Shrimp Culture Water Bacterial Community Data from a 28-Day Peanut Shell Experiment

A controlled 28-day experiment investigated the effects of peanut shells as a carbon source on bacterial communities in Penaeus vannamei shrimp culture water. The dataset, authored by Xiaoshuang Liu and last updated in April 2026, contains measurements from systems comparing peanut shell amendments to a control. It includes environmental parameters like ammonia and nitrite concentrations, and analyses of bacterial diversity and functional pathways.

Use Cases

• Modeling microbial community succession based on environmental factors like phosphate and nitrate.
• Comparing the effects of different carbon sources on nitrogen removal efficiency in aquaculture systems.
• Predicting functional pathways in bacterial communities, such as quorum sensing and organic matter degradation.
• Analyzing the selective enrichment of specific bacterial taxa like Rhodobacteraceae under different carbon amendments.

Strengths

• Data originates from a controlled 28-day experiment with defined treatments.
• Includes specific environmental measurements like ammonia and nitrite concentrations.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 26.6 KB, indicating limited scope.
