By: Ph.D Stephen G. Newman* Consumers are being sold on systems that might deal with some aspects of sustainability, i.e., water quality and quality of the production environment, but that do not deal with the movement of pathogens between populations. So, at the risk of being repetitive, what is the definition of biosecurity, what does complying entail, and what are...

By: Ph.D. Stephen G. Newman* It appears that many in the field that advocate the control of vibrios either in the environment or through the gut do not understand the concept of “viable but nonculturable” (VBNC). This is not a new idea although we continue to learn more about it. The widespread dogmatic approach towards shrimp culture dictates that certain...
By: Angkasa Putra* Indonesia itself has the largest aquaculture production potential in the world. Based on data from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (2021), since 2010 aquaculture production, has exceeded capture fisheries production. Until 2019, aquaculture contributed about 68.4% of Indonesia’s total fishery production, with an average growth of 16% per year during 2000-2019. Indonesia the World’s Largest...
Shrimp has been recognized as the second most traded aquaculture products for decades. However, shrimp production in major producing countries has declined, mostly due to disease problem. Here we present a study aimed to determine the effect of dietary mannan oligosaccharides delivered through Artemia sp on the survival, growth, immunity, digestive enzymes and resistance against Vibrio harveyi of Pacific white...
Currently electrocoagulation (EC) filtration technology is successfully applied in water purification and industrial wastewater treatment. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of EC in wastewater from aquaculture by providing technical means and data support for enhancing the filtration pretreatment capacity of a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) since its application is scarce. As an environmentally friendly...
