It is used as a feed ingredient to reduce ammonia levels […]
By: Alfred Sayila, Zambia Southern Africa Through the ministry of fisheries and livestock, the government in Zambia has crafted a policy that will guide the future development of aquaculture in the country. However, elections this upcoming August are likely to slow down the momentum to implement the Fisheries and Aquaculture […]

By: Cristóbal Domínguez-Borbor, Aminael Sánchez-Rodríguez, Stanislaus Sonnenholzner, and Jenny Rodríguez * The purpose of this study was to identify specifically essential oils (EOs) that can interfere with the QS of known pathogenic vibrios in P. vannamei farming. Despite its significant growth, the shrimp farming industry has constantly been hit by […]
Identifying new diseases or infections in livestock is key to isolating the problem and reducing losses. But ensuring the information is shared with producers and organizations to stop an epidemic can be difficult. That’s particularly true in the trout industry, which is relatively young in Idaho and has not developed […]
By Dallas Weaver, Ph.D.* There is an inherent food conversion efficiency advantage of aquaculture over terrestrial meat production, based upon the fact that aquatic animals don’t have to expend energy to stand up or keep warm. This fact, combined with the coming 3 billion more people, as well as the […]
