Abstract: Lectins are a unique group of nonimmune carbohydrate-binding proteins or glycoproteins that exhibit specific and reversible carbohydrate-binding activity in a non-catalytic manner. Lectins have erse sources and are classified according to their origins, such as plant lectins, animal lectins, and fish lectins. Marine organisms including fish, crustaceans, and mollusks produce a myriad of lectins, including rhamnose binding lectins (RBL), fucose-binding lectins (FTL), mannose-binding lectin, galectins, galactose binding lectins, and C-type lectins. The widely used method of extracting lectins from marine s les is a simple two-step process employing a polar salt solution and purification by column chromatography. Lectins exert several immunomodulatory functions, including pathogen recognition, inflammatory reactions, participating in various hemocyte functions (e.g., agglutination), phagocytic reactions, among others. Lectins can also control cell proliferation, protein folding, RNA splicing, and trafficking of molecules. Due to their reported biological and pharmaceutical activities, lectins have attracted the attention of scientists and industries (i.e., food, biomedical, and pharmaceutical industries). Therefore, this review aims to update current information on lectins from marine organisms, their characterization, extraction, and biofunctionalities.

Abstract: This study evaluated the effect of two commercial probiotics, zymetin, and super PS, on the culture environment, production, and economics of Macrobrachium rosenbergii aquaculture . The experiment was conducted using three treatments, including T 1 , probiotics applied in all culture phases T 2 , during grow‐out and a control ( C ). Prawns were fed commercial pelleted diets. Earthen ponds were used at a stocking density of two juveniles/m 2 . Water concentrations of non‐ionized ammonia and nitrite‐nitrogen were significantly lower ( p 0.05) in T 1 than in T 2 and C . Probiotic application significantly ( p 0.05) reduced phosphate content and balanced soil pH. Growth performance, condition factor, survival, protein utilization, and production were significantly higher in T 1 followed by T 2 compared to C by the end of grow‐out. Application of zymetin and super PS in all culture phases significantly ( p 0.05) reduced the feed conversion ratio in T 1 compared to T 2 and C . Positive allometric growth was observed in T 1 , whereas growth was isometric in C and T 2 . Probiotic treatment during all culture phases achieved the highest net returns to land, family labor, and management. Application of probiotics during the entire culture cycle could be the best practice for improving production and economics in M. rosenbergii aquaculture.
