Written by the Editorial Team of Aquaculture Magazine To fulfil the future demands of seafood protein, aquaculture must promote its sustainable development. Consequently, it was evaluated the effect of the inclusion in feed formulation of commercially available protein meals alternative to fishmeal on fish growth performance and digestibility of diets, […]
Written by the Editorial Team of Aquaculture Magazine There is evidence that dietary additives can stimulate the shrimp immune system, but few studies have focused on the initial developmental stages. Findings suggest that tailored diets including health-promoting additives as vitamins C and E and β-glucans may address some of the […]
Written by the Editorial Team of Aquaculture Magazine Feed-food competition is a current but unsustainable practice in aquaculture, where resources are allocated to feed humans to animal feed instead. This study analyzes feed-food competition in aquaculture using natural trophic levels (TLs) and species-specific human-edible protein conversion ratios (HePCRs). In the […]
Written by the Editorial Team of Aquaculture Magazine One of the main challenges for the expansion of shrimp culture is securing the supply of balanced feeds, which in turn can represent more than 50% of the production costs. In this context, here are presented findings that contributes to a better […]

Today, we will discuss some factors to consider and/or strategies we can adopt to boost mariculture globally. […]
By: Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team* In intensive shrimp culture, oxygen consumption of shrimp is an important indicator that greatly affects the physiological condition of shrimp as a reared organism. Here the results of a research that aimed to dynamically determine the oxygen consumption of shrimp in intensive culture as well […]
