Evaluating passive acoustic telemetry to monitor gilthead sea bream juveniles
An evaluation of passive acoustic telemetry techniques as a tool to monitor welfare of gilthead sea bream juveniles implanted with acoustic transmitters.
Land-based sea urchin ranchers are kelp forest crusaders and sushi entrepreneurs
Oregon-based restorative aquaculture startup OoNee is producing sea urchin uni for the growing sushi market while easing pressure on kelp forests.
Sea urchin aquaculture: From laboratory to production
The gonads of male and female sea urchins is considered a delicacy. A strong market value for quality uni make urchins an excellent aquaculture candidate.
The odd wedge sea hare is useful as an ‘algae cleaner’
Marine gastropod molluscs known as sea hares are relatively unknown animals that have significant importance in biomedical research due to their particular nervous system. And because of their ability to consume large amounts of algae, they can be very useful in clearwater, marine aquaculture systems.
Aquaculture could enhance Mediterranean Sea urchin fishery
Although researchers in several countries are working to enhance sea urchin fisheries or commercial production, the development of a major commercial industry has been restrained by the lack of cost-effective production technology.
Aquaculture in Canada: status, perspectives
Canada exports farmed seafood products to more than 22 countries and is the main seafood supplier to the U.S. market. Finfish, primarily salmon, production is strong and shellfish production is growing, but diversification will be imperative to maintain competitiveness.
Byproduct utilization for increased profitability, part 5
Fish protein hydrolysates have been used in the food industry for the development of antioxidants, emulsifiers, flavoring agents, anti-bacterial agents and feed. As natural products, they have a growing acceptance, since natural products are preferred by some consumers over industrial products.
Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, part 2
Regulatory frameworks and financial incentives may be required to fully realize the benefits of integrated multi-trophic aquaculture systems.
Hyperthermia can boost innate immune system in juvenile fish
Hyperthermia, or heat shock treatment, is an unconventional approach to pathogen control in fish aquaculture that appears to have potential to improve disease resistance in fish like tilapia and barramundi.
With entrenched aquaculture views, Alaska weighs its future in farming
The word aquaculture is a dirty one in Alaska, where finfish farming is firmly prohibited. But if your farm fits a certain description, permits to proceed can indeed be obtained.
Aquaculture diversification in Chile: Potential of giant barnacles
Current work to support culture of giant barnacles illustrates the process of developing production technologies and their transference within Chile.
Microorganisms and feed management in aquaculture
Shrimp are the most commercially important aquaculture animals that utilize a significant amount of microorganisms in their diet.
Conscious coupling: Can IMTA gain a foothold in Europe?
Integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) isn’t widely practiced in Europe but new findings indicate that farming multiple species on one site can work.
Effects of aquaculture on China’s marine fisheries over the past 30 years
First evaluation of statistical data on aquaculture development effects on marine wild fisheries and contributions to their sustainable management.
Effects of Bacillus velezensis dietary supplementation on growth and health of Pacific white shrimp
Assessing the B. velezensis BV007 supplement to promote growth, enhance immune response and modulate intestinal microbiota of L. vannamei shrimp.
Nutrient retention efficiencies in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture
First quantitative estimates for nutrient retention in IMTA systems show a large fraction of released nutrients retained by extractive species and harvested.
With growing demand for sustainably farmed seafood, Oman tests the waters with shrimp farming in the desert
Shrimp farming in the desert may seem outside the box for the Middle East region, but Oman is keen to develop its aquaculture sector.
Combined effects of nutritional, biochemical, environmental stimuli on gilthead sea bream
Study evaluates effects of holding temperature and low fish oil diets with dietary genistein on several production parameters for gilthead sea bream.
