By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team As global aquaculture shifts toward ecological responsibility, Brazil’s nutritional strategies are evolving to reduce reliance on traditional fishmeal through the use of microalgae and plant-derived compounds. This articleexaminesrecentresearchonmacroalgaeandbioactivepeptides as pillars of a resilient production system. By prioritizing gut health and immune modulation, these advancements offer a sustainable framework for optimizing fish welfare and long-term environmental health....
* By FishProf FishProf has been studying the Association for Consumer Research (ACR) reports regarding seafood and the impacts of fraud on consumer trust. ACR brings together researchers from universities, government, and industry to deepen understanding of everyday decision-making, including how culture, identity, and context shape what ends up on our plates. For seafood, that means behavioral studies on trust,...
* By Antonio Garza de Yta, Ph.D. Aquaculture has proved it can grow fish; now it must prove it can grow confidence. The missing link isn’t biological, it’s finance, insurance, and risk transparency. Until capital providers can see and price risk reliably, the sector will remain capital constrained and underinsured. Aquaculture has proved it can grow fish; now it must...
* By Stephen Newman, Ph.D. This technical analysis by Dr. Stephen Newman evaluates the strategic role of microbial amendments in global aquaculture. By distinguishing between environmental bioremediation and "true" probiotics, the study highlights the superior efficacy of spore-based Bacillus species. It provides a science-based framework for monitoring product performance, emphasizing enzyme profiles over spore counts to ensure operational success and...
By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team Modern aquaculture, particularly tilapia farming, is experiencing a period of high technical demands. Rather than merely seeking to increase production volumes, producers now seek stability, predictability, and consistent results that allow them to plan their operations with less risk. In this context, the maturation and reproduction phase has become one of the most critical aspects...
* By FishProf FishProf noticed something quietly confronting in the global conversations emerging from Davos 2026: capital markets are beginning to treat food securitynotasasocialissue,butasamatter of economic and geopolitical stability. Food is being repriced — not because it is scarce today, but because systems that deliver it are fragile, inefficient, and poorly governed. This shift should ring alarm bells in many countries,...
