The quest for better food quality has invariably increased cases of food-borne infections which in turn contribute to the problem of antibiotic resistance as a result of drug abuse. This study is aimed at characterizing bacterial isolates from some seafood sold in Nembe, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. A total of 200 fresh seafood samples (crab, shrimp, oyster and periwinkle) were collected randomly from Nembe, Bayelsa State. Isolates were obtained using the conventional microbiological methods and the pure cultures were screened by gram staining and biochemical test for preliminary identification. Isolates were further characterized for 16SrRNA using Polymerase Chain Reaction and Sequencing. The most dominant species isolated were Staphylococcus gallinarum 27(22.5%), Vibrio rotiferanus 17(14.2%), Vibrio parahaemolyticus 48(40%), Klebsiella aerogenes 10(8.3%) and Klebsiella quasipneumoniae 18(15%). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) by single factor was done to determine the variation in colony counts of isolates from the different seafood samples and P value was > 0.05 indicating that there is no significant difference in colony counts among the different sea foods. The presence of these bacterial species in these seafood samples renders the food unsafe for consumption. Adequate handling as well as proper cooking of seafood before consumption is highly recommended so as to reduce the incidence of food-borne infections.
Freshwater and coastal aquaculture development can benefit from internal and external experience for preventing environmental damage and for avoiding harmful effects of degradation on aquaculture resources. Strategies to compensate for the loss of aquatic fauna (e.g. due to physical obstructions) are directly linked to important environmental issues, such as the transfer of exotic species, the spread of diseases and loss of genetic diversity, eutrophication, impairment of aesthetic qualities and the disruption of indigenous fish stocks.
There presently, conceptual frameworks for aquatic environment management backed by legal and administrative tools to create or enforce ration systems for water management, land use or fisheries and aquaculture development strengthened by adaptive institutionalization.
Aquaculture has a long history dating back to 2000 BC in China. While it provides important health benefits like protein and nutrients, it can also negatively impact public health through various contaminants. Key contaminants of concern from aquaculture include antibiotics, which contribute to antibiotic resistance, and persistent organic pollutants that accumulate up the food chain. Ensuring safe aquaculture practices through measures like proper hygiene, water quality management, and clean equipment is important to protect public health.

The document discusses ensuring global food safety and security through intensive research and practical applications to address issues like microbial contamination, chemical contamination from pesticides and fertilizers, and improper handling. It suggests using nanotechnology, organic farming, and education/training to achieve food safety, security, and sustainability goals. Specific issues discussed include microbial toxins, agrochemical residues, chemical changes during processing and packaging, and manual handling risks. Solutions proposed are use of silver nanoparticles as antimicrobials, nano-sensors for detection of spoilage, organic farming techniques like composting and vermicomposting, and biofertilizers to replace chemicals and stimulate growth. Proper training of all involved in the food system is also emphasized.
This document provides an overview of bioencapsulation of live food organisms with probiotics for better growth and survival of freshwater fish juveniles. It discusses how probiotics can be used to bioencapsulate (coat) live food organisms fed to fish in order to improve the nutritional status and health benefits provided to the fish. Probiotics are live microorganisms that when consumed in sufficient amounts can benefit the health of the host. Bioencapsulating live food with probiotics may help enhance the growth and survival of different fish species by modulating the immune system, competing with pathogens, and improving nutrient absorption from food. This technique represents a new approach for using probiotics in aquaculture to maximize fish production.
Biotechnology can play an important role in abating environmental pollution through various applications. Microorganisms and biological processes can be used for wastewater treatment, bioremediation of polluted soil and water, producing more sustainable alternatives to plastics, fuels and other materials, and reducing overall environmental pollution. Examples discussed include using enzymes for detergents, cultivating meat without animals, and producing flavors and cosmetic ingredients through fermentation rather than traditional extraction methods.
This document discusses the importance and potential of marine algal bioprospecting. It notes that marine algae are a unique and rich source of biodiversity that can help improve human life. Marine organisms have highly developed defense systems that allow them to survive in harsh conditions, and this has led to the evolution of many valuable natural compounds. The document outlines various compounds and products that have been obtained from micro and macro algae, including pigments, fatty acids, polysaccharides, and other chemicals with applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, foods, and biofuels. It also discusses methods for cultivating and analyzing algae to obtain these compounds, including 'omics technologies and genetic engineering approaches.
