OTAQ Group, an expert in marine technology solutions for the global aquaculture and offshore energy industries, has announced that it has been appointed as the new technology supplier to Chilean company Salmones Antartica S.A. (SASA), for integrated water quality measurement equipment to various farming sites, over a complete farming cycle. […]
By: Sarah Cornelisse* You may be familiar with the saying, “you cannot manage what you don’t measure.” As with all aspects of your business, this applies to your digital marketing activities as well. To measure digital marketing performance and determine its success you must understand analytics. You need to decide […]
by Antonio Garza de Yta, Ph.D. President, World Aquaculture Society (WAS) After long waiting for a rescheduling and many fears faced, the World Aquaculture Conference WA2021 will finally take place in Merida, from May 24 to 27, 2022. I do not think I can put into words what this event […]
Aquabounty, the world leader in innovative land-based farms and genetic engineering, is taking on the challenge of growing salmon using genetic biotechnology, but also with a recirculating system for indoor aquaculture. They are building a new facility to achieve tons of sustainable production to meet the rapidly growing global demand […]
Shrimps are one of the fastest-growing commodities in aquaculture and have a considerable land footprint. Their production exists on a continuum from “extensive” to “intensive”. Here is an exploration of the impact of utilizing different production methods: extensive vs intensive for expanding shrimp production on the cumulative land footprint of […]
In the aquaculture system, the microbial community plays a significant role in providing additional feed, enhancing nutrient utilization efficiency, reducing anoxic conditions, and minimizing environmental impacts. Several forms of Silicon (Si) are commonly presented in natural water as monosilicic acid and polysilicic acid. This research aimed to evaluate the concentrations […]
The Aquaculture sector continues growing and making important contributions to world food supplies. However, it is required to focus on the good practices related to fish-feed use, manufacturing, and quality to ensure this expansion in a socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable manner. This article guides from a holistic approach to […]
Nature-identical compounds (NICs) are new biotechnological feed additives to strengthen and stimulate the fish immune system to prevent and/or control diseases. In this review are presented the most recent studies in which NICs compounds have been used in the fish diet to establish their use and contribute to carrying out […]
Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising solution opening the door to new possibilities. Besides conventional toxicological assays, scientists are also using cellular cytotoxicity, apoptosis as well as bioinformatics based interactive tools to narrate nanotoxicity and its remediation applying green nanoparticles in bacteria and fish model. Intensive aquaculture practice leads to […]
