As the demand for aquaculture products increases, so does the search for environmentally friendly alternatives to antibiotics. Alternatives to antibiotics include dietary prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics. 

This study examined differences in fish performance and water quality dynamics between biofloc, clear water and hybrid systems as nurseries for tilapia. 

Trials with recirculating shrimp nursery systems in India supported the use of biofloc. To control ammonia is a way to reduce filtration costs. 

For entrepreneurs in the Hatch accelerator program, the process of attracting investors to herald a new growth curve is an intense and immersive one. 

The influence of antibiotics in fish and their effects on the gut microbiome aren’t well understood, says research team examining antimicrobial resistance. 

A commercial corn ethanol production byproduct (syrup) was used as a bacterial growth medium with the long-term aim to repurpose the resulting microbial biomass as a protein supplement in aquaculture feeds. 

A group of NGOs and businesses is developing tools and interfaces aimed at helping farmers reduce disease outbreaks both individually and at the area level. 

Hydrolyzed fish byproducts can serve as highly digestible feed ingredients with significant amounts of amino acids and fatty acids. 

In a technology transfer, a semi-abandoned hatchery for black tiger shrimp in Indonesia was remade with applied hatchery methods refined in the West with white shrimp. 

RAS technology can be applied to shrimp culture. The author developed a small-scale prototype RAS for shrimp larval culture that successfully reared monodon nauplii to PL15. 

A properly designed fluidized-bed filtration system increases hatchery output by providing a chemically stable, high-quality water supply.
