Gotta halve it: Inside the Chilean salmon industry’s efforts to slash antibiotic usage
Innovations in broodstock, farm and production management could cut antibiotic usage by Chile’s salmon farming industry by 50 percent in five years.
Canadians largely support ocean-based salmon farming, yet farms are being shut down
Amid a dizzying landscape of passions and politics, a recent survey showed the confusing messages Canadians are getting about salmon farming.
Can leftover lumpfish be used to feed small king crabs?
A Nofima trial explores whether whole or processed lumpfish can boost the appetite and feed intake in small king crabs.
Novel alternatives like bacteriocins take the lead as future antibiotics replacements for aquaculture
Machine learning technology and novel alternatives like bacteriocins are unlocking a new era of tackling disease and antibiotic use in aquaculture.
B.C. First Nations release scientific review of salmon farming in British Columbia
The 500-page collaborative review sheds light on salmon farming in British Columbia, covering everything from sea lice to fish health.
Survey: Consumers in Catalonia accept farmed sea bream, vary on form
In a survey of 160 consumers of gilthead sea bream in Catalonia, Spain, farmed bream were generally well accepted by consumers, who preferred fresh to frozen product. Price was a significant attribute. Duty consumers, the largest group, ate fish mainly for health-related reasons.
The seafood technology we didn’t know we needed: a sea urchin vacuum
An Indigenous business operating in Atlantic Canada is testing a sea urchin vacuum developed by C Robotics to improve harvesting efficiency.
Genomic audit to inform fishery and conservation management of the Fijian sandfish
Reporting key insights into the genetic structure and connectivity of Fijian sandfish but more research is needed for conservation and management.
Precision fish farming: A new framework to improve aquaculture, Part 1
A review of technology usage in finfish aquaculture, future application possibilities for precision fish farming (PFF) and guidelines for research.
Sea bream price integration along value chain in Spain
Work by the authors analyzed price competition for farmed sea bream from Greece, Turkey and Spain across the value chain.
Portuguese research studies meagre production in earthen ponds
The meagre is a fast-growing fish species with good feed conversion that is a candidate for expanded aquaculture in the Mediterranean. The challenges of a lengthy adaption to captivity and susceptibility to external parasites are being addressed, and wild-caught broodstock now spawn regularly.
Sandfish, profitable sea cucumbers, also supply bioremediation
Sandfish, a high-value sea cucumber, supports the aquaculture of other fish species by cleaning up waste on the bottoms of ponds or sea cages.
Macronutrient research in aquaculture nutrition
Proteins, lipids and carbohydrates require equal consideration for aquafeed formulators, as each macronutrient influences performance and feed conversion.
Productor de ostras de Maine observa el cambio climático y aprende a adaptarse
La granja de ostras de Bill Mook se está adaptando a las lluvias más frecuentes e intensas, al agua de mar más ácida y cálida, y a otros desafíos que conlleva el cambio climático.
Integrated marine aquaculture-agriculture: Sea farming out of the sea
Aquaponic systems are robust, management is not difficult, and the synergies between fish and plants make vegetable production more profitable than aquaculture alone. The lion’s share of marine agriculture involves salt-tolerant halophytic plants used as food or feed, or in energy production.
Spotted sea trout studies identify nutrition requirements, benefit of exercise
The authors performed nutrition studies to determine a maximized efficiency of yield in spotted sea trout. Fry were “forced” to swim against a steady current to gauge the effectiveness of increased exercise.
Evaluating seaweed, formulated diet on growth, gonad quality of sea urchins
An evaluation of the effects of fresh seaweed diets and manufactured feeds on growth and gonad quality of adult, wild collector sea urchins.
Putting IUU fishing on the map: Global Fishing Watch intends to bring the invisible into view
With $60 million in Audacious Project funding, the IUU fishing watchdogs aim to leverage AI and satellite data to halt illegal activity at sea.
