Nature-identical compounds (NICs) are new biotechnological feed additives to strengthen and stimulate the fish immune system to prevent and/or control diseases. In this review are presented the most recent studies in which NICs compounds have been used in the fish diet to establish their use and contribute to carrying out […]

Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising solution opening the door to new possibilities. Besides conventional toxicological assays, scientists are also using cellular cytotoxicity, apoptosis as well as bioinformatics based interactive tools to narrate nanotoxicity and its remediation applying green nanoparticles in bacteria and fish model. Intensive aquaculture practice leads to […]

Agriculture is one of the most important industries in the world and an essential sector in economic growth, but it is being affected by factors such as climate change, more recently the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Ukraine-Russia war. This fact creates uncertainty about the future of food production. This article […]

Preservation of the genetic heritage of the many aquatic species now entering the food supply through aquaculture is a growing challenge. The controversial on consumer acceptance of the AquAdvantage salmon, one of only three genetically modified (GM) animals approved for human consumption by the FDA is a key example. This […]

Freshwater fish farming plays an important role in aquaculture production. This work combines three main components, aquatic recirculation system, solar water treatment, and photovoltaic plan system, which shape an integrated system that supports the sustainability of Camarones River, a desert climate location in the northern region of Chile. Fish is […]

Using a simple model of differentiated Cournot competition with endogenous choice of product variety, we find that innovation in one variety may lead to a decrease in product diversity in the catch-up phase, eventually decreasing the profit of the innovator and of all other producers. Innovation and catch-up in the […]

As in other agriculture industry, the olive and olive oil industry produce large number of by-products. One of the solutions to fully utilized olive oil by-products is by using it as an ingredient in animal feed including fish. This review was done to look into the opportunities and challenges of […]

Aquaculture is remarkably one of the most promising industries among the food-producing industries in the world. Antibiotics are usually present at sub therapeutic levels in the aquaculture environment, which increases the selective pressure on the resistant bacteria and stimulates resistant gene transfer in the aquatic environment. This review suggests an […]

Ammonia is a problematic environmental toxicant for aquatic species. Research results indicate how Yucca schidigera extract (YSE) alleviated the adverse impacts induced by ammonia intoxication in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) through its effects on growth performance, hemato-biochemical and antioxidant-related parameters, and histopathological changes. In this sense, YSE could be […]

By: Ph.D Stephen G. Newman* Science is a powerful tool for understanding how the world we live in works. This knowledge, when used wisely, has had, and will continue to have dramatic impacts on human welfare. Unfortunately, it can be challenging for the layman and even for many scientists to […]
