South Africa undertakes strategic environmental assessment for aquaculture development
An assessment for aquaculture development in South Africa identified nine freshwater areas and eight marine areas, representing all nine provinces. These areas will be studied to provide guidance for government to enable responsible, integrated and streamlined decision-making.
Legal issues affect offshore aquaculture development
Countries seeking offshore aquaculture development must comply with requirements to prevent and control pollution. LOS articles grant coastal states the right to construct aquaculture facilities within their exclusive economic zones and ban others from construction there.
Can aquaculture flourish in a more symbiotic sea?
The 18-month Maribe project has uncovered some promising ideas for promoting growth and jobs within the blue economy. Aquaculture, fingered as one of five key areas for growth, could benefit from collaboration with renewable energies.

Stressors in fish culture decreased through dietary manipulation of arachidonic acid
Studies show that dietary arachidonic acid improves fish survival and growth if offered together with suitable levels of the other essential fatty acids.
Israeli study examines feeding regimes for Asian sea bass grown at high temperatures
Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer) feeding strategies and diets must be developed for slow-growth (winter) and fast-growth (summer) seasons.
Aquaculture of Asian sea bass or barramundi
The Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer) is known by various common names in different parts of its range, including “barramundi” in much of Asia.
