Mariculture tailwater requires treatment technologies that can operate under saline, low-strength conditions. This study evaluated a deep-bed filter inoculated with the salt-tolerant yeast Meyerozyma guilliermondii. The system was operated for 20 days to quantify removal of total nitrogen (TN), inorganic nitrogen (IN), and the permanganate index (CODMn).,Average removal efficiencies were 34.0% for TN, 30.0% for IN, and 34.9% for CODMn. Mean effluent concentrations were 4.05 mg/L TN, 2.73 mg/L IN, and 9.7 mg/L CODMn. The tested filter therefore achieved the study targets under the evaluated influent and operating conditions. Correlation analysis associated TN removal mainly with organic nitrogen removal, whereas nitrate and nitrite were the principal inorganic nitrogen species removed.,Because this study did not include an uninoculated control or direct measurements of yeast abundance, the observed performance cannot be attributed exclusively to M. guilliermondii. The results provide an operational assessment of the inoculated deep-bed filter and identify the need for controlled microbial validation in future work.
To investigate the relationship between fishery resources community structure (mainly fish and crustaceans) and environmental factors in the artificial reef waters off Nanri Island, surveys were conducted in November 2021, 2022, and 2023. Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H '), Margalef richness index (D), Pielou evenness index (J '), and resource density index (RD) were employed to characterize the community structure. From 2021 to 2023, DO and petroleum hydrocarbons exhibited significant interannual variation (p < 0.05), whereas DIP, DIN, and SS showed highly significant interannual variation (p < 0.01). Spatially, DO, COD, DIN, and petroleum hydrocarbons varied more than other factors. Both diversity and richness indices rose over the study period, with mean H ' rising from 1.693 to 1.942 and mean D from 2.107 to 2.474. The evenness index (J ') declined in 2022 but then increased to 0.787. In contrast, the resource density index (RD) dropped sharply in 2022 (107.2) and partially recovered in 2023 (155.4), though it remained below the 2021 level (218.5). Redundancy analysis revealed that five environmental variables (DIP, DIN, petroleum hydrocarbons, SS, and DO) primarily shaped the fishery resource community structure in the artificial reef area. This study provided reference data for artificial reef management and sustainable fishery development.
Aquaculture expansion to meet global protein demand has intensified concerns over nutrient pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. While floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) are proven for water quality improvement, their potential to mitigate GHG emissions in marine aquaculture remains poorly understood. This study quantitatively evaluated the dual capacity of Sesuvium portulacastrum FTWs to (a) regulate dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and (b) reduce CO2/N2O emissions in grouper aquaculture systems. DIN speciation (NH4+, NO2−, NO3−) and CO2/N2O fluxes of six controlled ponds (three FTW and three control) were monitored for 44 days. DIN in the FTW group was approximately 90 μmol/L lower than that in the control group, and the water in the plant group was more “oxidative” than that in the control group. The former groups were dominated by NO3−, with lower dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and N2O concentrations, whereas the latter were dominated by NH4+ during the first 20 days of the experiment and by NO2− at the end of the experiment, with higher DIC and N2O concentrations on average. Higher primary production may be the reason that the DIC concentration was lower in the plant group than in the control group, whereas efficient nitrification and uptake by plants reduced the availability of NH4+ in the plant group, thereby reducing the production of N2O. A comparison of the CO2 and N2O flux potentials in the plant group and control group revealed that, in the presence of FTWs, the CO2 and N2O emissions decreased by 14% and 36%, respectively. This showed that S. portulacastrum FTWs effectively couple DIN removal with GHG mitigation, offering a nature-based solution for sustainable aquaculture. Their low biomass requirement enhances practical scalability.
Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly, primarily through the recycling of nutrients. However, identifying feasible combinations that achieve favorable economic and environmental performance in a win-win mariculture system can be challenging. A novel aquaponic mariculture system was established by combining sea purslane (Sesuvium portulacastrum) with hybrid grouper (Epinephelus sp.), and its performance was assessed. Triplicate experimental fish ponds assembled with floating plant beds of sea purslane (SP group) were compared with the control (without phytotreatment, CK group) over a 56-day experimental period. The changes in major pollutants in the system and the growth performance of the plants and groupers were analyzed. The results showed that the removal rates of pollutants in the sea purslane aquaponic system were 98.1 %, 97.5 %, 89.9 % and 50.6 % for total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), nitrite nitrogen, total suspended solids (TSS) and chemical oxygen demand (COD), respectively. Furthermore, the removal rates of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) were 19.6 %, 12.0 %, 18.4 % and 16.2 %, respectively, in the SP group. With respect to growth performance, the specific growth rate (SGR) of groupers in the SP group increased by 43 % compared with that in the CK group. Grouper growth in the SP group showed strong negative allometric growth, whereas isometric growth was observed in the CK group. The net growth of sea purslane increased by 4.32 +/- 1.64 kg/m2, with a relative growth rate of 0.90 +/- 0.28 %/d, showing considerable incorporation of carbon via photosynthesis. Moreover, the sea purslane-grouper aquaponics system can be maintained at a low cost and is easily managed. In conclusion, the potential of this innovative marine aquaponic system was demonstrated, and the findings will contribute to enhancing the performance of environmentally friendly mariculture techniques in the future.
