Many shrimp producers give only perfunctory attention to routine biosecurity at hatcheries and farms. A cost-effective biosecurity program for farmed shrimp requires reliable diagnostic tools to make timely decisions to control or exclude pathogens. 

Longtime seafood industry analyst and consultant Howard Johnson envisions the new Seafood & Oceans Leadership Institute as a platform for dialogue around critical issues and a way to build stronger networks among industry, government and NGOs. 

The brine shrimp artemia is critical for larval fish and shrimp diets. As aquaculture expands, an effective artificial replacement diet for artemia is a major consideration for the industry. 

La perca de jade cultivada – similar a otras especies de peces cultivados – es sólo rica en ácidos grasos omega-3 si su dieta consiste en estos nutrientes en grandes cantidades. ¿Cómo se compara con el pez silvestre? 

Los cambios en la concentración atmosférica de dióxido de carbono deberían tener poco efecto en el aumento de la concentración de alcalinidad en los sistemas acuícolas. El cambio climático es una preocupación mayor en la acuacultura de agua dulce que 

A proliferation of alternative feed ingredients has allowed aquaculture to extend the natural resources it depends on. AlgaPrime, packed with the long-chain omega-3 fatty acid DHA, is being recognized as a game-changing innovation for aquaculture feeds. 

Some Maine lobster fishermen are turning to aquaculture in a quest to diversify and give defunct lobster pounds a second chance to produce local seafood. 

In eight genetic improvement programs in seven different countries, growth improvements have been constant in all programs, with annual improvement rates between 5 and 12 percent. Improvements in survival rates are less predictable and less consistent. 

India has strengthened its role as a supplier of seafood to major global markets. Pangasius will continue to be an important contributor to the country’s growing aquaculture production. 

Chambo Fisheries, la granja de tanques de biofloc de tilapia más grande del mundo y la granja de tanques más grande de África, tiene un programa de producción secuencial multi-cohorte continua. 

Los "puntos calientes" del océano, según los investigadores de la UCSB, proporcionan espacio suficiente para producir 15.000 millones de toneladas métricas anuales de peces, más de 100 veces el consumo mundial actual de productos de mar.  

Under pressure for environmental impacts during its expansion in the 1990s, shrimp producers and marketplace representatives formed the Global Aquaculture Alliance to hold their industry to higher standards. 

A timeline of key milestones and achievements by the Global Aquaculture Alliance and its third-party aquaculture certification scheme, Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP). 

Fishmeal is still the most nutritious source of protein for aquaculture diets, having a wide range of essential amino acids and a high digestibility, while fish oil is still the only commercially available source of long chain omega-3 for aquaculture 

Building off the success and excitement of the fish-free aquaculture feed cash-prize contest that concludes this fall, the F3 Challenge has set its sights on a new target: fish oil alternatives. 

Changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration should have little effect on rising alkalinity concentration in aquaculture systems. Climate change is of greater concern in freshwater aquaculture than is an increase in alkalinity. 

A medida que aumente la demanda mundial de alimentos, se intensificará el enfoque en los recursos hídricos. En Berlín, un proyecto de investigación de cuatro años está demostrando la viabilidad de la acuaponía, que puede reducir drásticamente las entradas de 

La ciencia nos dice que el ganado y las aves de corral domesticadas no pueden ni comenzar a abordar las necesidades de proteínas a corto plazo de nuestro mundo, y que el cultivo de peces es nuestra mejor opción. Conseguir 

The economic and environmental performance of tilapia biofloc technology systems are compared against other conventional tilapia grow-out production systems, highlighting the merits of BFT as a competitive and sustainable alternative low-cost intensive feedlot technology.
