In the aquaculture environment, the application of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) not only reflects its effectiveness in controlling (Aedes spp.) mosquito larvae, but also highlights its role in maintaining ecological balance and promoting the sustainable development of aquaculture. potential. Continue to optimize Bti formulations and application strategies to improve its efficiency and persistence in aquaculture environments. This includes developing Bti formulations that adapt to different water conditions (such as salinity, pH and temperature), as well as exploring more precise application times and methods to reduce the impact on non-target organisms while ensuring effective control of mosquito larvae (Docile et al., 2021). Strengthen the monitoring and assessment of the ecological effects of Bti application. Considering the complexity and diversity of the aquaculture environment, it is particularly important to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the ecological impacts of the long-term use of Bti. This includes its impact on aquatic biodiversity, non-target organisms (especially aquatic insects and amphibians), and potential risks to the health of aquaculture organisms (Becker et al., 2018). Explore biological control methods that work synergistically with Bti to form an integrated mosquito management strategy. For example, the use of natural enemies (such as predatory fish and insects) combined with Bti can not only enhance the mosquito control effect, but also help reduce intervention in the ecosystem and promote biodiversity in aquaculture environments (Mataba et al., 2023). Improving the public and aquaculture industry's understanding of the application value and ecological impact of Bti is the key to achieving its continuous optimization and ecological balance. Through education and training, we can enhance the understanding of Bti as an eco-friendly mosquito control method and encourage the adoption of scientific application methods and management strategies, which can effectively improve the application effect of Bti in aquaculture. By continuously optimizing the application methods and strategies of Bti, strengthening the monitoring and evaluation of its ecological impact, and exploring synergistic effects with other biological control methods, we can effectively control mosquito populations and promote the aquaculture industry while protecting the aquaculture ecological environment. sustainable development. With the widespread acceptance of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) for controlling mosquito larvae (Aedes spp.) in aquaculture environments, future research will face new directions and challenges. Improving the efficiency of Bti application, exploring strategies to slow the development of resistance, and comprehensively evaluating its long-term ecological impact will be the focus of research (Begum et al., 2015). Future research needs to focus on improving the efficiency of Bti applications. This includes developing newBti formulations and application technologies to prolong its persistence in the environment and enhance its ability to control target mosquito populations. At the same time, exploring how to improve the activity and stability of Bti without increasing the impact on non-target organisms will be the key to research (Muhammad et al., 2024). The development of mosquito resistance to Bti has become an important factor limiting the long-term effective use of Bti. Future research needs to gain an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms of mosquito resistance to Bti and explore molecular and genetic-based strategies to slow or avoid the development of resistance. At the same time, research on comprehensive management strategies that combine the use of Bti with other non-chemical control methods may provide an effective way to slow down the development of resistance. A comprehensive assessment of the long-term ecological impacts of Bti is particularly important given the potential increased impact of global climate change and reduced biodiversity on mosquito-borne diseases. Future research needs to assess the impact of Bti applications on biodiversity, non-target organisms, and entire ecosystem
