Las formulaciones de alimentos afectan el sabor y la textura de los camarones
Las dietas sin pescado son adecuadas para la producción de camarón y pueden generar productos de alta calidad. Las preferencias de los consumidores por los atributos de sabor y textura de los camarones necesitan ser explorados.
Functional genomics studies explore shrimp responses to viral pathogens
The aim of functional genomics on innate antiviral immunity in marine shrimp is to characterize the genes involved in the response to WSSV and other viruses.
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.
HACCP risk management tool controls viral pathogens at shrimp facilities
An approach like HACCP, which integrates risk assessment, management and communication is necessary to minimize unintended consequences.
Effects of sand, sediment, vertical surfaces on intensive shrimp production
In intensive shrimp-culture systems, sand, sediment and other surface areas can have both positive and negative effects on shrimp production.
Zero exchange, aerobic, heterotrophic systems: key considerations
Most environmental concerns about aquaculture practices can be addressed effectively by zero exchange, aerobic, heterotrophic culture systems.
Go beyond PCR for better aquafeed biosecurity
Authors discuss issues with using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for pathogen detection regarding the biosecurity of formulated aquafeeds.
Yendo más allá de la PCR para una mejor bioseguridad de los alimentos acuícolas
Los autores discuten problemas con el uso de la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) para la detección de patógenos con respecto a la bioseguridad de los alimentos acuícolas formulados.
Addison Lawrence, dedicated shrimp aquaculture researcher, remembered
Dr. Addison Lee Lawrence, a well-known shrimp aquaculture researcher who authored or co-authored many Advocate articles, passed away in October at the age of 86.
Nutrition and genes research at Virginia Tech
Transcriptomics studies highlight impacts of different treatments on specific genes that can be targeted via nutritional intervention to increase farmed animal performance or welfare.
Counterpoint: Marine ingredients are stable in volume, strategic in aquaculture nutrition
IFFO Director General Petter M. Johannessen says fishmeal and fish oil offer unmatched nutrition and benefits to fuel aquaculture’s growth trajectory.
As ‘unprecedented’ wildfires burn across Canada, Nova Scotia seafood sector feels the heat
With wildfires raging across Canada, Nova Scotia's seafood industry faces lobster fishing, aquaculture and supply chain disruptions.
Building a better shrimp nursery, part 2
Shrimp nursery systems offer the shrimp industry an important opportunity to increase profits, by helping produce strong, healthy and uniform juveniles with significant potential for compensatory growth after their transfer for final pond grow-out. Biofloc technology and water quality are critical components of shrimp nursery systems.
Building a better shrimp nursery, part 3
Shrimp nursery systems offer significant potential for compensatory growth after juveniles are transferred to ponds for final grow-out. Nursery feed selection and their management are critical components of shrimp nursery systems.
Construyendo un mejor pre-criadero de camarones, parte 1
Los sistemas de pre-criadero de camarones ofrecen una oportunidad importante para aumentar los beneficios. Los pre-criaderos adecuadamente diseñados y operados son instalaciones altamente bioseguras para criar postlarvas a densidades muy altas. El objetivo es producir juveniles fuertes, sanos y uniformes con un potencial significativo de crecimiento compensatorio después de su transferencia para el crecimiento final en estanques.
Construyendo un mejor pre-pre-criadero de camarones, parte 3
Los sistemas de pre-criaderos de camarón ofrecen un potencial significativo para el crecimiento compensatorio después de que los juveniles son transferidos a estanques para su crecimiento final. La selección de alimentos para pre-criaderos y su manejo son componentes críticos de estos sistemas.
Global brine shrimp supply a potential bottleneck to aquaculture expansion, part 1
The brine shrimp artemia is critical for larval fish and shrimp diets. As aquaculture expands, an effective artificial replacement diet for artemia is a major consideration for the industry.
Calcium and magnesium use in aquaculture
Aquatic plants and animals get the essential nutrients calcium and magnesium from water and food. Calcium concentrations impact the hydration and development of eggs in a hatchery, where calcium carbonate precipitation can be troublesome.
