New paradigms to help solve the global aquaculture disease crisis
Authors argue that interventions – like automated detection of pathogens and remote sensing applications – can help mitigate aquaculture's disease crisis.
Organic acids and autolyzed yeast reduce impact of pathogens in fish
Organic acids and autolyzed yeast products can reduce the impact of pathogens like microorganisms, viruses, parasites and fungi, supporting performance and profitability.
Evaluating biofloc technology for the freshwater fish piracanjuba
This study evaluated the growth performance of the freshwater fish piracanjuba raised in biofloc and clear-water systems for 34 days.
Challenging Pacific white postlarvae with AHPND
Study results indicate that P. vannamei challenged with AHPND in biofloc had higher survival rates than shrimp challenged in clear water.
Efficacy of natural products and antibiotics in shrimp hatcheries
This study evaluated through in vitro analyses the antimicrobial effectiveness of natural products used for P. vannamei bacterial diseases and antibiotics against pathogenic Vibrio strains circulating in Ecuadorian hatcheries.
Researchers examine antimicrobial resistance potential in aquaculture
The influence of antibiotics in fish and their effects on the gut microbiome aren’t well understood, says research team examining antimicrobial resistance.
What clues does fish mucus hold in the fight against antimicrobial resistance?
As current antibiotics dwindle in effectiveness against multidrug-resistant pathogens, researchers are seeking potential replacements in some unlikely places.
Replacing dietary fish oil with palm oil in Nile tilapia
Authors investigated the effects of replacing dietary fish oil with palm oil in juvenile Nile tilapia, and demonstrated that growth and feed utilization were not compromised when palm oil was used either partially or totally.
White Feces Syndrome in shrimp: Predictor of EHP?
Study demonstrates strong association between White Feces Syndrome and Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei in EHP-endemic regions. Biosecurity strategies can minimize the risk of pathogen’s spread in the Americas.
Hybrid tilapia culture in an outdoor biofloc production system
This study in an outdoor biofloc technology production system evaluated impacts on fish production indices, common microbial off-flavors and water quality dynamics for hybrid tilapia.
Effect of multiple feedings and a low-fishmeal, amino acid-supplemented diet in Pacific white shrimp
Effect of multiple feedings and a low-fishmeal, amino acid-supplemented diet in Pacific white shrimp
This study evaluated the effect of feeding juvenile L. vannamei several times a day versus two and four times – manually or with an automatic feeder – with a low-fishmeal diet supplemented with crystalline amino acids.
Enteritis induction by soybean meal in totoaba diets
This study investigated the effects of increasing levels of dietary soybean meal (SBM) with constant taurine supply in the induction of enteritis in juvenile totoaba.
Current knowledge about fumonisins in aquaculture
The latest knowledge about fumonisins in aquaculture and the importance of preventing synergistic interactions between different mycotoxins.
Genetic improvement of disease resistance through selective breeding
This study, involving more than 10 years of research on selective breeding, has shown that selective breeding can create considerable phenotypic divergence in rainbow trout lines when targeting a specific pathogen.
Stirling researchers identify viable ablation alternatives for shrimp hatcheries
A research project aimed at improving shrimp hatcheries’ welfare practices shows there is a viable alternative to a common spawn-inducing technique.
Larviculture of the West Indian pointed venus
Larviculture and culture density research with West Indian pointed venus is relevant to restocking efforts to support the extractive fisheries from natural banks and also for the development of aquaculture.
