Regulatory outbreaks reach the aquaculture sector with the same logic as sanitary ones: no warning, a clearly identifiable causal agent, and a predictable propagation map. Five algorithmic governance regulations are landing on Latin American aquaculture operations at the same time.

* By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team In this discussion, Dr. Antonio Garza de Yta outlines Aquaculture 4.0 as the shift from fragmented farming to integrated, data-driven systems. By connecting infrastructure, data, and value chain integration, the industry can eliminate operational uncertainty, reveal unseen biological risks, and unlock large-scale structured finance. […]

* By Ph.D. Stephen Newman As global aquaculture surpasses 100 million metric tons, the shift toward evolving production paradigms is no longer optional but essential for sustainability. This analysis explores how traditional methods are giving way to advanced technological frameworks, including precision genetic selection and automated husbandry. By redefining these core […]

* By Fabio Cervellione and Ketil Christensen Navigating sustainability expectations and regulatory compliance in aquaculture requires a structured, multi-layered strategy. Through an integrated ecosystem of global innovation centers, veterinarians, and cutting-edge digital tools, Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health delivers validated, field-proven solutions. This unified approach transforms raw farm data into […]

* By Stephen Newman El Niño impacts Ecuadorian shrimp farming directly through environmental changes and indirectly via fishmeal availability. Heavy rains, flooding, and higher disease risks threaten productivity. Projections suggest this could be one of the strongest events in recorded history. To ensure minimal disruption, farmers must take a measured […]

By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team Beyond every successful harvest lies a delicate equilibrium between high productivity and… ecological integrity. Functional feed additives like probiotics and prebiotics are currently redefining the industry by significantly enhancing growth, immunity, and feed efficiency. Adopting these “superfoods” allows producers to reduce reliance on wildcaught fish […]

* By Brian Vinci, George Chamberlain, Robins McIntosh, Riley Krohn, Sujit Kaewchum, Antonio Santa Marta and Robert Jones Super-intensive shrimp farming demands robust infrastructure to handle solids like uneaten feed and molts. This article explores the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to narrow down design options for 16- and […]

By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team As global demand for seafood continues to rise, aquaculture faces increasing pressure to optimize production systems while maintaining sustainability. Operational excellence in intensive shrimp farming is directly linked to pond design and environmental control. This study reveals that highdensity polyethylene (HDPE)-lined systems achieve a 133% […]

By Dr. Antonio Garza de Yta As climate variability increases, looking “beyond the pond” is no longer optional for capital-intensive production. Satellite applications provide scale and continuity, allowing stakeholders to estimate chlorophyll, nutrients, and turbidity. This digital infrastructure layer supports better feeding strategies and coordinated environmental governance, shifting the paradigm […]
