A review of Indian major carp species
Three species of Indian major carp, indigenous to the rivers of the subcontinent, are widely cultivated in India and parts of Southeast Asia.
Freshwater prawn farming expanding in India
Freshwater prawn farming has taken place in India for many years, yet up until the late 1990s, annual production was just a few hundred tons.
Partial harvesting: A smart strategy for shrimp farmers
Partial harvesting is sometimes an important alternative that can be used to “thin” the biomass or supply small quantities of shrimp to local markets.
Phosphates enhance alligator meat products
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services asked the authors to develop marketable alligator meat products.
Norwegian smolt farms reflect higher productivity through intensification
Norwegian smolt farms are located along the coast, on land, and a growing number practice partial or “tank-internal” recirculation of water.
Recirculating plant in Spain produces turbot
A farm in Cambados, Galicia, is producing turbot with recirculating technology from Norway to reduce the growing period by controlling water temperature.
Biofilters: Choosing your substrate
Heterotrophic and autotrophic bacterial communities supported within a biofilter naturally process organic wastes and provide biologically stable water.
Aquaculture of pelagic fish, part 5
The hatchery and cage culture of cobia in Taiwan, where these fish are known as “lings,” has developed into a successful industry.
Shrimp farming in Madagascar
Most potential sites for future shrimp farming are located on the western coast of Madagascar, on large, flat, and relatively bare salt marshes called “tannes.”
Aquaculture of pelagic fish, part 4
Mahimahi, also known as dolphin fish and dorado, has long been recognized as a high-value pelagic fish with excellent potential for aquaculture.
Paddlefish culture emerging in United States
Paddlefish are related to sturgeons and highly valued for their grayish-black roe, which is processed into caviar, and boneless, firm, white meat.
Arizona project integrates aquaculture with agriculture
While farming shrimp in Arizona seems impossible, abundant supplies of saline groundwater have allowed the development of a viable industry.
Tilapia farming in Ecuador
Tilapia farming in Ecuador has developed rapidly as a consequence of major shrimp epidemics experienced in the last decade.
Commercial tilapia production in Panama
In the 1990s, commercial tilapia production in Panama turned to semi-intensive and intensive operations, using pelleted and extruded feeds.
Tilapia culture in Arabia
Tilapia culture in Arabia stands a good chance of success, as the species can adapt to a wide range of water salinity and temperatures.
Tropical abalone culture in Philippines
The relatively short culture period and an established export market for tropical abalone make it a strong aquaculture candidate.
