* By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team Aquaculture is a crucial sector for global food production and trade. Gene editing techniques, particularly clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-Cas9 (CRISPR/Cas9), are transforming the industry by enabling precise genetic modifications in fish species. These advancements enhance disease resistance, growth, and reproduction, making aquaculture more efficient and sustainable. Additionally, RNA interference (RNAi) is emerging as...
* 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 modulates immune-related genes and circular RNAs (circRNAs), boosting immune memory...
* 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 often complementary. Aquaculture is a recent and rapidly growing component...

* 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 oxide than other aquaculture systems, the processes controlling GHG fluxes...
* 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 the challenges that afflict society and, more specifically, the companies...
