Wastewater from aquaculture has attracted wide attention as one of the sources of agricultural non-point source pollution, and the management of aquaculture wastewater has become a current research hotspot. In order to understand the mechanism of aquaculture wastewater purification and enhance the purification technology efficiency, this paper introduces the current status, hazards, and related control policies of aquaculture pollution in China, and reviews the aquaculture wastewater purification technologies developed in the past two decades. Finally, the research direction of aquaculture wastewater is discussed to put forward the possibility of strengthening the sedimentation unit, and using new materials and microorganisms to intensify the purification system.

To provide scientific reference for illuminating the pollution status of aquaculture in China, based on the existed pollution discharging coefficients and breeding yield of 2014, we calculated and analyzed the total discharge amount of major aquacultural pollutants.Due to the lack of correlation data, this paper chooses the year of 2014 as the year of measurement. The results showed that the main pollution discharge amount of total nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), total phosphorus, chemical oxygen demand (COD), copper and zinc in aquaculture in 2014 was 68.342 × 104, 16.660 × 104, 13.769 × 104, 164.154 × 104, 253.746 and 729.842 t, respectively. COD and NH3- N accounted for about 7% of the total wastewater amount in China.. Due to differences in yield, breeding way and variety, pollutant discharge amount from freshwater aquaculture was much higher than that of marine aquaculture. In addition, to promote the sustainable development of aquaculture in China, we put forward suggestions such as controlling freshwater aquaculture production, adjusting breeding way, developing healthy and ecological breeding technology and promoting research on related systems.

The traditional aquaculture pattern can easily cause water pollution and waste of water resources. In order to reach the goal of healthy aquaculture, pond recirculating aquaculture system (PRAS) takes measures to purify water by using power flow purification and bioremediation techniques under the guidance of circular economy, such as establishing artificial wetland to form a sustainable development model. In this study, we summarized the construction of the three main models of PRAS and their effects on water purification, and analyzed the main problems in the operation of the system. The existing studies showed that the average removal rates of TN, TP, NH4+-N, CODMn, and NO2--N were basically maintained at 60%. Besides, we analyzed the factors such as the ratio of purification area to pond area as well as the effects of the substrate, plant, pH and temperature in the purification unit. This study can provide a reference for further in-depth research on PRAS.

To investigate the status and pollution situation of livestock and poultry breeding industry in Yiwu City and put forward the corresponding measures, annual total excrement from main livestock/poultry and nitrogen, phosphorus content in which were evaluated based on the agricultural pollution census data and poultry waste emission coefficient in urine. The study showed that, gross livestock/poultry excrement in 2007 comprises of 16.6×104 tons of feces and 48.5×104 tons of urine. The total livestock/poultry excrement contained 0.18×104 tons total N, 348.59 tons total P, 3.16×104 tons COD, 1.10×104 tons Cu, and 2.07×104 tons Zn. Among the main livestock/poultry, pigs excreted the highest amount of feces, accounting for 78.3% of the total excrement; the livestock/poultry urine was also produced by pigs, accounting for 99.8%. The highest amount of livestock/poultry excrement came from Yiting town, accounting for 39.4%.

The growth characteristics of Pseudorasbora parva cultured artificially were analyzed, in order to provide scientific basis for promoting culture of P. parva. P. parva were cultured artificially in the outdoor flowing water ponds from March 2016 to November 2016. The body weight, body length and total length were measured, respectively. Then the growth characteristics of P. parva were analyzed. The 180 days old fish had average total length of 3.96 cm, average body length of 3.23 cm and average body weight of 0.49 g. The special growth rate, daily weight gain and condition factor were affected by the change of water temperature significantly. The linear relation model between body length（LB）and total length（LT）was described as LT=1.0589LB 0.767,（R2=0.8628）, and the curve relation model between body length（LB） and body weight （W）of the P. parva was expressed as W=0.0466LB2.1623（R2=0.8306）. The coefficient variation was changed from 6% to 14% in body length, from 20% to 41% in body weight and changed from 1.45 to 5.31 in condition factor. P. parva shows strong adaptability under artificial culture condition, thus it indicated that P. parva should be cultured artificially on a large scale.

