Combining geophysical fluid dynamics and marine biology, Brian Von Herzen’s visionary technology will soon be tested off the coast of Massachusetts before export to the Indian Ocean. 

The impact of diseases led some Asian shrimp farming countries to develop biofloc and recirculation aquaculture system (RAS) production technologies. Treating incoming water for culture operations and wastewater treatment are biosecurity measures for disease prevention and control. 

South Africa’s marine fish farming industry burned many investors, but the operational experiences aided productivity in intensive aquaculture systems, especially land-based RAS. The time to invest is now. 

Los investigadores han determinado que era necesaria una definición de la "acuacultura mar afuera" para evaluar críticamente los impactos y beneficios de mover las operaciones de piscicultura "ligeramente más lejos y ligeramente más profundo" hacia el mar afuera. 

El cultivo del camarón tierra adentro tiene numerosas ventajas – mejora la bioseguridad, el costo más bajo de la tierra, y reduce los conflictos con otros usuarios de recursos comunes como la tierra y el agua – y seguirá expandiéndose 

The U.S. Soybean Export Council’s farm demonstrations, farmer education efforts and formulated feeds are boosting tilapia production in rural areas of Myanmar, where indigenous carp are more commonly raised. 

An international research effort has commenced to find a solution for Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV), a contagion causing high rates of mortality in farmed and wild tilapia stocks in Israel, Colombia, Ecuador, Egypt and Thailand. 

Tilapia aquaculture in Bangladesh has developed significantly since 1999, based on the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) introduced from Malaysia and on the significant genetic improvement research work by the Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute 

This 10-week feeding trial aimed at complementing existing information on largemouth bass responses to oils with supplemental EPA and DHA. Dietary supplementation of these essential fatty acids may be required in feeds for this species. 

Los sistemas acuícolas deben ser operados con atención a la reducción de la carga de residuos ambientales, lo que requiere el uso de alimentos de alta calidad, la prevención de la sobre-alimentación y el mantenimiento de una buena calidad del 

En este estudio se compararon dos tipos de sistemas de cultivo de camarón bajo techo: RAS de aguas claras y sistemas de biofloc. El RAS de aguas claras tuvo la ventaja en la calidad del agua, y el camarón en 

Grown worldwide, Camelina sativa is a tiny seed used for human consumption that also has big potential for driving the “green” economy. 

Agricultural limestone is widely used to improve pH and alkalinity in aquaculture ponds. There is considerable use of lime in aquaculture to disinfect pond bottoms and water, to attempt to control pH, and various other reasons. 

Shrimp aquafeeds – live, fresh or formulated – should not be an entry point of potential pathogens to the shrimp and/or to their culture systems. 

Agriculture and fisheries have long been aligned with conservation objectives. A newly formed group, CART, aims to do the same for aquaculture. 

Las medidas de bioseguridad y las estrategias preventivas son esenciales en cualquier cadena de producción biológica. Los programas de bioseguridad adecuadamente planificados e implementados mejorarán la sanidad animal, la producción y la economía. 

Ron Stotish, CEO de AquaBounty Technologies, cree que el salmón genéticamente modificado no es una amenaza para sus oponentes y que la perspectiva de AquAdvantage es buena. Con la compra de la instalación RAS de Bell Fish Co., la comercialización 

Inland shrimp culture has numerous advantages – improved biosecurity, lower cost of land and reduced conflicts with other users of common resources like land and water – and will continue to expand into new areas. 

The tenuous fate of a pint-sized porpoise, the critically endangered vaquita, is linked to a fish targeted by poachers fueling China’s appetite for maws. The vaquita remains in peril, but aquaculture presents some hope for the totoaba.
