Microalgae play a pertinent role in nutrition of larvae and are carrier of indigenous bacteria associated with the microalgae in a microalgae– bacterial interaction. Microalgae plus bacteria combinations such as Isochrysis galbana and Alteromonas sp., Labrezia sp. and Marinobacter sp., resulted in a better total length, survival, and metamorphosis from […]

The causative agent of acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is the bacterium, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which secretes toxins into the gastrointestinal tract of its host. V. parahaemolyticus toxins A and B (PirAvp/PirBvp) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of this disease, and are, therefore, the focuses of studies developing treatments for […]
White shrimp production units are commonly affected by diseases entailing high morbidity and mortality rates, such as BMS. In this framework, this study aimed to estimate the genotype-by-environment interaction for and survival to harvest (SH) in the presence and absence of white spot syndrome (WSS) in two genetic lines of […]
The condition described as monodon slow growth syndrome (MSGS) has been reported from many countries. Though not leading to mortality, retarded growth at the pond level results in significant economic losses. This review focused on several key syndromic conditions that the sector is facing and discuss how new approaches to […]
Shrimp farming has been widely criticized for excessive use of various resources and especially for coastal wetlands as farm sites. The purpose of this study was to assess the amounts of land, water, energy in fuels, and wild fish for fishmeal and fish oil in feeds required per ton of […]
Fulfilling the potential of aquaculture to contribute positively to food system transformation will require better accounting of the environmental performance of different types of production systems, and interventions that facilitate upscaling of aquatic farming to support sustainable diets. We contend that the existing literature overlooks large ‘‘performance gaps’’ in existing […]
Infection in Nile tilapia Farms with Emphasis on its Effect on Growth Performance. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a G-ve bacterium causing diseases threat the animals, poultry and fish resources. Extracts of plants or their by-products contain some exclusive compounds that can be effective as chemotherapists and vaccines. The yucca has been […]
By: The fishmonger * You know what they say – ‘If you are not leading then you are following’ and that would often apply to many people and organisations in the seafood industry. Sad but true! The Fishmonger did not attend COP21 in Glasgow, besides not being invited he finds […]
by Amy Stone* As things continue to heat up in the Aquaculture Industry in the United States, it is becoming more and more important to understand the key pieces to success. One piece to being successful is to avoid waste. As we all know, the lower the production costs, the […]
By: Yedod Snir Preface RAS provides us with an alternative to ponds, cages and wild catch. In RAS we grow Seafood on land, with minimum resources and isolated from the Environment. The growing demand for seafood and protein to feed the billions of people on earth and the scarcity of […]