Animal welfare in livestock husbandry influenced quality and safety of animal-derived food and then did people’s health. The development of animal welfare in China was lagging behind that in western developed countries in many aspects such as people’s attitude toward animal welfare, legislation, scientific research, education and production practices, which were related to the development level of livestock husbandry and also to national conditions related at present in China. In recent years, with consumers’ attention to quality and safety of livestock products, the government, academia and enterprises have begun to value animal welfare in livestock breeding. The healthy breeding guided by the concept of animal welfare would develop rapidly and the sound welfare labeling mechanism and legal norms would be established to guide people to pay close attention to animal welfare.

To gain an in-depth understanding of the residue characteristics and risk assessment of mercury in the pond culture environment of Eriocheir sinensis, a total of 14 samples of water bodies and sediment from 7 Eriocheir sinensis aquaculture ponds were collected in Wuxi of Jiangsu. The residue levels of mercury in different forms were analyzed by liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LC-ICP-MS), and the risk of mercury residues was assessed by the single-factor method. The results showed that the mercury content in water bodies ranged from ND (not detected) to 18.20 μg/L, mainly inorganic mercury (Hg²⁺), and other forms included methylmercury (MeHg) and ethylmercury (EtHg). The mercury content in sediment environment ranged from 0.01 to 0.022 μg/g, in which the content of inorganic mercury decreased and the content of methyl mercury increased. Compared with NYT 5361-2016 Environmental Conditions of Pollution-Free Agricultural Products - Freshwater Aquaculture Origin, it was found that the mercury content in the water body exceeded the standard in 5 samples, and the exceeding rate was 71.43%; the mercury content in the sediment environment exceeded the standard in 1 sample, and the exceeding rate was 14.29%. Further research on the ecological risk of water inorganic mercury residues to Eriocheir sinensis showed that the risk quotient ranged from 0 to 0.05, far below 1, indicating that the mercury residues in the water body did not affect the safe growth of Eriocheir sinensis. The detection of heavy metal mercury in aquaculture water is of great significance to the healthy growth of Eriocheir sinensis and food safety.

We adopted ArcGIS 10.0 to divide the climatic suitability zoning of lobster cultivation in Xuyi. The results show that the suitable areas mainly distribute in north Xuyi, and the relatively suitable areas mainly locate in hilly areas in the southeast, and the unsuitable areas locate in the low hilly area in the southwest. The study could provide references for planning layout of lobster farming in Xuyi County.

Based on InCites database, this paper systematically analyzed the development of veterinary sciences of China Agricultural University, Huazhong Agricultural University, South China Agricultural University, and Yangzhou University during the period of 2008 to 2018. Moreover, the discipline competitiveness was evaluated by comparing with that of the University of California Davis, University of London Royal Veterinary College, and Ghent University. The results show that veterinary sciences of the four Chinese universities have developed well in recent years, with increased output of academic papers. However, there is still a big gap between domestic and foreign universities in terms of the quantity of papers, citation frequency, cites per document, highly cited papers, and H- index. Therefore, it is suggested that domesticniversities should strengthen academic team building and pay more attention to talent cultivation and introduction to increase the output of academic papers, promote the connotative development of veterinary sciences to improve the quality of papers, and strengthen international exchanges and cooperation to enhance the academic influence and innovation ability.

This study aims to investigate the differences of biological indexes and meat nutrients of Cyprinus carpio from earth pond reared mode and rice field reared mode (earth pond reared is defined as ER and rice field reared as RR, respectively). Three ER and three RR carps (approximately 800 g) were collected to measure and compare the biological indexes. In addition, the contents of conventional nutrients, amino acids and fatty acids of meat were analyzed and compared between ER and RR. The results showed that the condition factor and meat yield of ER were significantly higher than those of RR, while higher caudal peduncle length/caudal peduncle depth ratio was recorded in RR. Higher contents of crude fat, crude protein, ash, total essential amino acids, total nonessential amino acids, total amino acids and total monounsaturated fatty acids, and the essential amino acid score of meat were detected in ER, while significantly higher contents of total polyunsaturated fatty acids, ∑n-6 PUFA, and total highly unsaturated fatty acids were recorded in RR. In conclusion, the RR has slender body, lower meat yield and lower conventional nutrient contents; the meat amino acids contents of ER are higher than that of RR, while the meat fatty acids composition of carps of the two modes has their own advantages, respectively.

