Por: Salvador Meza * RAS systems that use renewable energies such as wind, solar, or geothermal are outlined to ensure aquaculture's environmental and financial sustainability. Not so much because of an increase in production per unit area, but because of the decrease in resources waste from the feed not consumed in cages and ponds. In a world that is getting...
By: Sarah Cornelisse * Effectively responding to communications is imperative for cultivating a positive consumer experience.

By: Greg Fischer and Emma Wiermaa * For over 15 years, the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Northern Aquaculture Demonstration Facility (UWSP NADF) has experienced substantial success raising both walleye and hybrid walleye (saugeye) in indoor, intensive systems for research and demonstration of food-fish production. Although most walleye fillets are imported into the United States from Canada, this well-known species in...
*By: Christos Palaiokostas, Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden * The ability to predict disease resistance using genomic information in aquaculture species has attracted considerable research efforts. In the current study, various Machine Learning (ML) models were evaluated in terms of their efficiency in detecting disease-resistant animals through their genomic profile. Advancements in...

By: David F . Willer, Samuel F urse & David C . Aldridge * The use of live algae is driving excessive and unsustainable energy and resource use in bivalve production. Since the 1990s, the bivalve aquaculture industry has been seeking non-live alternative feeds to reduce its need for antibiotics. FAO and EU sustainable aquaculture policies identify urgent and immediate...
