By Francisco J. Oficialdegui and Antonín Kouba In recent decades, global aquaculture production has grown substantially because of rising global food demand and technological advances allowing diversification and intensification. Its rapid global expansion has also resulted in the translocation of species beyond their native ranges. Although non-native farmed species are highly productive and contribute significantly to the global food supply,...
By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team The global salmon aquaculture industry increasingly seeks sustainable feed solutions. Krill meal (KM) provides essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, astaxanthin, and choline, improving salmon growth, feed efficiency, and health. In a 116-day field trial, 10% KM diets showed 4.8% higher growth and 22% lower mortality, highlighting KM´s potential to enhance fish welfare and farm...
* By Leslie Newmann and Jose I. Curiel The global shrimp industry operates under constant pressure to maximize production while facing the ever-present threat of viral and bacterial pathogens. This article presents a technological breakthrough that was developed after years of research and refinement. This breakthrough achieves the clinical sterility of polychaetes without compromising the nutritional profile that is vital for...
By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team Global aquaculture has expanded more than thirtyfold since 1970 and is now practiced in nearly 200 countries, becoming a central pillar of the world’s food system, yet this growth remains highly uneven: 90% of global production is concentrated in only 10 countries. Such imbalance raises concerns about missed opportunities, limited diversity, and the resilience of...
* By Stephen Newman, Ph.D. Many products are sold for use in aquaculture, ostensibly to improve outcomes. Considering the global market, all too often many of these products are potentially of limited use and the purveyors often rely on natural pond to pond variability for marketing and claims of efficacy. The handful of products that work consistently regardless of this...
* By Anil Singh, Shashank Singh, Arya Singh, Suman Dey, Harshit Singh and Vikash Kushwaha Aquaculture is a rapidly expanding sector crucial to global food security, nutrition, employment,economy, environmental sustainability, healthcare and providing livelihoods. Traditional farming methods face various limitations in aquaculture production while Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming aquaculture by improving efficiency, accuracy and sustainability. AI integration is poised to...
