An over-reliance on medical and chemical controls, along with warming waters, led to a surge in sea lice. With such treatments waning in effectiveness, operators turn to other, safer measures. 

Alltech and Benchmark have been working on the next generation of sea lice solutions and believe they have new products that can help salmon farmers win. 

Alternative diets using novel plant and animal-derived protein sources have comparable performance to current commercial sea bass feeds. 

A summary of the literature focusing on the impacts of ocean warming and acidification on life stages of commercially relevant sea urchin species. 

Proof-of-concept studies for precision fish farming would be easier in laboratories, but demonstrating effects in full-scale farming conditions is critical. 

To both restore waterways and meet a growing demand for the so-called “foie gras” of the sea, researchers are stepping up efforts to restore green sea urchins. 

With rising sea levels inevitable, aquaculture faces existential uncertainties and confronts its own contributions to the problem. 

Few could argue that a reduction in sea lice-fighting chemicals isn't a win for the fish and for the environment. The downside, however, is that increasing numbers of cleaner fish are being caught for use on salmon farms. 

Salmon farmers in Norway are trialing two new technologies, including one from Silicon Valley, in their ongoing battle with the persistent sea lice. 

In trials, finishing diets improved the appearance of sea bass and sea bream with equivalent or higher performance than that achieved with standard grow-out diets. 

The Mote Aquaculture Research Park in Florida is developing a pilot-scale recirculating aquaponic system for the useful halophyte plant sea purslane. 

Sea lice plague salmon farms globally, but scientists and aquaculture are turning to technology to prevent and manage the pests. 

A lack of affordable and reliable Wi-Fi for crews jeopardizes their well-being and exposes them to exploitation and illegal fishing practices. 

Innovations to combat sea lice are in the pipeline as ambitious new companies employ a combination of innovative technological and scientific methods. 

Progress in developing aquaculture methods for black sea bass is related to the concurrent study of culture requirements for the growout or “ongrowing” of captive wild stock. 

Study finds the number of sea lettuce species is much larger than previously known, with possible benefits for expanding aquaculture. 

European sea bass have been raised in the favorable climate of the Middle East since 2000. For effective larval rearing of sea bass, the authors recommend the use of temperature-controlled water with about 35 ppt salinity and good aeration in tanks. 

Turkey has many kilometers of coastline, but shellfish culture is developing slowly in the country. Only two bivalve farms producing mussels presently operate there. Mussel spat is collected naturally on the long line systems.
