Effect of HUFA-enriched artemia on the performance of Pacific white shrimp postlarvae
Feeding HUFA-enriched artemia to L. vannamei for 12 days significantly increases highly unsaturated fatty acid content in the shrimp postlarvae.

Integrated utilization of microalgae grown in aquaculture wastewater
A study shows that wastewater from recirculating aquaculture systems is suitable for microalgal cultivation and that sludge amendment to the wastewater increases production.

Production of omega-3 enriched tilapia through dietary algae meal or fish oil
This study evaluated the effect of diets supplemented with fish oil and algae meal for LC-PUFA enrichment on juvenile Nile tilapia. The experimental diets have promise as a feasible option for enriching omega-3 content in tilapia fillets.

It takes guts to advance sustainability in aquaculture
With byproducts representing between 25 to 50 percent of the weight of various fish species, we need to be looking at how the entire fish is being used: even the heads, guts and skin.

Are omega-3s in farmed jade perch as high as believed?
Farmed jade perch – similar to other cultured fish species – is only rich in omega-3 fatty acids if its diet consists of these nutrients in high amounts. How does it compare to the wild fish?