Constructed wetlands represent an eco-friendly approach for mariculture wastewater treatment, yet the mechanistic role of substrates, particularly their "biological influence" under high-salinity conditions (i.e., shaping and modulating functional microbial communities) remains poorly understood. To address this gap, horizontal flow simulated wetlands were established using Sesuvium portulacastrum L. combined with bay mud (BM), fine sand (FS), oyster shells (OS), volcanic rock (VR), and composite substrate (CS) to treat Epinephelus spp. breeding tailwater. Results demonstrated that the metabolic pathways of functional species rarely varied across habitats in the CWs, however, the functional bacterial community structure of the rhizosphere which,mainly contribute to the cycling of nitrogen, phosphorus and organic matters was significantly shaped by the characteristics of substrates. For example, substrates FS and VR demonstrated the highest COD removal efficiencies but poorly supported the growth of Sesuvium portulacastrum L. root systems, as well as the rhizosphere functional bacterial community structure. In contrast, the large voidage of OS resulted in lower removal efficiency (e.g., 45.6 % of COD removal), however, OS was suggested to favor the growth of plant roots, promoting the enrichment of keys functional species-Flavobacteriaceae, and "amino acid metabolism" and "energy metabolism" genes in both rhizosphere and water column, realizing the synergistic bacterial cooperation between aquatic and root niches for nutrient removal. Under high-salinity conditions, substrates with higher porosity were supposed to mainly regulate the accumulation of aerobic functional genera in the substrate and water column, while, substrates that could provide enough growth space for the root system prefer to exhibit optimal "biological role" in shaping functional flora in the CWs. This study provides critical insights into substrate-driven microbial selection in high-salinity wetlands, facilitating informed substrate design for enhanced pollutant remediation.
This study aims to address the suboptimal performance of conventional denitrifying strains in treating mariculture tail water (MTW) containing inorganic nitrogen (IN). The concentration of inorganic nitrogen in the mariculture tail water is about 5-20 mg center dot L -1 . A biofilm treatment process was developed and evaluated using an anoxic -anoxic -aerobic biofilter composite system inoculated with the denitrifying strain Meyerozyma guilliermondii Y8. The removal effect of total nitrogen (TN), IN, and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD M n ) from MTW was investigated. The results indicate that the A 2 O composite biological filter has excellent pollutant removal efficiency within 25 days of operation, after the acclimation of the denitrifying microorganisms. The initial concentrations of TN, IN, and COD Mn ranged between 10.24 and 12.89 mg center dot L -1 , 7.84-10.49 mg center dot L -1 , and 9.44-11.52 mg center dot L -1 , respectively, and the removal rates of these indexes reached 38-68 %, 45-70 %, and 55-70 %, respectively. The experiments with different hydraulic retention times (HRT = 6 h, 8 h, 10 h) demonstrated that longer HRT was more conducive to the removal of inorganic nitrogen. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy observations revealed that the target strain successfully grew and attached to the filler in large quantities. The findings of this study provide practical guidance for the development of efficient biofilm processes for the treatment of MTW.
Sesuvium portulacastrum floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) are effective at removing nitrogen and phosphorus, adsorbing heavy metals, and removing organic pollutants from aquaculture wastewater, and thus improve fish farming productivity. In this study, an S. portulacastrum FTW was used in a simulated grouper aquaculture experiment for 40 days. The FTW removed 1~3 mg/L of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) throughout the experimental period as well as the following toxic nitrogen species: 88% NO2−-N in the middle stage and 90% TAN (total ammonia nitrogen) in the middle stage. The health of the groupers was promoted and the weight of each grouper was 8% higher than those in the control group in the end. Compared with that of the control group, the carbon sequestration of the aquaculture ecosystem was also increased by S. portulacastrum FTW because more carbon was held in the biomass, including through the growth of the plant mass of the FTW, 109 g C/pond, and a reduction in fishing catch losses, 442 g C/pond. Therefore, S. portulacastrum FTW can serve as a potential technology for improving the water environment quality of feeding ponds and contributing to carbon sequestration in aquaculture systems.
