Introduction Microbial communities are key indicators of ecosystem health in aquaculture, yet their temporal dynamics under different cultivation systems remain poorly characterized. This study compares prokaryotic community succession across three commercial Litopenaeus vannamei cultivation systems with contrasting pond construction, salinity, and water-exchange intensity. Methods We collected 85 water samples from five sub-p...

Chemokines are essential for vertebrate immune regulation, and teleosts possess diverse CXCL8 lineages. However, studies on CXCL8 in C. auratus remain limited. In the present study, four CXCL8 homologues ( CaCXCL8‐1 to ‐4 ) were successfully cloned and identified from C. auratus , and their expression patterns were analysed in the tissues of healthy and those naturally infected with H. doneci . Bioinformatic analyses revealed...