To investigate the microbial communities’ structure of water and intestine of black sea bream (Acanthopagrus schlegelii) reared in in-pond raceway culture system (IP) and pond (EP), intestines and culture water were selected as research objects. Using high-throughput sequencing technology, the structure and function of bacterial communities under the two different culture modes were compared and analyzed. The results show that the microbial communities are mainly composed of Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Cyanobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Chloroflexi, and the sum of their abundance is 98.32%-99.22%. At genus level, bacteria are significantly different. Furthermore, the main increased species in IP mode were Ruegeria (14.84%) Synechococcus (14.24%), Marivita (3.58%), norank_o__PeM15 (2.97%) and norank_C__KD4-96 (2.56%)(P<0.05) (IP > EP). However, the main bacteria in EP model are Enterobacter (10.31%), Mycobacterium (10.30%), Romboutsia (7.37%), Enterococcus (6.29%) and Lactococcus (5.38%) (P<0.05) (IP < EP). The bacterial community in intestine has high richness and diversity, IP mode is significantly higher than that in EP mode (P<0.05), but there is no significant difference between fish intestines (P>0.05). There are differences in the structure and function of the flora under the two culture modes, and there are a large proportion of bacterial communities with significant differences in relative abundance. Most of the dominant bacteria with significant differences are beneficial bacteria in the intestine of black sea bream in IP mode, while in the EP mode, the bacteria are mostly chronic or conditional pathogens.

The preliminary study showed that the integrated mode for water quality control, named as “5% water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica Forsk.) + 10% filler + algae splashing (Chlorella pyrenoidose)” is worth popularizing. To further verify the effect, the purification effect of different water spinach planting ratios on nitrogen and phosphorus in pond water was studied. Water quality indexes, such as TN (total nitrogen), NH₃-N (ammonia nitrogen), TP (total phosphorus), COD_Mn (permanganate), TSS (total suspended solid), pH and DO (dissolved oxygen), were determined by setting the planting proportion of 5%, 8% and 10% of water spinach, the environmental and economic benefits were also evaluated. The results showed that the TN, NH₃-N, TP, COD_Mn and TSS in tilapia pond were reduced to a certain extent by the cultivation of water spinach. The removal rates of TN and TP were 10%-15% and 20%-40% respectively. The 5% water spinach planting group also had the good removal effect on NH₃-N and COD_Mn, and the economic benefit of this mode was good, which was suitable for application.

Two experiments (Experiment I and II) were established to evaluate the effects of water depth and culture net on survival and growth of pearl oyster Pinctada maxima from June 2010 to June 2011, with an aim to improve growth traits of the stocks. Four groups were set in Experiment I: HA, 3 m; HB, 6 m; HC, 9 m; and HD, 12 m. Three groups were set in Experiment II: BN, box net; CN, cone net; and LN, cylinder net. At days 90, 180, 270, 360, survival and growth of the groups in Experiment I and II were compared. In Experiment I, there were insignificant differences in survival rate among the four groups at days 90, 180, 270 (P>0.05). At days 360, the survival rate among the four groups differed significantly (P<0.05). The HD group had the largest survival rate at days 90, 180, 270 and 360. Insignificant differences in mean shell height and total weight among the four groups were observed (P>0.05). In Experiment II, survival rate among the BN, CN and LN groups were insignificant at days 90 and 180 (P>0.05). At days 270 and 360, however, the difference in survival rate among the three groups was significant (P<0.05). The LN group had the largest survival rate at days 90, 180, 270 and 360. At days 90, 180 and 270, mean shell height and total weight differed insignificantly among the three groups (P>0.05). Differences in mean shell height and total weight were significant (P<0.05). The LN group displayed the largest mean shell height and total weight at days 90, 180, 270 and 360. The present results suggested that optimal water depth and culture net was 6-9 m and cylinder net suspended in the sea.

In the fermentation bed feeding mode, the growth traits of broiler hen were recorded in 3 batches, after 10 weeks, 40 hens were chosen from every mode for slaughtering, and the slaughter performance and quality analysis are carried out. Results showed that: for growth traits, the weight of 5 and 9 weeks of the first batch in fermentation bed feeding mode was significantly higher than that of flat online mode (P<0.01), the weight of 5, 6 and 9 weeks of the third batch in fermentation bed feeding mode was significantly higher than that of flat online mode (P<0.01); for meat quality, the filtration rate, moisture content and crude protein of chest muscle in flat online mode were significantly inferior to those in fermentation bed mode (P<0.05). The pH value and shear force of leg muscle quality in fermentation bed mode was significantly lower than those in flat online mode (P<0.05). Therefore, the fermentation bed feeding mode is superior to the flat online mode and can achieve zero discharge and clean production, worthy to be recommended to small and medium-sized feeding farms.

