Sea urchin aquaculture: From laboratory to production
The gonads of male and female sea urchins is considered a delicacy. A strong market value for quality uni make urchins an excellent aquaculture candidate.
Aquaculture could enhance Mediterranean Sea urchin fishery
Although researchers in several countries are working to enhance sea urchin fisheries or commercial production, the development of a major commercial industry has been restrained by the lack of cost-effective production technology.
Sea lice control: Perspectives from Chile
Sea lice are a significant threat to the Chilean salmon-farming industry. Chilean salmon farmers also understand that prevention and good management practices based on biosecurity measures are the best tools to minimize outbreaks of disease.
Detection and quantification of sea lice using eDNA around aquaculture locations
Novel study uses fully automated L. salmonis eDNA quantification for autonomous water sample analysis of gene targets to monitor parasitic loads.
Is deep-water aquaculture the way for salmon farmers to beat sea lice?
AKVA Group says recent trials reveal low sea lice numbers and reduced treatments when using its deep-water aquaculture technology.
Scotland wins bid to host international sea lice summit
Scotland will host the biennial International Sea Lice Conference in 2024, after a successful bid led by SAIC.
Could holographic cameras and AI technology lead to an early warning system for sea lice in the ocean?
Researchers are exploring the use of underwater holographic cameras and artificial intelligence technology to identify sea lice in the ocean.
The odd wedge sea hare is useful as an ‘algae cleaner’
Marine gastropod molluscs known as sea hares are relatively unknown animals that have significant importance in biomedical research due to their particular nervous system. And because of their ability to consume large amounts of algae, they can be very useful in clearwater, marine aquaculture systems.
Combined effects of nutritional, biochemical, environmental stimuli on gilthead sea bream
Study evaluates effects of holding temperature and low fish oil diets with dietary genistein on several production parameters for gilthead sea bream.
A quality project for sea bream, sea bass
In trials, finishing diets improved the appearance of sea bass and sea bream with equivalent or higher performance than that achieved with standard grow-out diets.
R&D collaboration to explore using AI to count sea lice
The Danish Technological Institute and Benchmark Genetics are exploring the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to count sea lice on salmon.
Testing alternative diet compositions to offer more sustainable feed formulations for European sea bass
Alternative diets using novel plant and animal-derived protein sources have comparable performance to current commercial sea bass feeds.
Sea cucumbers enhance IMTA system with abalone, kelp in China
In the authors’ recent study, sea cucumbers were added directly to abalone cages with no modifications of the culture equipment to form a simple, low-cost IMTA production system.

Give and take: Aquaculture in a future of rising sea levels
With rising sea levels inevitable, aquaculture faces existential uncertainties and confronts its own contributions to the problem.
Scientists are developing a new ‘groundbreaking’ oral vaccine for sea lice in farmed Atlantic salmon
A new oral vaccine using reverse vaccinology and artificial intelligence may help with sea lice challenges faced by the aquaculture industry.
Tropical sea cucumber culture
Advances in the culture of sea cucumber species are countering the overexploitation of wild populations. Protocols for intensive hatchery production are well established, and juvenile production efficiency has improved.
Gene editing eyed as a potential sea lice solution
A Nofima-led study is exploring the possibilities of using gene editing to make salmon more resistant to sea lice.
