* By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team In this discussion, Dr. Antonio Garza de Yta outlines Aquaculture 4.0 as the shift from fragmented farming to integrated, data-driven systems. By connecting infrastructure, data, and value chain integration, the industry can eliminate operational uncertainty, reveal unseen biological risks, and unlock large-scale structured finance. This framework provides an essential roadmap for scaling global aquaculture...
* By Ph.D. Stephen Newman As global aquaculture surpasses 100 million metric tons, the shift toward evolving production paradigms is no longer optional but essential for sustainability. This analysis explores how traditional methods are giving way to advanced technological frameworks, including precision genetic selection and automated husbandry. By redefining these core operational standards, the industry can ensure long-term ecological balance while...
* By Fabio Cervellione and Ketil Christensen Navigating sustainability expectations and regulatory compliance in aquaculture requires a structured, multi-layered strategy. Through an integrated ecosystem of global innovation centers, veterinarians, and cutting-edge digital tools, Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health delivers validated, field-proven solutions. This unified approach transforms raw farm data into proactive execution, ensuring stronger biological resilience and sustainable business growth....
* By Stephen Newman El Niño impacts Ecuadorian shrimp farming directly through environmental changes and indirectly via fishmeal availability. Heavy rains, flooding, and higher disease risks threaten productivity. Projections suggest this could be one of the strongest events in recorded history. To ensure minimal disruption, farmers must take a measured response and spend resources to minimize preventable impacts before the...
By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team Beyond every successful harvest lies a delicate equilibrium between high productivity and... ecological integrity. Functional feed additives like probiotics and prebiotics are currently redefining the industry by significantly enhancing growth, immunity, and feed efficiency. Adopting these “superfoods” allows producers to reduce reliance on wildcaught fish meal and antibiotics, securing a breakthrough for both longterm profitability...
* By Brian Vinci, George Chamberlain, Robins McIntosh, Riley Krohn, Sujit Kaewchum, Antonio Santa Marta and Robert Jones Super-intensive shrimp farming demands robust infrastructure to handle solids like uneaten feed and molts. This article explores the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to narrow down design options for 16- and 36-meter circular tanks. The results demonstrate that while self-cleaning hydraulics...
