Nutrient recycling and circular economies can support sustainable intensification of aquaculture, part 2
Whether aquaculture can meet global seafood demand depends on the impacts of variables like climate change and marine ecosystem stability.
Small is big: Unlocking the hidden potential of microbes for aquaculture
Microbial populations have diverse roles – many still not fully understood – on aquaculture organisms, from the gut to the gills, and a better understanding of this hidden world could unlock a potential that may change the practice of aquaculture altogether.
Aquaculture’s solid opportunity on The Rock
As aquaculture grows in Newfoundland, the socioeconomic future of this Canadian province with a population of 500,000 takes flight with it. It's a welcome development, after a two-decade slump due in part to the downturn of North Atlantic groundfish stocks.
Water use in aquaculture
Because aquaculture is a water-intensive endeavor, conservationists have begun to inquire about the possibility of excessive water use in aquaculture.
