Relaciones carbono-nitrógeno en fertilización de estanques y sistemas de biofloc
El Prof. Claude Boyd discute la importancia de las relaciones carbono-nitrógeno para la fertilización de estanques y los sistemas biofloc, y la relevancia de las aportaciones precisas de carbohidratos.
La producción actual, desafíos y el futuro del cultivo del camarón
En el Simposio de Acuacultura de Guatemala en Antigua, el enfoque fue el cultivo de camarón en la región: producción, nutrición, gestión de la salud y mercados.
Bacterial amendments in shrimp grow-out ponds
Pond microbial communities are a critical and often overlooked component of aquaculture ecosystems. Bacterial amendments like probiotics provide significant support to shrimp farmers around the world.
Mollusk culture in Portugal
Most of the shellfish industry in Portugal is located on the country’s southern coast, where the production is dominated by the grooved carpet shell clam, followed by Japanese and Portuguese cupped oysters, and mussels.
Spanish trials address transport of wild juvenile tuna for ongoing study
In work on the nutrition and feeding aspects of bluefin, the authors utilize wild juvenile tuna that are adapted to culture conditions in sea cages.
New recirculating systems offer efficient, responsible production
Recirculating systems, where probiotic, heterotrophic bacteria compete with pathogenic bacteria, can operate without antibiotics to produce tilapia and shrimp.
Enmiendas bacterianas en estanques de engorde de camarón
Las comunidades microbianas de estanques son un componente crítico y, a menudo, pasado por alto en los ecosistemas acuícolas. Las enmiendas bacterianas como los probióticos brindan un importante apoyo a los productores de camarón en todo el mundo.
Thoughts on pond fertilization
Prof. Boyd provides additional insights into fertilization of aquaculture ponds, discussing phytoplankton requirements, organic and inorganic fertilizers, and other relevant aspects of pond management.
Reflexiones sobre la fertilización de estanques
El Prof. Boyd proporciona información adicional sobre la fertilización de los estanques acuícolas, discutiendo los requisitos de fitoplancton, los fertilizantes orgánicos e inorgánicos y otros aspectos relevantes del manejo del estanque.
Towards sustainable aquafeeds: Evaluating fishmeal substitution
This study evaluated replacing fishmeal with a protein-rich and EPA-rich co-product of the marine microalga Nannochloropsis oculate in diets of Nile tilapia.
U.S. trials compare commercial diets fed to juvenile cobia
In trials with two commercial aquafeeds, juvenile cobia exhibited excellent growth and feed conversion. Higher-than-required lipid levels in the diets did not improve growth.
Pellet stability, hardness influence feed consumption of Pacific white shrimp
A study in Ecuador found that pellet stability and the overall physical properties of feed pellets greatly influences the consumption of shrimp feeds with varied types and proportions of binder agents.
Advances in tilapia nutrition, part 1
This two-part review brings together scientific and field advances in tilapia nutrition and feeding to better support the formulation of feeds for better production performance.
Advances in tilapia nutrition, part 2
Nutrition has an important role on growth, performance and flesh quality of tilapia. Part two of this two-part series looks into mineral supplementation and feeding strategy.
Live diets for pacu larvae tested in Peru
Study in Peru that evaluated three food sources for larval pacu shows that water fleas appear to be a cost-effective substitute for artemia.
Genome editing potential to improve aquaculture breeding, production, Part 2
Genome editing can contribute to sustainable aquaculture production in terms of disease resistance and sterility to prevent interbreeding with wild stocks.
Potencial de edición del genoma para mejorar la cría y producción de acuacultura, Parte 2
La edición del genoma puede contribuir a la producción sostenible de la acuacultura en términos de resistencia a las enfermedades y esterilidad para evitar el cruzamiento con las poblaciones silvestres.
Salinity in aquaculture, Part 1
Prof. Boyd discusses the various definitions of salinity as an environmental factor of importance which, in aquaculture settings, can be easily measured.
