This year 2022, the Norwegian company Stolt Sea Farm celebrates its 50th anniversary having successfully built a global presence and become a leader in its sector. The company was established in Norway in 1972 and now has operations in five countries, with presence also in Spain, Portugal, Iceland and France. […]
Following the first tests of industrial prototypes, the European Union (EU)-funded Biogears project has concluded that it is possible to manufacture bio-strings for mussel and algae culture as an innovative solution for environmentally friendly offshore aquaculture. The initiative aims to provide Europe’s aquaculture sector with bio-based ropes that contribute to […]
Efficient disease management and mitigation strategies are not possible without understanding the immunological aspects of the cultured animal. During the larval stage, fishes are easily susceptible to a wide range of stressors and diseases; hence improving survival during the earlier stage is crucial and beneficial to aquaculture production. Stress is […]
Despite a robust literature, there is little consensus on a definition of ‘sustainability’, nor on systems and farming practices that are ‘sustainable’. While US aquaculture is practiced in a highly sustainable way, the pressure from continuous population growth requires that resources be used in increasingly efficient ways. Encouraging farms to […]
Due to its physical, natural and social characteristics, Mexico has a real potential to be a leader in aquaculture. Most of the aquaculture production for this species, with more than 200 aquaculture plants in Sonora. This study focuses on the application of LCA + DEA methodology to assess the ecoefficiency […]
Microalgae play a pertinent role in nutrition of larvae and are carrier of indigenous bacteria associated with the microalgae in a microalgae– bacterial interaction. Microalgae plus bacteria combinations such as Isochrysis galbana and Alteromonas sp., Labrezia sp. and Marinobacter sp., resulted in a better total length, survival, and metamorphosis from […]
The causative agent of acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is the bacterium, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which secretes toxins into the gastrointestinal tract of its host. V. parahaemolyticus toxins A and B (PirAvp/PirBvp) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of this disease, and are, therefore, the focuses of studies developing treatments for […]
White shrimp production units are commonly affected by diseases entailing high morbidity and mortality rates, such as BMS. In this framework, this study aimed to estimate the genotype-by-environment interaction for and survival to harvest (SH) in the presence and absence of white spot syndrome (WSS) in two genetic lines of […]
According to a report by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Soc Trang, in 2021, the province’s total seafood production is estimated at 339,082 tons, exceeding 4.98% of the plan, up 4.24% over the same period. In which, aquaculture production is 271,257 tons, exceeding 6.7% of the plan, […]
