Reintroduction training is instrumental in restoring the oral microbiota of giant pandas from “captivity” to “wildness” by Rui Ma, Xiang Yu, Chong Huang, Fei Xue, Rong Hou, Wei Wu, Feifei Feng, Wenlei Bi, Long Zhang, Jiabin Liu, Zusheng Li, Jiang Gu, Yanshan Zhou, Guanwei Lan, Chao Chen, Ying Yao, Jingchao Lan, Li Luo, Ping Li, Hui He, Mei Zhang, Xi Yang, Hong Yang, Haijun Gu, Xiaodong Gu, Limin Chen, Dunwu Qi

“…Functionally, these shifts correlated with decreased starch and sucrose, fructose and mannose, and various lipid metabolism pathways, alongside enhanced methane and galactose metabolism which align with the dietary constraints of a singular food source in the wild environment. Our study demonstrates that pre-release training drives oral microbiota convergence toward wild phenotypes, underscoring microbial adaptation as critical for successful captive-to-wild transitions in endangered species.…”

Biofloc Technology (BFT) in Aquaculture: What Goes Right, What Goes Wrong? A Scientific-Based Snapshot by Mohammad Hossein Khanjani, Moslem Sharifinia, Maurício Gustavo Coelho Emerenciano

“…Despite its numerous advantages, BFT presents several challenges, such as high energy demand, high initial/running costs, waste (effluent, suspended solids, and sludge) management, opportunistic pathogens (vibrio) spread, and a lack of understanding of operational/aquatic/microbial dynamics. However, with further training, research, and innovation, these challenges can be overcome, and BFT can become a more widely understood and adopted technique, acting as an effective method for sustainable aquaculture. …”
