By: The Fishmonger* Wherever you are in the world you are not able to avoid the way things are changing. Unfortunately, disruption in so many of the business drivers are impacting pressures daily for all organizations and solutions must be found for survival. If you think you are going to sit still and do nothing, and business will continue without...
By: Ph.D. Stephen G. Newman* The tonnage of shrimp produced by aquaculture is at an all high with no end apparently in sight. Have we achieved sustainability or is this another peak that will end abruptly followed by a significant drop in production only to rebound once more? The word sustainable has become a commonly used and abused term, much...
By: Antonio Garza de Yta*, Ph.D. If Christopher Columbus had not been convinced that he would find a new way to the Far East, if the Wright Brothers had not believed that they could build a machine that would allow us to fly, or if Tomas Alba Edison had not tirelessly tried to create light through electricity, the history of...
By: Amy Stone* So you have a filter and you’re wondering what to use inside it. The answer depends on what results are needed with the filter. In the past, we have reviewed the differences between filters, now we will dive into the medias. So you have a filter and you’re wondering what to use inside it. The answer depends...
The use of probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary fiber has become a common practice in aquaculture as an alternative to antibiotic treatment. However, not much is known about the metabolic mechanisms underlying the effects of these products. An evaluation of immune stimulatory products for whiteleg shrimp using a metabolomics approach has shown that the combination of cellulose fiber and probiotics could...
Precise feeding in the recirculating aquaculture mode is a critical problem. Accurate prediction of shrimp biomass could determine the appropriate feeding amount and ensure stable water quality. This review presents the development of an intelligent feeding technique in a recirculating aquaculture system for rearing Litopenaeus vannamei. Researchers have used machine learning to carry out a series of studies on early...
