* Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team Aquaculture is revolutionizing global food production, surpassing fisheries as the main seafood source. However, concerns persist regarding its environmental impact and social equity. Using the Aquaculture Performance Indicators (APIs), this study evaluates 57 aquaculture systems across 19 dimensions, revealing that economic, social andenvironmental sustainability are […]

By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team Shrimp aquaculture faces significant challenges from bacterial and viral diseases like acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). Recent research highlights the potential of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (FD-LAB) as a dietary immunostimulant to enhance shrimp immunity. Transcriptome analysis revealed that FD-LAB supplementation […]

* By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team Aquatic food production, including shrimp farming, contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A study on Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp ponds in China explored strategies to reduce emissions, such as liming pond water to alter CO2 levels. While shrimp ponds emit lower methane and nitrous […]

* By David Ulloa Walker Just as salmon swim against the current to return to their place of origin, it is also necessary to return to the basics, to the fundamental principles that govern natural phenomena, and from this understanding to move on to the search for practical solutions to […]

In all visions we can find great ideas and opportunities… The diversity […]

* By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team In a groundbreaking 95-day study, researchers explored the  potential of replacing traditional fishmeal with enzymatic  hydrolysate of poultry by-product meal (EHPB) in the diets of juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). The experiment tested five different diets, gradually reducing fishmeal content while increasing EHPB. The study […]

* By: Stephen Newman Antibiotics are chemicals that interfere with  microbial (bacterial and fungal) metabolic processes, altering their fitness to survive. The proper use of antibiotics, largely ignored not just for aquaculture but in the treatment of humans as well, entails isolating the bacteria responsible for a given disease outbreak. […]

* By Dimitris Pafras and Thodoris Antoniou Climate change is an urgent challenge that requires international cooperation. Since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, the role of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and carbon has been emphasized. It is estimated that if emissions are not significantly reduced by 2030, global temperature […]

By FishProf The FishProf questions why we are allowing such bad practices in aquaculture/seafood and suggests that we all be more proactive in our industry to eliminate bad practices and poor attitudes that impact trust in the whole supply chain. The aquaculture industry is constantly in the media for the […]

  By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team Shrimp is the most-consumed seafood product in the United States, yet research into the short-weighting and mislabeling of shrimp in the commercial market is limited. This study investigated Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) compliance, species authentication, market names, net weights, and glaze percentages in […]
