An international consortium led by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR), from the University of Porto (UP), Portugal, has succeeded in producing the first high-fidelity genome of the mackerel. The discovery has just been revealed in an article published in the scientific journal Gigabyte and was possible […]

The saudi company Red Sea Development, known as TRSDC, will begin test production on its planned aquaculture project by the second quarter of this year 2022. The sustainable tourism developer will try “a number of fish species,” Ventures Director Michael Slage said, but the focus will be to farm native […]
By Antonio Garza de Yta, Ph.D. President, World Aquaculture Society (WAS) We are living extremely difficult times where our ability to adapt is more important than ever. During 2021 we had to postpone most of our events, due to COVID restrictions put in place worldwide. I am confident that our […]
By: Iván Ramírez Morales, Ph. D. Leader of R + D + i in Larvia – @larvia_ai @ivaneduramirez A competitive advantage is that distinctive characteristic which places a company in a higher relative position to compete. The clear example in the shrimp industry is related to the countries near the […]
It is often necessary to allow control of variables and high treatment replication for research to improve aquaculture production systems, but results can sometimes be difficult to translate to commercial conditions because of the added complexity of commercial environments. A collaborative three-year project ending in 2021 delivered a sustainable and […]
The developments of aquaculture engineering, mechanization and information technology and equipment construction are seriously lagging behind. Some breeding enterprises in underdeveloped areas are restricted by breeding technology and environmental conditions, breeding germplasm is degraded, enterprises lack good varieties, and aquatic products are of low quality. Aquaculture is facing huge challenges, […]
Aquaculture is one of the human activities that has accelerated the most in the last half of the century. However, climate change and other constraints will undoubtedly challenge future growth of marine aquaculture. It is, therefore, critical to anticipate new opportunities and challenges in marine aquaculture production during the Anthropocene. […]
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 […]
