ecuador, to evaluate their potential in aquaculture applications, as well as to analyze the microbial communities present. ...

Fish farming, especially the reproduction of endemic species, faces technological challenges due to the scarcity of information on their optimal nutritional requirements. Therefore, the present study was carried out to ...

Fish farming is threatened by bacterial diseases, which has increased the importance of looking for natural alternatives for the formulation of aquaculture diets. Fermentation allows improving the nutritional quality of ...

The cultivation of Litopenaeus vannamei in Ecuador began in the province of El Oro and is identified as one of the most important non-oil export products, making it one of the most relevant activities in the country's ...
