By: Salvador Meza* The transition demands substantial investment, a steep learning curve, and conscious decisions in mitigating environmental impacts. As salmon farming moves from the open sea and into land-based systems, it’s worth noting there are several complexities. Today we’ll discuss the primary challenges that this shift brings. Conservationists, seafood […]

By: Josh Rosettani, Marcia Chiasson and Wael Ahmed* One method through which fish farmers can reduce power consumption while improving water quality is replacing conventional technologies used for maintaining water quality with more energy efficient devices such as airlift pumps. This article presents the results of the evaluation of the […]
The escalating intricacy of the aquaculture sector is a subject of noteworthy concern, with a notable emphasis on the observation that the majority of innovations are initiated by suppliers rather than the aquaculture producers themselves. The world aquaculture sector has experienced significant growth in recent decades, with a global production […]
Plastic lining ponds provide better management and healthier environmental conditions. Sulphur cycling bacteria can serve as an indicator of pond environmental conditions. Introduction In aquaculture systems, water quality is largely controlled by microbial biodegradation of organic wastes (Avnimelech et al., 1995; Abraham et al., 2004) through mineralization. In aquatic environments, […]
By: The Fishmonger* In a recent study published by Stanford University, it highlighted that humanity is likely to consume more fish and shellfish in the coming decades and that preparing for that future requires better data on the types of fish that people eat, sustainable expansion of aquaculture and an […]
By: Ph.D. Stephen G. Newman* As the science of aquaculture evolves, there is an increasing trend to move away from non-science-based production models to science-based models. As the science of aquaculture evolves, there is an increasing trend to move away from non-science-based production models to science-based models. Sustainable production depends […]
By: Sarah Cornelisse* For small businesses where there may only be a few people responsible for operating and managing all aspects of the business, dedicating sufficient time to marketing can feel like a chore. With artificial intelligence (AI) tools, however, it is possible to quickly generate content in a matter […]
By: Antonio Garza de Yta, Ph.D. Senior Fisheries & Aquaculture Advisor, AWJ Innovation Recently, in a discussion group, the topic of what is needed to consolidate mariculture on a global scale was raised. Many of us agreed that the future, not only of aquaculture but of the world’s food supply, […]
Aquaculture industry is considered by financial institutions as high risk due to failures caused by epizootics, natural disasters, and poor planning and monitoring. Bioeconomic modeling should be used in aquaculture to plan, monitor and determine cost effectiveness and risk to reduce uncertainty and increase profits from ongoing or new projects. […]
Emerging research on aquaculture governance has pointed to the conundrum of negative global environmental effects from economic incentives for aquaculture production to shift from more highly regulated to less regulated countries. There is evidence that regulatory costs, along with other challenges related to live fish markets, have contributed to the […]
