Pontastacus leptodactylus is a freshwater crayfish native to the Ponto‐Caspian region, with a distribution across Eastern Europe and Western Asia. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the biology, culture development, and prospects for sustainable aquaculture of P. leptodactylus . Commercial exploitation of P. leptodactylus has a long history in Western Europe and the Ponto‐Caspian region and has relied primarily on ca...

Crustaceans are often exposed to hypoxic stress in intensive aquaculture systems. Such stress leads to physiological, behavioural and biochemical changes, which can cause various metabolic disorders or even death. Crustacean response mechanisms to hypoxia stress are known to be complex, with their regulation involving multiple genes. In this review, after briefly exploring some known causes of hypoxic stress in aquaculture sys...

The Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is a euryhaline species with optimal salinity of 20–25 practical salinity unit (psu) for growth and survival, but has been cultured in inland water with salinity DHA and EPA from LNA at low ambient salinity, but further studies are needed to further confirm this finding. Future research should focus on the understanding of physiological mechanism and adaptation associated with sali...

Distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS), a dried residue that remains after the fermentation of grain mash by selected yeasts and enzymes to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide, is currently readily available and less expensive than other conventional protein sources on a per unit protein basis. The nutrient content and nutritional value of DDGS varies with the source and quality of the grains, fermentation time and effic...