Microbiology is relevant to many areas of life. In agriculture, microorganisms play an important role in soil health and plant growth. They are involved in nutrient transformation and decomposition processes in the soil. In food microbiology, microbes are important for food production through fermentation, but can also contaminate foods and cause disease if proper safety practices are not followed. Pharmaceutical microbiology utilizes microbes to produce antibiotics, vaccines, and other drugs, while ensuring sterility during production. Astrobiology studies microbes in space as potential sources of oxygen, food, and waste processing for long term space missions.
The study was carried out to determine the effect of fungi contaminated feed on the growth and survival of catfish, Clarias gariepinus juveniles. This research was carried out for a period of twelve weeks. Forty catfish juveniles were stocked at a rate of twenty juveniles per plastic tank. Catfish juveniles in one tank were fed with moldy feed and the control was served with non -moldy feed and was observed for twelve weeks to determine and compare their growth and survival. Catfish juveniles fed with moldy feed had the highest mortality as well as slower growth as compared to the control fed with non-moldy feed. The survival rate of juveniles stocked was 55% and mortality rate was 45% and majority of mortality was from juveniles fed with moldy feed and majority of the survival rate was from juveniles fed with non-moldy feed. Some water quality parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH were also taken and no significant difference was observed. Moldy feed or feedstuff should not be used as this can cause great mortality and therefore loss to fish farmers.

Abstract
Aquaculture will continue to grow as the expected fish demand will increase inevitably with the
rising population. The reliance on aquaculture systems comes with responsibility of owners and
respective stakeholders to assure that the systems are using sustainable and environmentally
friendly mechanisms. This report discusses various ways to create a more sustainable and
environmentally friendly aquaculture system in terms of fishmeal alternatives, built-structure
types, and antibiotics and chemical usage to give recommendations to fish farm owners. The
report also touches on ethical practices in owning an aquaculture system. The most sustainable

method was found to be feed using microalgae and insects, structure type of pen and cage, and
phage therapy as an antibiotic treatment replacement.
1.0 Introduction: Background of Aquaculture Systems
1.1 Current Unsustainable Aquaculture Methodology
With the world’s increasing in population, fish and seafood in general has become widely relied
on as a source of protein, and this reliance will continue and grow. In 2030, it is expected that
150 to 160 million tons of fish will be consumed (“Global and regional food”, n.d.). Besides
fishing, aquaculture is a major method in which we obtain fish, and will continue to be to meet
the world demand of fish. Aquaculture is diverse in its methods, but the main idea is to create a
farm in a body of water to efficiently produce copious amounts of seafood like fish (freshwater
and saltwater), and shellfish. Many factors go into an aquaculture system to assure its success,
such as the feed type, the farm location, and the farm structure. Many may assume that
aquaculture would decrease pressure on fisheries because fish are being separately farmed for the
purpose of eating, however this is not the case. Currently “Around 85% of global fish stocks are
over-exploited, depleted, fully exploited or in recovery from exploitation” (Vince, 2012). This is
greatly concerning as it is known that the global population is only increasing, and therefore the
global demand for fish consumption will only increase as well..
Application Of Biotechnology And Allied Field.Glena A. Hamad
Biotechnology has wide applications across many fields including medicine, agriculture, and the environment. In medicine, it is used to produce insulin for diabetes treatment through recombinant DNA technology. Gene therapy holds promise for treating genetic diseases by inserting normal genes. Molecular diagnostics techniques allow for early disease detection. Pharmacogenomics produces drugs tailored to an individual's genetics. Edible vaccines grown in plants can provide low-cost disease prevention. Biotechnology also enhances agriculture through increasing crop yields, improving nutrient profiles, developing disease-resistant varieties, and sustaining aquaculture. It has significant potential to contribute to doubling farmers' incomes and meeting the world's growing food demand in a sustainable manner.
