Abstract
The integration of genomics and nutrigenomics has revolutionized aquafeed development, enabling the formulation of precision diets that optimize nutrient utilization, immune resilience, and growth in the Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). This study provides the first comprehensive bibliometric and scientometric analysis of global research trends in genome based aquafeed from 1976 to 2025. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed using Bibliometrix (RStudio) and VOSviewer to identify publication dynamics, thematic evolution, and emerging research frontiers. A total of 1,013 documents were analyzed, revealing a marked surge in publications after 2018 driven by the release of the Litopenaeus vannamei reference genome and the growing application of omics-based nutritional research. China, the United States, and Southeast Asia were identified as major contributors, forming dense international collaboration networks. Core journals such as Fish and Shellfish Immunology and Aquaculture dominated citation impact, with highly cited papers focusing on probiotics, immune gene expression, and host microbiome interactions. Keyword co-occurrence analysis indicated a thematic transition from conventional feed trials toward multi omics integration, oxidative stress modulation, and intestinal microbiota regulation, highlighting the emergence of precision immune nutrition and metabolomic guided feed design. Overall, this study delineates the intellectual structure, global landscape, and future directions of shrimp nutrigenomics, providing a strategic foundation for developing genome based, sustainable aquafeed technologies that align with the next generation of molecular aquaculture innovation.
