First evaluation of statistical data on aquaculture development effects on marine wild fisheries and contributions to their sustainable management.
Greenhouse raceways: A consideration for super intensive shrimp production
Greenhouse raceways can be managed with zero to minimal water exchange, thus greatly reducing environmental impacts due to effluent discharge.
The blue dimensions of aquaculture
Authors review global aquaculture production, including development, farming systems, environmental concerns and further growth potential.
Integrated utilization of microalgae grown in aquaculture wastewater
A study shows that wastewater from recirculating aquaculture systems is suitable for microalgal cultivation and that sludge amendment to the wastewater increases production.
NOAA helps fund the launch of harmful algal bloom control center
NOAA awarded $7.5 million to launch a technology incubator with a mandate to “advance innovative ways to control harmful algal blooms."
A circular economy approach to transform the future of marine aquaculture
Marine microalgae-based aquaculture has the potential to provide greater than 100 percent of global protein demand by 2050.
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.
Overcoming the ‘sterility paradox’: How new gene editing technology can solve it and benefit aquaculture
GOAL 22: Monosex sterile fish are good for farms but not hatcheries. The Center for Aquaculture Technologies solves this paradox at commercial scale with novel gene-editing technology.
Arctic char producer partners with custom genetics firm CAT
The Center for Aquaculture Technologies teams with Canada’s Icy Waters Ltd. on a new breeding program for Arctic char raised in RAS.

Brunei project develops technology for large black tiger shrimp production, part 1
A five-year project was undertaken in Brunei Darussalam to develop advanced technology for the production of large black tiger shrimp. A combination of technologies has enabled efficient production of large-sized black tiger shrimp, which could lead to a resurgence of this species in Asia.
‘A world down below’ – Deeper fishing insights lead to better tools for bycatch reduction
High-tech bycatch reduction devices – data analytics, cameras and sensors – are in play but SafetyNet Technologies says the secret is collaboration.
Optimizing crucial cost centers for shrimp feed manufacturing
Assuring that aquafeed ingredients are processed properly into a high-quality product requires monitoring each manufacturing process through the proper in-line quality assurance, to produce a consistent quality continuously.
Developments in closed-containment technologies for salmonids, part 1
The recent 2017 Aquaculture Innovation Workshop in Vancouver brought together numerous stakeholders involved in and interested in fish farming – particularly salmonids – in the growing industry of closed-containment systems.
Climate change effects on aquaculture production
Comprehensive review explores the negative and positive sides of climate change on aquaculture production, and implications for its sustainability.
Aquaculture 2019: Triennial meeting examines global industry status
The triennial Aquaculture 2019 meeting – which also celebrated the 50thanniversary of the World Aquaculture Society – featured all segments of the aquaculture value chain during 104 technical sessions.
Barcoding, nucleic acid sequencing are powerful resources for aquaculture
DNA barcoding and nucleic acid sequencing technologies are important tools to build and maintain an identification library of aquacultured and other aquatic species that is accessible online for the scientific, commercial and regulatory communities.
Advancing the ecosystem services of aquaculture
The Nature Conservancy was inactive in aquaculture until new program leader Robert Jones joined. His focus is on the positive outcomes of responsible aquaculture.
