By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team Aquaculture is an expanding sector crucial for global food security. Traditional earthen ponds used in shrimp farming often encounter issues like water leakage, biosecurity, and performance variability. To overcome these challenges, innovative technologies like cross laminated polyethylene geomembrane liners have been developed, significantly enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of shrimp farming. Implementing these solutions ensures...

Written by the Editorial Team of Aquaculture Magazine To fulfil the future demands of seafood protein, aquaculture must promote its sustainable development. Consequently, it was evaluated the effect of the inclusion in feed formulation of commercially available protein meals alternative to fishmeal on fish growth performance and digestibility of diets, and the dietary effect on the quality of feces, with...
Written by the Editorial Team of Aquaculture Magazine There is evidence that dietary additives can stimulate the shrimp immune system, but few studies have focused on the initial developmental stages. Findings suggest that tailored diets including health-promoting additives as vitamins C and E and β-glucans may address some of the larviculture problems and may contribute to the success of whiteleg...
