Effects of peanut shells serving as a carbon source and microbial carrier on bacterial community structure in Penaeus vannamei culture water

Pengsheng Dong
Intensive shrimp aquaculture systems often suffer from water quality deterioration and disease outbreaks. Biofloc technology is one of the sustainable management strategies for shrimp culture, while the choice of organic carbon source critically influences microbial community dynamics. This study investigated the effects of peanut shells (an abundant agricultural by-product) on the bacterial community in shrimp rearing water in Penaeus vannamei culture systems. Over a 28-day controlled experimen