Cage farming is an important means of aquacultural production, while its potential environmental pollution needs to be further investigated. In this study, Dongshan Bay was taken as an example to investigate whether long-term cage farming in a semi-closed bay would cause environmental pollution via vertical distribution assessment. The four sediment cores (YB1, YB2, B1, and B2) were collected from two cage farming areas. Total nitrogen (TN), total organic carbon (TOC), and total phosphorus (TP) were measured. The results showed a negative correlation between TN and TOC and the sediment depth at four sampling sites, and TP was also negatively correlated with the depth at three sites. The average TN (1,405.8, 1,413.8, 1,115.7, and 936.1 mgkg −1 ) and TP (1,206, 1,141.6, 1,064.6, and 932.8 mgkg −1 ) values of the four sites were markedly higher than the safety level, with the indexes S TN , S TP , FF , and ON of the four sites indicating moderate to severe pollution of nitrogen and phosphorus. Particularly, the YB1 and YB2 sites in the area with lower current speed have more severe pollution. The C/N ratio uncovered that the organic matter (OM) might mainly derived from the phytoplankton and nonfibrous plants as a result of excessive fish feed and feces. Collectively, the results indicated that long-term (more than 10 years) cage farming activity in a semi-closed bay such as Dongshan Bay had a negative impact on the environmental quality. Despite limitations in sample size and the absence of stable isotopic analyses, this study enhances our understanding of environmental changes and endogenous pollution risks in shallow marine aquaculture areas. Moreover, it suggests practical approaches such as implementing alternative farming and fallowing periods, should be conducted to mitigate the pollution.

The detection of volatile phenol in sea water was optimized by continuous flow analyzer method.The results of this study could provide scientific basis for the determination of volatile phenol in sea water for scientific and technical personnel of testing agencies,and provide a scientific basis for the standardization of this method.The experimental results showed that this method had high precision and accuracy in the linear range of 0~0.100 mg/L,the minimum detection limit was 0.002 mg/L.The range of relative standard deviation was 2.21%~4.65%,which were all less than 5%(standard requirement).There was no significant difference between continuous flow analysis method and classical method.The method was fast,simple and environmental protection,and it would be worth to further study and application.
In order to study the toxic effect of deltamethrin on the hepatopancreas of Pagrosomus major with sub-acute exposure, Pagrosomus major were divided into 5 groups with different doses of semi-static exposure. The damage of the hepatopancreas tissue of Pagrosomus major was analyzed by microscopy observation and the DNA damage of the cells was analyzed by comet assay technique after 25 days exposure. The results showed that different degrees of congestion, nuclear enrichment and cell necrosis appeared in hepatopancreas of 0.025, 0.125, 0.250, 0.375 Μg·L-1 exposure concentrations. The higher the exposure concentration, the variations of tissue and cell were more significant. DNA damages in the hepatopancreas cells of all exposed group were observed. The co-met rate, percentage of tail DNA and the olive moment were significantly different from the control group (P<0.05). Linear regression analysis showed that the exposure concentration was significantly positively correlated with the tailing rate and the tail length (P<0.01). The indexes were significantly related to the concentration of deltamethrin exposure with the coefficient of determination between 0.909-0.996. It was suggested that deltamethrin could cause various degree of damage to the tissue and cellular DNAs in the hepatopancreas of Pagrosomus major in a linear responsive manner.
The acute toxicity and bioaccumulation of deltamethrin was studied in four species of mariculture organisms including the crustaceans Portunus pelagicus and Marsupenaeus japonicus, and the bivalve Meretrix meretrix and Ruditapes philippinarum. The results indicated that there were significant positive correlations between the mortality rate of the mariculture organisms and the concentration and exposure time of deltamethrin. The LC50values at 24 h, 48 h and 96 h for the crustacean P.pelagicus were 2.07×10-4, 1.70×10-4and 1.10×10-4mg/L respectively, and the values for M.japonicas were 7.32×10-4, 3.90×10-4and 1.43×10-4mg/L. The safe concentrations for these two species were 3.44×10-5mg/L and 3.32×10-5mg/L respectively. The LC50values at the 3 time points for the bivalves M.meretrix were 1.52,0.30 and 0.27 mg/L respectively,and for R.philippinarum they were 0.67, 0.11 and 0.06 mg/L respectively. The safe concentrations for these two species were 3.51× 10-3mg/L and 9.50×10-4mg/L respectively. Obviously the two crustacean species were more sensitive to deltamethrin than the bivalves.Next,the bivalves M.meretrix and R.philippinarum were exposed to the seawater containing deltamethrin at average concentrations of 0.86–0.05 mg/L and 0.37–0.03 mg/L respectively for 24–96 h, and we found that the accumulation coefficients of deltamethrin in these two species were 2.57–12.40 and 3.03–27.85 respectively. The accumulation rate of deltamethrin in the two bivalve species was positively corelated with the exposure time of deltamethrin, but negatively correlated with the concentration of deltamethrin. There were significant differences in sensitivity and accumulation rate of deltamethrin between different species of marine aquaculture organisms.
