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.
Overview of mechanical pond aeration
Mechanical pond aerators increase the rate at which oxygen from air enters water by providing a greater surface area to facilitate diffusion.
High-pressure processing offers varied applications
High-pressure processing can destroy or inactivate microbial cells in seafood to improve shelf life, quality and food safety.
Why are antibiotic residues in farmed shrimp a big deal?
Antibiotic residues in farmed shrimp, and antimicrobial resistance in general, pose a threat, but we must balance what is realistic and what is ideal.
Precision fish farming: A new framework to improve aquaculture, Part 1
A review of technology usage in finfish aquaculture, future application possibilities for precision fish farming (PFF) and guidelines for research.
Microbial plate counts: Do they accurately predict quality in aquacultured catfish?
Can microbial plate counts accurately distinguish fish fillet quality? It's an effective quality indicator for some aquaculture species but not others.
Water quality concerns may move up food chain
Consumer interest in water quality may prompt industry to further limit chemical use and improve biosecurity programs as an alternative to antibiotics.
Formulating standards for effluent management
A major environmental consideration in shrimp farming is the negative impacts of pond effluents on coastal water quality.
One ocean: At the intersection of green energy and a blue economy
To mitigate the impacts of climate change and bolster ocean health, research suggests turning to one of the planet’s powerful forces: The ocean itself.
How resilient is aquaculture in the face of a pandemic?
Lead author of a Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future study examines how seafood businesses and related institutions are responding to the pandemic.
Underutilized marine organisms as potential aquaculture feed ingredients
Evaluating potential of underutilized marine organisms as candidates for aquafeed ingredients, emphasizing unfed low-trophic-level species.
Study: Better understanding of seafood sales messaging could improve global trade
Study on seafood marketing messaging could help improve communication with consumers and drive the seafood industry.
Expanded polystyrene is a ‘waste nightmare’ but could non-EPS seafood packaging reduce ocean pollution?
Expanded polystyrene is common in seafood packaging, but threatens marine life and human health as ocean pollution. A growing number of alternatives are emerging.
With tools like CRISPR, can genome editing deliver more resilience for aquaculture?
Research in Japan shows genome editing can improve muscle growth in farmed fish, resulting in less feed and boosting disease resistance.
Assessing bactericidal activity of peracetic acid to selected fish pathogens in RAS water
RAS producers should know about the effectiveness of peracetic acid in reducing populations of specific bacterial pathogens.
Study finds ‘great potential’ in alternatives to antibiotic use in aquaculture
A review outlines potential alternatives to antibiotic use in aquaculture but says that research funding is needed to advance the technology.
Can a fishermen-developed ‘banger bar’ help reduce risk of injury on crab boats?
Study finds that having a metal bar to bang crab pots against during harvest can help fishermen prevent injury.
FAO issues ‘roadmap’ for early harmful algal bloom warning systems
Document provides guidance to implement or improve early warning systems for harmful algal blooms that threaten seafood and public health.
