The effects of the dietary acidifier and feed additive potassium diformate (KDF) were tested in diets of juvenile Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) in Thailand. Results show that including KDF at 0.5 percent in the diets can help improve growth, survival and therefore overall production of this species. 

Hubbs-SeaWorld Re­­search Institute and Universidad Autónoma de Baja California are working to produce improved broodstock diets for white sea bass and totoaba. 

As befits a futuristic eco-city, there are very bold, very green plans for Neom, Saudi Arabia’s mega-territory being built alongside the Red Sea. 

The federal funding will be spread across four strategic areas to improve U.S. aquaculture, informed by science and community needs. 

A team of engineers and specialists has built an intensive shrimp farm in Saudi Arabia, proving sustainability doesn’t have to adversely affect profitability. 

As seen through the GAIN project, adopting precision aquaculture tools improve feeding strategies and preventative measures for sea bass. 

A well-documented ecological regime shift in the Northeast Atlantic did not have a large impact on salmon post-smolts’ diets in Norwegian fjords. 

Farming sea cucumbers – known as sea slugs in China – is changing people’s lives, giving rural workers in Madagascar a potential pathway out of poverty. 

Bill Mook’s oyster farm is adapting to more frequent and intense rains, more acidic and warming seawater and other challenges that climate change brings. 

Red-banded sea bream could be farmed in systems designed for other sparid species. The authors’ facilities have achieved spontaneous spawning. 

Aquaculture often fails to enhance productivity and competitiveness with genetic improvement, perhaps due to uncertainty over which methods should be used. 

Erecting permanent structures in open coastal waters, like fish farms, requires planning, direction and, most likely, the grant of private property rights. 

Live foods and insect meal-based diets can be effective feed ingredients for larval sea trout with good results on growth and survival. 

Sea urchin aquaculture venture Urchinomics has opened a sea urchin-ranching site in Nagato, Japan, in partnership with seafood processor Maruyama Suisan. 

Experimental bait using marine byproducts was tested by SINTEF researchers in a Barents Sea snow crab fishery. 

Copernicus – the European Space Agency’s €4.3 billion Earth Observation System – holds potential benefits for fisheries and aquaculture. The SAFI project is approaching the aquaculture sector about harnessing, and montetizing, this unique service from up above. 

Organoleptic attributes such as flavor and aroma are among the most important factors that influence consumer acceptability and demand for fish products. Consumers have identified farmed fish as less complex and lacking “sealike” or “sea-fresh” flavors and aromas. 

With Norwegian knowledge and a partnership with Mitsubishi, Urchinomics aims to turn worthless empty urchins into valuable seafood while restoring kelp forests and creating jobs.