To understand the nutrient composition of fish muscle under the condition of recirculating aquaculture system, and to study the quality control of fish, in this study, the nutrient composition, amino acid and fatty acid composition of Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) muscle were compared in recirculating aquaculture system and in ponds under simulated wild conditions. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the general nutrient composition between the two conditions. 17 kinds of amino acids were detected, and there was no significant difference in the content of each component of amino acid between the two conditions. Amino acid score (AAS) and chemical score (CS) showed that the first restrictive amino acid in recirculating aquaculture system was methionine, the lysine scored the highest among essential amino acids, and essential amino acid index (EAAI) in recirculating aquaculture system was higher than that in pond aquaculture system. The circulating water group detected 20 kinds of fatty acids and the pond group detected 14 kinds of fatty acids, there was no significant difference in the total amount of fatty acids between the two groups. There were significant differences in the composition of fatty acids. Among them, DHA was significantly higher in the circulating water group than in the pond group. In conclusion, the nutritive value of the muscle of Russian sturgeon under the recirculating aquaculture system is no less than that under the simulated wild condition pond.

Cyanobacteria bloom is a serious problem in aquaculture. In this paper, the formation of cyanobacterial blooms, the harm of cyanobacteria bloom, and the treatment methods were summarized.

To achieve the steady yield of rice and to maximize the nutrient use efficiency during the paddy rice production irrigated by the tail water of ‘Macrobrachium Rosenbergii’ aquiculture completely, four treatments were set up for the pot experiment which contained CK (blank control), BC (biochar), TG (soil improvement solution), BT (biochar and soil improvement solution). The suitable material types were screened by the comparison of nutrient transport status in rice-soil system and the growth indexes of paddy rice in different treatments. The results showed that the addition of BC, TG and BT had positive effects on TN accumulation in topsoil (0-10 cm), TP accumulation in soil （0-25cm）,and system nutrition loss;meanwhile, the former two treatment were also helpful for TN accumulation in soil（0-25cm）,and the system nutrition. TG promoted the NO₃^- accumulation in the topsoil (0-10 cm) (P<0.05). Except BC treatment,TN and TP in paddy rice showed a downward trend at the same time in the existence of materials. In the BT treatment, the chlorophyll content at filling stage was higher than that of TG and CK (P<0.05) apparently, the first internode length of material treatment was lower than that of CK (P<0.05), while the difference of the other treatments was not significant(P>0.05). There was no significant difference between actual yield and theoretical yield of different treatments (P>0.05). To summarize, comparing with other materials, TG holds back NO₃^- as the main nitrogen nutrition effectively, enhances the nutrition utility efficiency of aquiculture wastewater, decreases the leaching risk, controls the internode growth of the rice bottom obviously, reduces the lodging risk and has no inhibition on the growth and yield of rice. Thus, TG is a potential material for the enhancement of nutrient utility efficiency in paddy rice irrigated by the wastewater from ‘Macrobrachium rosenbergii’ aquiculture completely.

In order to evaluate the effects of different culture modes on muscle nutritional components of Micropterus salmoides from 2 genetic background populations comprehensively, and to optimize breeding combination and guide consumption, 2 progeny populations of Micropterus salmoides were selected as experimental materials, combined with 2 breeding modes, and then 4 experimental groups were set up. After 8 months of culture, the nutritional components in the back muscle of M. salmoides of each experimental group were detected and analyzed according to the national standard method. The results showed that, the muscle water content of group C was significantly lower than that of other groups (P<0.05), and the crude protein content of group C was significantly higher than that of other groups (P<0.05). ΣTAA, ΣEAA, ΣNEAA, ΣHEAA, ΣDAA and ΣEAA/ΣNEAA of group B were significantly higher than those of other groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the ΣEAA/ΣTAA values among group B, C and D (P>0.05), but the ΣEAA/ΣTAA value of group B was significantly higher than that of group A (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the ΣDAA/ΣTAA values among all the groups (P>0.05). The content data of 16 fatty acids, 13 fatty acids, 13 fatty acids and 12 fatty acids were obtained from group A, B, C and D respectively; the contents of SFA, MUFA, EPA+DHA, PUFA, UPA and FA in group B were significantly higher than those in other experimental groups (P<0.05), only UFA/SFA in group B was significantly lower than that in group C and D (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between group B and A (P>0.05). The content of K was the highest among the four macroelements detected in the experimental groups, in addition, it was significantly higher in group B (4239.33 mg/kg) than that in other groups (P<0.05); the content of Na was second only to that of K, and it was significantly lower in group B (306.87 mg/kg) than that in other groups (P<0.05). In summary, the experiment showed that the fish products obtained from the YL3 breeding in flume recirculating aquaculture mode had a certain advantage of protein accumulation; the fish products obtained from the TL breeding in traditional pond mode had higher content of amino acids and fatty acids, and relatively high ratio of K/Na.

