As the aquaculture industry expands, it needs every feed option – both conventional and alternative – at its disposal. But what steps can the sector take to bring sustainable feed ingredients online?
Indonesian shrimp farmers now have access to – and would be wise to implement – a new range of easy, fast and precise water quality management systems.
IntegraSEE’s CEO, Lawrence Taylor, explains how monitoring the behaviour of a handful of mussels in a MarineCanary unit can alert aquaculture operators to water quality issues, including pollution, pathogens and temperature anomalies.
Indonesia’s aquafeed producers – be they industrial players or farmers who produce feed independently – are increasingly looking towards the use of local and sustainable alternatives to fish meal and soy.
Lowering water levels and poor communications from hydro-electric companies are combining to put pressure on tilapia farmers in the west of São Paulo state, Brazil.
Catfishes have surpassed tilapia in global aquaculture production and – helped in part by the sheer number of their species and their extensive geographical range – they are set to remain at the top table.
As shrimp producers across the globe face more extreme weather events due to climate change, the Alune* farming experts give their advice on how farmers can prepare for the rainy season and keep their ponds healthy.
ThinkAqua, a new aquaculture non-profit, aims to promote innovation among small-scale fish and shrimp producers around the world, as Anton Immink, its CEO, explains.
Devices that produce nanobubbles are becoming increasingly popular in a range of aquaculture operations, with a growing number of studies supporting their value – both in improving production and in reducing the environmental impact of the industry.
