The consensus among several presenters at the aquaculture portion of the Alltech ONE18 conference was clear: Much more seafood is needed to feed humans, whose numbers will reach 8 billion in less than six years. 

A five-year study in Canada aims to provide more answers about warmer waters with lower oxygen levels and a way for farmed fish producers to adapt to climate change. 

Sea lice, algae, temperature changes and escapes still vex salmon farmers, but new cage systems aim to surmount these concerns with innovative barriers. 

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rippling through the aquaculture industry, promising greater efficiencies and insights, as well as investor interest. 

An evaluation of aquaculture in submerged cages finds knowledge gaps in linking desirable ambient conditions, species needs and production know-how. 

Harvest results suggest ‘high quality’ of farmed salmon in iFarm net pens, with sea lice levels reduced by 50 percent, according to Cermaq. 

Environmental and fish health problems have affected Chile’s salmon farmers since 2004. As production ramped up, 2006 saw an increase in sea lice that reduced output. In 2007, infectious salmon anemia spread across the farming region and quickly cut production. 

In the first startup profile of the inaugural Hatch cohort in Bergen, meet two young software developers who left Washington, D.C., for Norway and the power of personal connections to grow their aquaculture analytics business. 

Nucleotides are basic building blocks of the nucleic acids DNA and RNA, and necessary elements in the their replication during cell division and renewal. 

There’s considerable opportunity to grow the UK aquaculture industry. At the Aquaculture UK exhibition and conference in Aviemore, Scotland shows the way.   

Some of the world’s top aquatic animal disease experts shared knowledge about mitigation techniques at the GOAL conference in Guangzhou, China. Topics included sea lice, streptococcus and EHP, which was referred to as the “most insidious” disease impacting shrimp production. 

Salmon farming in Norway is poised for an innovation boom. The biggest players are putting cutting technology in the water to solve some of the industry’s most persistent problems, such as sea lice, fish escape and waste management. 

Researchers in Scotland, Sweden and Canada are exploring the potential of sea cucumbers, the squishy detritivores that can help clean up behind fish pens. 

An evaluation of passive acoustic telemetry techniques as a tool to monitor welfare of gilthead sea bream juveniles implanted with acoustic transmitters. 

The gonads of male and female sea urchins is considered a delicacy. A strong market value for quality uni make urchins an excellent aquaculture candidate. 

Although researchers in several countries are working to enhance sea urchin fisheries or commercial production, the development of a major commercial industry has been restrained by the lack of cost-effective production technology. 

Marine gastropod molluscs known as sea hares are relatively unknown animals that have significant importance in biomedical research due to their particular nervous system. And because of their ability to consume large amounts of algae, they can be very useful in clearwater, marine aquaculture systems. 

At the IntraFish Seafood Investor Forum in New York, “all roads lead to salmon.” Buoyed by high prices and soaring demand, the sector is an example worth following. But it’s not without its challenges.