This document discusses bioremediation as a method for cleaning up environmental contamination. It begins by outlining some of the major types of hazardous materials released into the environment through human activities, such as heavy metals, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and nuclear waste. It then defines bioremediation as using living organisms like bacteria and fungi to degrade hazardous materials. The document discusses the requirements for effective bioremediation, including microorganisms, nutrients, moisture, and temperature. It outlines the main types of bioremediation approaches - in situ and ex situ - and specific techniques within each like bioventing, landfarming, and bioreactors. Finally, it discusses some advantages and limitations of bioremediation
Antibiotic resistance in Vibrio species is of critical importance. This study evaluates the antibiotic resistance of Vibrio species present in farmed shrimp. Shrimp samples were obtained from an aquaculture farm. The tissues of Shrimp were examined and a total of 29 Vibrio isolates were identified. Through the biochemical test, the Vibrio isolates were identified as V. alginolyticus, V. cholerae, V. furnissii, V. mimicus, V.parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus. The Vibrio species were tested for their resistance to eighteen antibiotics that are frequently present in the aquatic environment. Out of the total isolates, 6 were selected as dominant species for antibiotic susceptibility test. In the present study, Vibrio cholerae isolated from fresh shrimp showed antimicrobial resistance against seven antibiotics, V.vulnificus isolated from shrimp showed antimicrobial resistance against ten antibiotics and this was the only isolate to show maximum resistance against the selected antibiotics. V.mimicus and V.alginolyticus isolated from shrimp showed antimicrobial resistance to against seven different antibiotics. V.parahaemolyticus isolated from shrimp showed antimicrobial resistance against eight antibiotics whereas V.furnissii isolated from shrimp showed antimicrobial resistance against six antibiotics. In general, all samples showed an increased level of antibiotic resistance due to improper
Biotechnology is the use of living organisms to develop products. It has been used for thousands of years in processes like brewing and baking. Modern biotechnology uses techniques like genetic engineering and cell culture. The term was coined in 1919. Biotechnology is divided into types including microbial, agricultural, animal, forensic, bioremediation, aquatic, and medical biotechnology. Medical biotechnology researches and produces pharmaceuticals and diagnostics to treat and prevent disease.

over-exploited, depleted, fully exploited or in recovery from exploitation” (Vince, 2012). This is
greatly concerning as it is known that the global population is only increasing, and therefore the
global demand for fish consumption will only increase as well..
Application Of Biotechnology And Allied Field.Glena A. Hamad
Biotechnology has wide applications across many fields including medicine, agriculture, and the environment. In medicine, it is used to produce insulin for diabetes treatment through recombinant DNA technology. Gene therapy holds promise for treating genetic diseases by inserting normal genes. Molecular diagnostics techniques allow for early disease detection. Pharmacogenomics produces drugs tailored to an individual's genetics. Edible vaccines grown in plants can provide low-cost disease prevention. Biotechnology also enhances agriculture through increasing crop yields, improving nutrient profiles, developing disease-resistant varieties, and sustaining aquaculture. It has significant potential to contribute to doubling farmers' incomes and meeting the world's growing food demand in a sustainable manner.
This document discusses bioremediation as a method for cleaning up environmental contamination. It begins by outlining some of the major types of hazardous materials released into the environment through human activities, such as heavy metals, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and nuclear waste. It then defines bioremediation as using living organisms like bacteria and fungi to degrade hazardous materials. The document discusses the requirements for effective bioremediation, including microorganisms, nutrients, moisture, and temperature. It outlines the main types of bioremediation approaches - in situ and ex situ - and specific techniques within each like bioventing, landfarming, and bioreactors. Finally, it discusses some advantages and limitations of bioremediation
Antibiotic resistance in Vibrio species is of critical importance. This study evaluates the antibiotic resistance of Vibrio species present in farmed shrimp. Shrimp samples were obtained from an aquaculture farm. The tissues of Shrimp were examined and a total of 29 Vibrio isolates were identified. Through the biochemical test, the Vibrio isolates were identified as V. alginolyticus, V. cholerae, V. furnissii, V. mimicus, V.parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus. The Vibrio species were tested for their resistance to eighteen antibiotics that are frequently present in the aquatic environment. Out of the total isolates, 6 were selected as dominant species for antibiotic susceptibility test. In the present study, Vibrio cholerae isolated from fresh shrimp showed antimicrobial resistance against seven antibiotics, V.vulnificus isolated from shrimp showed antimicrobial resistance against ten antibiotics and this was the only isolate to show maximum resistance against the selected antibiotics. V.mimicus and V.alginolyticus isolated from shrimp showed antimicrobial resistance to against seven different antibiotics. V.parahaemolyticus isolated from shrimp showed antimicrobial resistance against eight antibiotics whereas V.furnissii isolated from shrimp showed antimicrobial resistance against six antibiotics. In general, all samples showed an increased level of antibiotic resistance due to improper
Biotechnology is the use of living organisms to develop products. It has been used for thousands of years in processes like brewing and baking. Modern biotechnology uses techniques like genetic engineering and cell culture. The term was coined in 1919. Biotechnology is divided into types including microbial, agricultural, animal, forensic, bioremediation, aquatic, and medical biotechnology. Medical biotechnology researches and produces pharmaceuticals and diagnostics to treat and prevent disease.
