Based on the question of how much food we can sustainably obtain from the sea by 2050, an analysis of the main food-producing sectors in the sea is presented: wild fisheries, finfish mariculture and bivalve mariculture. From this, encouraging curves emerge for sustainable supply, taking into account ecological, economic, regulatory, […]

The selected aerator for aquaculture operations must be economically efficient and should be able to fulfil the requirement of oxygen supply in the pond water. Here we present a study of economic feasibility of nine different types of aerators using life cycle costing (LCC) approach. The recommended option can be […]

In the first quarter of this year, FAO presented the biennial report “SOFIA 2022” with the analysis and relevant conclusions of the information collected in 2020. In this article, Aquaculture Magazine editors summarize the “key messages” the World Agency is sending with this report. In the first quarter of this […]