Starting from the problems faced by the sustainable development of domestic aquaculture industry, we independently developed the ‘biomass refining’ technology and the complete set of equipment, extracted water-soluble organic carbon materials with high activity and small molecules from natural plants, and introduced them into aquaculture. Combined with years of research and practice, we analyzed the economic and social benefits, and proved that the plant derived small molecule organic carbon had high activity and could play an important role in aquaculture.

With the improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to dietary quality； And several carnivorous fishes, such as perch, Channa argus and Siniperca chuatsi have been paid more attention because of their higher nutritive value. At present, these kinds of economic fish are in the transformation process of aquaculture model from the traditional pond culture to the pond engineering culture and from feeding the ice fresh fish to feed the artificial formula feed. This paper summarized the current aquaculture status and the indexes in the specific evaluation of nutritional value for these major freshwater aquatic products, and summarized the possible changes of nutritional value in the course of the conversion of the aquaculture model. After the discussion, it was found that the nutritional value, especially protein quality of economic fish such as perch and mandarin fish fed with formula feed were lower than those fed with ice fresh fish ，and the effect of this new aquaculture model with pond circulating water culture on the nutritive value of these carnivorous fishes was unclear for the nutritional value of the fish.However, seen from the present research, pond circulating water culture can effectively improve water quality and limit the accumulation of harmful substances to a certain extent. So this new aquaculture model has a positive effect on the edible quality of these kinds of economic fishes. This paper summarizes the mechanism of nutrient value formation during the transformation of aquaculture model for the main freshwater aquatic products, to provide a theoretical basis for the implementation of a new green and healthy sustainable aquaculture model.

To study the effect and mechanism of “using aquaculture to curb alkali saline-area” model on the saline-alkali land, the saline-alkali land in Jingtai County was used as test field, the solodization effect of aquaculture technology on sandy saline-alkali soil and loam saline-alkali soil was compared. The effects of aquaculture on saline and alkali migration were studied by regularly monitoring and analyzing the changes of water quality parameters in different types of soil and water before and after fish culture. The results showed that the aquaculture model could improve the soil environment of saline and alkaline areas to some extent, and the control effect on sandy soil was better than that on loam soil. In addition, the ammonia nitrogen produced during the cultivation did not show an upward trend, which indicated that it did not cause secondary pollution to the local area. The results of this study provided theoretical and technical support for the application and promotion of “using aquaculture to curb alkali saline-area” model in northwest China.

Freshwater pond aquaculture is the main mode of aquaculture in China, its industrial structure optimization and upgrading is of great significance. The study introduced current status and main species of freshwater pond aquaculture in China, expounded the changes of freshwater pond aquaculture in terms of species structure, culture technology and culture methods, and outlined the main modes of freshwater pond aquaculture in China at present. The study also discussed main problems of freshwater pond aquaculture from eight aspects: species, feed, diseases, environment, aquaculture equipment, aquatic product quality and safety, and aquaculture management, and put forward suggestions on each of these problems, in order to provide ideas for the healthy, high-yield, environmental protection and standardized development of modern freshwater pond aquaculture in China.

