This article presents the results of a study using environmental DNA methodology for the early detection and quantification of various pathogens in farmed barramundi, where the technique showed to be a powerful and novel tool to predict fish mortalities.
Intelligence
Organoleptic attributes such as flavor and aroma are among the most important factors that influence consumer acceptability and demand for fish products. Consumers have identified farmed fish as less complex and lacking “sealike” or “sea-fresh” flavors and aromas.
Responsibility
Pond pH had a strong effect on the effectiveness of a product applied to remove excess phosphate to control algal blooms in eutrophic aquaculture ponds.
Health & Welfare
By combining husbandry practices aimed at stress reduction with better disease management higher barramundi survival rates will be the likely result.
Health & Welfare
Using a series of equations, energy and protein requirements for every fish species can be calculated and adapted to changing conditions.
Intelligence
From recirculation units, earthen ponds and sea pens in Australia, barramundi are spreading to other continents due to the advent of sophisticated modular culture systems.
Health & Welfare
Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer) feeding strategies and diets must be developed for slow-growth (winter) and fast-growth (summer) seasons.
Intelligence
The Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer) is known by various common names in different parts of its range, including “barramundi” in much of Asia.
