Freezing point depression due to high salt concentration is crucial for liquid water to exist on cold worlds, expanding special regions where habitats are plausible. Determination of the growth tolerances of terrestrial microbes in analog systems impacts planetary protection protocols aimed at preventing interference with life detection missions or potential native ecosystems on celestial bodies. We measured the salinity toler...

Seabass farmers suffer from a long-lasting production period of at least 18 months, causing a long-term gap in financial income and payback. This study investigated the integration of Litopenaeus vannamei with Dicentrarchus labrax aquaculture allowing seabass farmers to earn a consistent income 2–3 times a year. Six treatments (seabass alone “control group,” seabass with 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 shrimp in the fish tanks) were tes...
