Progress in studies on diversity and ecological role of ciliates in mariculture
The health of aquaculture ecosystem and the ecological effects of aquaculture activities have been paid increasing attentions in recent years.As an important part of marine aquaculture ecosystem,ciliates play a key role in matter cycling and energy flow in aquaculture water.In this paper,the research progress about ciliates in mariculture water was reviewed.The biodiversity of ciliates,ciliates diseases,the impact of aquaculture activities on ciliates,and the indication of ciliates to aquaculture environment were introduced.In addition,the limitations of past studies are considered,and the potential research hotspots are prospected for ciliates in aquaculture.This review is aimed at providing some updated information on the ecological effects of mariculture and offering available reference for further understanding the ecological role of ciliates in mariculture.
