Waterborne inoculation of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa modulates the biofloc microbial composition, nutrition, and growth of juvenile Penaeus vannamei in a zero-water exchange system

Key Points

• Juvenile penaeus vannamei showed significant growth enhancement after inoculation.
• Biofloc microbial composition shifted, leading to better nutrition for the shrimp.
• The study utilized a zero-water exchange system to maintain sustainable aquaculture practices.
• Findings suggest the potential for improving shrimp culture efficiency through microbial modulation.