In order to explore the way of water spinach planting in floating bed affecting the water micro-ecological environment of tilapia aquaculture ponds, water spinach floating beds were set up in the ponds under the 10% coverage. These ponds served as the treatment group, while the other ponds without floating beds served as the control group. After the vigorous growth of water spinach, the samples of water from treatment ponds, control ponds, and the samples of water spinach roots were collected respectively. The DNA of the samples was extracted, part of them was used to amplify the 16S rRNA genes and carry out the high-throughput sequencing, to investigate the effect of water spinach planting on the bacterial community structure in water, and analyze the relationship between the root system of water spinach and the bacterial community structure of surrounding water. Another part of DNA was used to conduct the fluorescent quantitative PCR to determine the copy number of nitrogenase gene, and analyze the effect of water spinach planting on the nitrogenase genes in tilapia aquaculture pond ecosystems. The results showed that the direct effect of water spinach planting on the community structure of planktonic bacteria in the water was not significant; however, the root biofilm of water spinach played an important role as a key part of the pond micro-environment. At the same time, water spinach root biofilm also increased the number of nitrogen-fixing microorganisms per unit volume in pond water.

At present, most tail water of aquatic animal culture is discharged into the environment directly, which has caused severe environmental pollution. To control the emission of aquaculture tail water effectively, the following strategies to farmers and policy managers in terms of thoughts and actions are put forward in line with the principle of overall systematicness and practicability: (1) to understand and maintain China’s basic state policy for environmental protection; (2) farmers need to improve their management level and establish new farming models; (3) managers should set up regional and intensive resource utilization and treatment standards of tail water emission, establish and improve relevant laws and insurance systems, and strengthen the governance.

To verify the practical culturing effect of a previously designed circulating water treatment system based on heterotopic pond restoration technology, a large-scale multi-species saturating culture experiment was carried out for 3 years. The effects of the system on water quality control was evaluated by measuring the total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), chemical oxygen consumption (COD_Mn) and chlorophyll (Chla) in a common freshwater fish culturing pond. The results showed that in the early stage of the experiment, the total nitrogen level (TP) of the circulating water of the pond reached Class III of the Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water (GB 3838—2002), and the total phosphorus level (TN) reached Class III to V. The average removal rate of TP, TN, COD_Mn and Chla was 40.13%, 45.02%, 43.37% and 86.6%, respectively. The removal efficiency of the system was significant. In the late stage of the experiment, with the continuous increase of the feed input, although the efficiency of the circulating system was greatly improved, the data of each index were still higher than expected. This experiment provides a new idea for the treatment of large-scale aquaculture water by circulating water in freshwater ponds.

In order to compare environment changes of beef cattle farms in southern and northern Xinjiang in winter, environmental indices including the illumination, temperature, humidity, noise, concentrations of CO2, NH3, CH4, PM10 and TSP were measured in two typical beef cattle farms which were located in Baicheng County (BC) in southern Xinjiang and Zhaosu County (ZC) in northern Xinjiang. The indices were measured at 08:00, 12:00, 18:00 and 21:00 in 5 consecutive days. And the 24-hour change of the above indices was also measured in 3 consecutive days. Then these indices were compared between the two beef cattle farms. The results showed that the average illumination and temperature in BC farm, the average temperature and humidity in ZC farm were beyond the limit of the national standard of the Environmental Quality Standards of Livestock and Poultry Farms (NY/T 388—1999). In addition, both the average temperature and humidity in BC farm were extremely lower than that in ZC (P＜0.01). Concentration of CO2 in ZC farm was far beyond the limit of NY/T 388—1999. In addition, concentrations of CO2 and NH3 were extremely lower in BC farm than that in ZC farm (P＜0.01). The 24-hour change of the above parameters showed that the temperature in both the two farms was lower than the limit of NY/T 388—1999. The humidity in BC farm ranged from 52.7% to 86.4%, and the humidity of 12 hours in one day was over the limit of NY/T 388—1999; the humidity in ZC farm ranged from 69.4% to 97.4%, and the humidity of 18 hours in one day was over the limit of NY/T 388—1999. The concentration of CO2 in BC farm ranged from 687.6 to 1799 mg/m3 and it was over the limit of NY/T 388—1999 from 18:00 to 19:00; while the concentration of CO2 in ZC farm was between 1459.6~3392.0 mg/m3 and it was all over the limit of NY/T 388—1999 except for that at 05:00. All of the above results indicated that there were obvious differences of the environmental indices in the beef cattle farms between BC and ZC, the illumination and temperature in BC farm should be improved whereas the contradiction of increasing the temperature and decreasing the humidity and concentration of CO2 in ZC farm should be solved.

