    Giant tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) is one of the most commercially important species in global intensive shrimp aquaculture. However, rising fishmeal prices have driven increases in feed costs, prompting some farmers to use lower-quality feeds, which can negatively affect shrimp growth performance. Natural micro-snails, such as Stenothyra sp., have been identified as potential co-feeds for P. monodon. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of Stenothyra sp. as a co-feed on the growth performance and feed efficiency of P. monodon. Juvenile shrimp were assigned to two treatment groups (n = 20 per group): control (fed artificial pellets) and co-feed (fed artificial pellets supplemented with live micro-snails). The specific growth rate was higher in the co-feed group (8.4 ± 0.11% per day) than that in the control group (7.2 ± 0.34% per day). The final body weight was approximately 61% higher in the co-feed group than that in the control group. Similarly, feed efficiency (119.6 ± 2.73% vs. 77.5 ± 2.90%) and total protein intake (6.8 ± 0.17 g vs. 1.7 ± 0.06 g) were significantly higher in the co-feed group than those in the control group, indicating better feed and nutrient utilization following Stenothyra sp. supplementation. In conclusion, under the tested conditions, providing Stenothyra sp. as a co-feed improved growth performance and feed efficiency in juvenile P. monodon, possibly due to increased total protein intake. Overall, this study presents an innovative co-feeding strategy with potential benefits; however, its broader practical and economic implications require further evaluation.

    Cyclophilin A (CypA) is a highly conserved peptidyl-prolyl isomerase that plays a crucial role in protein folding, immune regulation, and cellular stress responses. In shrimp, CypA has been implicated in innate immunity, particularly in response to viral and bacterial infections. This study investigates the role of the Penaeus monodon cyclophilin A (PmCypA) in shrimp infected with V. parahaemolyticus AHPND (VP<inf>AHPND</inf>). During VP<inf>AHPND</inf> infection, the expression levels of PmCypA gene and PmCypA protein were significantly increased at 24 h post-infection (h.p.i.) in shrimp hemocyte. To investigate the role of PmCypA in shrimp immune response, shrimp were administrated with the recombinant PmCypA protein (rPmCypA) and submerged in VP<inf>AHPND</inf> suspension. The results showed that the rPmCypA could rapidly stimulate the expression of immune-related genes involved in several immune pathways, such as immune recognition receptors, clotting system, phagocytosis and homeostasis. Moreover, the injected rPmCypA led to an increase in the proportion of hyaline cells and the greater quantity of granulocytes that contained PmCypA. Furthermore, the rPmCypA could prolong shrimp survival during VP<inf>AHPND</inf> infection. These results suggest that the PmCypA is a bacterial-responsive gene in shrimp immune defense response and potentially an immunostimulator in shrimp.

    Cyclophilin A (CypA) or peptidylprolyl isomerase A, plays an important role in protein folding, trafficking, environmental stress, cell signaling and apoptosis etc. In shrimp, the mRNA expression level of PmCypA was stimulated by LPS. In this study, all three types of shrimp hemocytes: hyaline cell, granulocyte and semi-granulocyte expressed the PmCypA protein. The mRNA expression level of PmCypA was found to be up-regulate to four-fold in white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infected hemocytes at 48 h. Interestingly, PmCypA protein was only detected extracellularly in shrimp plasma at 24 h post WSSV infection. To find out the function of extracellular PmCypA, the recombinant PmCypA (rPmCypA) was produced and administrated in shrimp primary hemocyte cell culture to observe the antiviral properties. In rPmCypA-administrated hemocyte cell culture, the mRNA transcripts of WSSV intermediate early gene, ie1 and early gene, wsv477 were significantly decreased but not that of late gene, vp28. To explore the antiviral mechanism of PmCypA, the expression of PmCypA in shrimp hemocytes was silenced and the expression of immune-related genes were investigated. Surprisingly, the suppression of PmCypA affected other gene expression, decreasing of penaeidin, PmHHAP and PmCaspase and increasing of C-type lectin. Our results suggested that the PmCypA might plays important role in anti-WSSV via apoptosis pathway. Further studies of PmCypA underlying antiviral mechanism are underway to show its biological function in shrimp immunity.
