* 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,...
* By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team Mangrove forests provide critical ecosystem services, including serving as nursery habitats for fish, protecting coastlines from erosion, and supporting local livelihoods. They are also among the most efficient carbon sinks on Earth, storing large amounts of “blue carbon” in deep, organic-rich soils that can retain carbon for centuries. Globally, mangroves store between 3.7 and 20...
By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team Poultry by-product meal is high in protein and has a similar amino acid profile to fish meal. It also lacks any known anti-nutritional factors, making it a promising ingredient for carnivorous fish diets. This article summarizes the results of a study that evaluated the impact of including it in seawater growth diets on the quality...
