By: Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team* In intensive shrimp culture, oxygen consumption of shrimp is an important indicator that greatly affects the physiological condition of shrimp as a reared organism. Here the results of a research that aimed to dynamically determine the oxygen consumption of shrimp in intensive culture as well as the variables of water quality and shrimp growth based...
By: Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team* The importance of the size of white leg shrimp has been previously reported, where a strong correlation was found between size and metabolome data. Here we present a metabolomics approach to elucidate the importance of count size in commercial penaeid shrimps: white leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) and black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). The advancement of...
By: Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team Replacing fish meal in the feeds using various conventional and non-conventional protein sources has been the core subject of several studies. In this context, growth and digestibility trials were undertaken to evaluate a single cell protein (SCP) produced from methane-oxidizing bacteria Methylococcus capsulatus (String Bio, Bengaluru, India) as a replacement for fishmeal in the diets...
Rendering is essential in producing sustainable animal feed ingredients and pet food as well as many nonfood products consumers use every day playing a vital role in environmental sustainability worldwide. This article highlights show Rendering is highly sustainable; “Rendering is Recycling/Upcycling” and supports the three pillars of sustainability: Environmental, Social, Economic. Agricultural Rendering will be referred to as “rendering” throughout...
By: Salvador Meza* The transition demands substantial investment, a steep learning curve, and conscious decisions in mitigating environmental impacts. As salmon farming moves from the open sea and into land-based systems, it’s worth noting there are several complexities. Today we’ll discuss the primary challenges that this shift brings. Conservationists, seafood lovers, and salmon farmers alike view full-cycle land-based farming as...
By: Josh Rosettani, Marcia Chiasson and Wael Ahmed* One method through which fish farmers can reduce power consumption while improving water quality is replacing conventional technologies used for maintaining water quality with more energy efficient devices such as airlift pumps. This article presents the results of the evaluation of the Engineered-Airlift pumps that were designed to offer a substantial reduction...
