Archetypes of aquaculture development across 150 countries

Views 7 Views
Aquaculture is expanding and intensifying globally, with implications for environmental, livelihood, food security and nutrition impacts. Here we present an integration of 45 country-level indicators to examine the social, economic, governance and environmental conditions shaping aquaculture development across 150 countries and four identified archetypes of aquaculture through cluster analysis. Understanding the social, economic, environmental and governance factors guiding current aquaculture...

Total ammonia nitrogen removal and microbial community dynamics in an outdoor HDPE-lined shrimp pond with no water discharge

Views 26 Views
Accumulations of ammonia and nitrite are commonly observed in outdoor lined ponds, and elevated concentrations of these compounds during shrimp culture in a zero-water exchange system can cause shrimp mortality. Here are presented findings that enable estimations of total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) removal and oxygen net primary production (NPP) rates in an outdoor lined shrimp pond. Outdoor aquaculture systems play...

“Technification” and its role in intensification

Views 57 Views
By: Ph.D. Stephen G. Newman* Many ask why Ecuador is able to produce so much shrimp and why are they able to produce them so inexpensively? While questions of this nature rarely have a single simple explanation, it is more than likely that most of them are the result of the adoption of technology. Some are using the term technification...
