Comparative analysis of crab growth performance, enzyme activity, and microbiota between rice-crab coculture and pond farming systems
The RCC enhances the growth rate and immune capability of crabs. Crabs from RCC consume more animal-based nutrition, which results in distinct differences in gut microbiota composition and higher levels of LPS and TRY compared to those in PF. Additionally, RCC supports environmentally beneficial bacteria that contribute to greenhouse gas reduction, carbon and nitrogen fixation, organic matter decomposition, and ammonia oxidation, benefiting both the crabs and their ecosystem. These findings enhance our understanding of crab physiology and microbial communities in RCC and PF systems.
