The transfer of resistance from an aquaculture pathogen into a human enteric bacterium has been demonstrated in research and may be happening in the real-world environment.
A study showed that lipid source and DHA and EPA levels in feeds can influence the growth performance and tail fatty acid profiles of L. vannamei farmed under hypersaline conditions.
Mexico's government, shrimp industry and academic community are working to develop strategies to attenuate the effects of white spot virus in Sinaloa. They confirmed eight genotypes.
Improving the methodology of antimicrobial resistance testing and related controls, and the implementation of laboratory ring tests could lead to more reliable information.
Although many companies avoid the costs associated with setting up proactive disease management infrastructure, failure to do so can result in losses that far outweigh the costs.
The levels of harmful Vibrio bacteria – a pathogen that multiplies at higher temperatures – in raw oysters depend largely on post-harvest handling.
The authors induced out-of-season spawning in pike perch reared under natural and artificial temperature and illumination regimes.
Fish farms in Armenia have developed a diversified product base that includes value-added, ready-to-eat foods for export, as well as live and processed fish for domestic markets.
The authors conducted a study to investigate the prevalence of IHHNV in P. vannamei within the context of a family-based genetic selection program.
In research for Norway’s salmon farmers, the authors documented effective bath treatments against sea lice infestations in large net pens using skirts or tarpaulins to define the treatment area.
Trout farming is a well-established industry that assists in providing services and technology to developing aquaculture sectors in South Africa.
The Fjordsmolt RAS farm applies a relatively simple, low-cost design to produce millions of salmon smolts per year in fiberglass tanks.
Based on a phylogenetic analysis with the BEAST program, the authors determined the evolutionary relationships among 83 Taura syndrome virus isolates.
The use of probiotics in aquaculture is steadily gaining momentum, supplementing or replacing the use of antimicrobial compounds in disease control.
The tilapia production boom results from technology that combines artificial egg incubation and monosex fry production using hormonal sex reversal.
Various techniques have been proposed to reduce Vibrio bacteria in live and processed oysters. In studies, X-ray treatments successfully reduced Vibrio populations.
