Hatchery, nursery production of freshwater prawns in temperate climates
The operation of a freshwater prawn hatchery in temperate climates presents a variety of challenges not found in the traditional greenwater or flow-through systems.
Compound microdiets for marine fish larvae: Key parameters
Research has been directed toward developing compound microdiets to ameliorate variability and poor nutritional quality of live food.
Freshwater prawn culture in the United States?
Excitement about the potential farming of freshwater prawns in the United States has persisted for almost five decades but has yet to materialize.
Selection of probiotics for marine larviculture
Probiotics for marine larviculture offer an alternative to the prophylactic use of antibiotics in aquaculture, which may lead to drug-resistance.
Recombinant fish growth hormones
The enhancement of growth rate is a particularly important economic parameter, as it can significantly reduce the time required to produce market-size fish.
Study assesses fatty acid requirements, lipid levels of juvenile Pacific white shrimp
Study shows that increasing the dietary lipid level affected the lipid composition of shrimp by increasing lipid deposition in hepatopancreas and muscle tissue.
Histamine testing: Costs, benefits of representative food safety test
Spot histamine testing does not assure there are no histamine fish in the system, but does let suppliers know that handling procedure are double-checked.
Protein-energy ratio research in penaeid shrimp
Of all the issues important to shrimp nutrition, the reduction of feed cost with concomitant increased feed performance are most desirable.
HACCP implementation at shrimp farms
HACCP plans bring the benefits of quality assurance, documented chain of custody, monitoring and inputs and better supervision of employee actions.
Philippine studies support moderate feeding in tilapia
Authors carried out a series of experiments at and around Central Luzon State University designed to determine optimal feeding strategies for tilapia.
Freshwater prawns on ice
The Malaysian or giant freshwater prawn can be marketed live, chilled, or frozen. However, farmers face constraints regarding meat quality deterioration.
Microbial flora of aquaculture products
The microbial flora of farmed seafood products, particularly the microorganisms considered human pathogens, are important to individuals and agencies.
Dietary gossypol benefits limited in improving ESC resistance in catfish
The amount of cottonseed meal that can be included in fish diets depends mainly on its levels of free gossypol and available lysine.
Nutrition impacts pigmentation, eye migration In Atlantic halibut
Atlantic halibut juveniles fed artemia in the larval stage often exhibit insufficient pigmentation and lack proper eye migration.
Nutritional considerations for Pacific white shrimp reared in inland, low-salinity waters
Numerous environmental, social and economic advantages support the expansion of euryhaline shrimp and fish production away from coastal environments.
Regional authorities regulate antibiotic use
The regulation of antibiotic use aims to guarantee the safety and efficacy of the drugs for the animals treated and protecting the health of consumers.
