 * By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team This study examines how microplastic levels and insect-based fish feed (including insects reared on pre-and post-consumer food waste) shape consumer appeal for farmed seabass in Singapore. Using a discrete choice experiment with 600 participants, results show preferences strongly favored conventional wild-fish feed, lower microplastics, and […]

 By Fishprof For millennia coastal communities have harvested seaweed. Quite clearly seaweed is making inroads nowadays into western areas – be that food, beauty products, or medicine. The advent of new important activities and documents on seaweed has determined that FishProf will give you an update. For millennia coastal communities […]

Rosenstiel School Aquaculture Nutrition & Biotechnology Laboratory * By Jorge Suarez, Julio Camperio and Daniel Benetti Too often, decisions related to species selection, feed formulation, ingredient adoption, and investment in new technologies are driven by popularity, market trends, compelling narratives, or short-term availability, rather than by objective and comparable performance criteria. This […]

By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team With modern industrialization and urbanization, global warming has become a serious threat to ecosystems, especially affecting ectothermic animals (those who body temperature depends on the environment), such as fish and shrimp. Unlike mammals, ectotherms are highly sensitive to temperature changes, which influence their distribution, behavior, […]

 * By Antonio Garza de Yta, Ph.D. The idea of producing fish within cities using recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) is appealing: total control minimal water use, biosecurity, traceability, and proximity to the consumer. But, as I have insisted on other occasions, not every proposal being promoted today is viable. The […]

By: Lindsey White Seaweed is having a moment. Whether it’s being hailed as a climate solution, a superfood,or a miracle input for regenerative agriculture, seaweed seems to promise a fix for everything. It’s easy to get swept up in the optimism — but as someone who works on seaweed aquaculture, […]

By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team As aquaculture strives for sustainability, replacing fish  meal in shrimp diets remains a challenge. This study explores an innovative combination of poultry by-product meal, insect meal, rapeseed meal, peanut meal, single-cell protein, and fish waste. Results show improved growth rates, efficient nutrient utilization, and stable […]

By Francisco J. Oficialdegui and Antonín Kouba In recent decades, global aquaculture production has grown substantially  because of rising global food demand and technological advances allowing diversification and intensification. Its rapid global expansion has also resulted in the translocation of species beyond their native ranges. Although non-native farmed species are […]

 By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team The global salmon aquaculture industry increasingly seeks sustainable feed solutions. Krill meal (KM) provides essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, astaxanthin, and choline, improving salmon growth, feed efficiency, and health. In a 116-day field trial, 10% KM diets showed 4.8% higher growth and 22% lower […]

* By Leslie Newmann and Jose I. Curiel The global shrimp industry operates under constant pressure to maximize production while facing the ever-present threat of viral and bacterial pathogens. This article presents a technological breakthrough that was developed after years of research and refinement. This breakthrough achieves the clinical sterility of […]