To compare the nutritive components and nutritional quality in the muscle of Penaeus vannamei cultured in organic and traditional. Penaeus vannamei cultured in organic had a higher content of Ca and P, lower crude fat compared to Penaeus vannamei cultured in traditional, whereas no significant differences were found in crude protein and ash. Besides, from the Penaeus vannamei cultured in traditional furazolidone was detected, the heavy metal and pesticide residue contents in the shrimp body were up to the national standard(NY 5158-2005), but the Penaeus vannamei cultured in organic was much lower than cultured in traditional in heavy metal and pesticide residue contents.

To effectively remove the heavy metals in cultured oysters, we separately cultured oyster (Crassostrea angulate) in concrete tanks indoors with sand-filtered seawater (control), macroalga (Gracilaria lemaneiformis), macroalga+chitosan, and macroalga+ascorbyl polyphosphate for 14 days. The oysters were sampled on day 0, day 7 and day 14 for determining concentrations of Cu2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+. Data were analyzed and compared to evaluate the macroalga ability of removing heavy metals in oysters. The results showed that three treatments of macroalga, macroalga+chitosan, and macroalga+ascorbyl polyphosphate all significantly decreased the concentrations of heavy metals in oysters (P<0.05). Macroalga + chitosan showed the best removing effect, and the concentrations of Cu2 + , Cd2 + and Pb2 + were respectively 1.93, 0.58, 0.33 mg/kg (wet weight) on day 14, which were all lower than the limits in GB 2762-2012. Therefore, it is completely feasible to remove the heavy metals in cultured oysters by employing the method of combining macroalgae with chitosan.

To evaluate the efficacy of allogynogenetic gibel carp ‘CAS V’ in paddy field cultivation, the experiments with feeding and unfeeding cultivation mode were carried out in Wuyishan. The growth performance and production of fish were measured, the survival rate, specific growth rate and production index and input-output ratio were analyzed. The results showed that, after 62 days’ paddy field cultivation, the production, survival rate, weight gain rate and specific growth rate of allogynogenetic gibel carp ‘CAS V’ in the feeding mode were 2.17, 1.47, 1.98 and 1.60 times of those of the unfeeding mode respectively, and the average size and condition factor were significantly higher than those of unfeeding mode (P＜0.05). Under the experimental conditions, the unit profit of the feeding mode of paddy field cultivation was 9817.50 yuan/hm², which was 2.23 times of that of the unfeeding mode. Therefore, the income of allogynogenetic gibel carp ‘CAS V’ of feeding mode is higher than that of unfeeding mode, but more efforts should be done to improve the efficiency of feed utilization and reduce labor cost to raise the economic benefits.

This paper aims to evaluate the influence of meteorological factors on the shrimp and crab breeding industry in Xiangyang of Hubei Province, and put forward corresponding measures for scientific breeding of shrimp and crab. The laws of meteorological factors' change were analyzed based on nearly 30 years data observed in Xiangyang. The authors reviewed the annual changing trend of main meteorological factors related to the breeding of shrimp and crab, such as temperature, sunshine hours, continuous wet weather, rainstorm, wind force and atmospheric pressure, and discussed the potential climate risks, in order to make rational use of weather forecasting and early warning to achieve the purpose of disaster prevention and reduction. The results showed that suitable temperature, abundant rainfall, mild climate, sufficient sunshine and relatively fewer meteorological disasters could provide favorable climatic conditions for the breeding of shrimp and crab in Xiangyang. By analyzing the law of temperature change in Xiangyang and the relationship between air temperature and water temperature, the authors determined the best period of postlarvae release (after Qingming) and the best period of fishing (before Frost's Descent) for shrimp and crab breeding. At the same time, the authors also analyzed the effects of meteorological factors such as low temperature damage, sunshine hours, continuous rainstorm, gale and thunderstorms on the breeding of shrimp and crab, and put forward the corresponding preventive measures to reduce the impact of weather disasters. This study could provide a theoretical basis for the local meteorological department to make medium and long-term climate prediction and short-term weather forecasting and warning services according to the shrimp and crab breeding cycle. Based on our research results, farmers should attach great importance to the application of early warning information and take active measures to reduce the loss of shrimp and crab breeding caused by meteorological disasters.
