Popis: Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have obtained an increasing number of global concerns for the severe risks they pose to food safety and public health. Studies have investigated the concentrations and distribution of ARGs in the environment. However, the distribution and dissemination of ARGs, the bacterial communities, and the key influencing factors during the entire rearing period in the biofloc-based zero-water-exchange mariculture system (BBZWEMS) remain unclear. The current study investigated the concentrations, temporal variations, distribution, and dissemination of ARGs, the changes in the bacterial communities, as well as the key influencing factors during the rearing period in the BBZWEMS. Sul1 and sul2 were dominant ARGs. Total concentrations of ARGs followed a trend of decrease in pond water, while they followed a trend of increase in source water, biofloc, and shrimp gut. Total concentrations of targeted ARGs in the water source were higher than those in the pond water and biofloc samples for each corresponding rearing stage by 2.25–122.97-fold (p
