The emergence of Artificial Intelligence is driving a profound structural transformation that leaves no room for a passive stance within the industry. To understand how the use of data, digital infrastructure, and systemic integration are indispensable for leading the sector into the future, it is essential to analyze the point of noreturn toward Smart Aquaculture by combining FAO guidelines with...
By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team Shrimp farming faces the challenge of increasing productivity while reducing environmental impacts. This study demonstrates that production model and farming technology strongly influence economic, ecological, and social performance, highlighting integrated multitrophic aquaculture and recirculating systems as the most promising strategies for achieving long-term sustainability, resource efficiency, and resilient shrimp production. Shrimp farming plays a vital...
* By Juan Diego Rodriguez Triana In an era of global environmental strain, efficient resource management dictates aquaculture sustainability. Juan Diego Rodriguez Triana establishes the conceptual foundations of the aquaculture water footprint. By decomposing usage into blue, green, and gray components, this analytical framework maps direct farm consumption alongside indirect supply chain pressures, offering stakeholders a robust, lifecycle-based tool to...
*By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) is a promising species for aquaculture, distributed in subtropical and tropical waters, yet primarily caught through recreational fishing. Notable landings occur in countries like Pakistan, Iran, Malaysia, and Brazil. Cobia’s feeding habits are less understood for juveniles, though they are believed to consume copepods. This species exhibits traits favorable for mariculture, including...
* By FishProf As Associate Professor Tomer Ventura’s research reveals, the definition of success in aquaculture is changing. Moving beyond traditional lagging indicators, advanced genomics allows us to decode the shrimp nervous system and map stress-response genes. This groundbreaking work establishes practical molecular welfare indicators to turn invisible stress into measurable parameters. Ultimately, prioritizing animal welfare becomes a vital business...
Editorial Staff | Aquaculture Magazine Source: Aquaculture Health Committees / ANPLAC · Data 2016–2025 (2025 preliminary) · Own statistical analysis A decade of records allows us to trace, for the first time, the complete trajectory of Mexico's shrimp larval industry: a sector that grew 27.5%, remapped its geography, and set a historic production record in 2025 — with internal dynamics...
