Anecdotal reports have indicated polyculture and biofloc systems can reduce outbreaks of diseases at shrimp farms. A laboratory study at the University of Arizona examined the effects of tilapia in controlling acute hepatopancreatic necrosis (AHPN) infection a…
This study by Tirawat Rairat, Niti Chuchirdl and Chalor Limsuwanl, Kasetsart University, Thailand, revealed the benefit of Sangrovit WS, a natural plant feed additive, in anti-inflamatory and antimicrobial activities in shrimp and its effectiveness in preventi…
The rising atmospheric CO2 level is continuously driving the dissolution of more CO2 into the oceans, and some emission scenarios project that the surface waters may reach 1000 ?atm by the end of the century, write Fredrik Jutfelt and Maria Hedgrde, University…
Phytoplankton are the key food item in both aquaculture and mariculture. Both systems are utilizing phytoplankton as food for the animals being farmed. In aquaculture, phytoplankton must be obtained and developed artificially through various adapted procedures…
The use of biofloc systems for shrimp culture requires monitoring of water quality parameters, particularly suspended solids levels, writes Carlos Gaona et al, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande. Taken from the Global Aquaculture Advocate, a Global Aquaculture…
Kassaye Balkew Workagegn, Hawassa University, Ethiopia, conducted this study to investigate the growth performance, feed utilization efficiency and survival rate of juvenile Oreochromis niloticus reared in aquaria at different water temperature.
In part three of three, A.M. Abdelhamid, Mansoura University, Egypt, aims to investigate the effect of dietary graded levels of Aqua Superzyme, Garlen Allicin, and Diamond V (Original XPC) on the chemical composition and histology of all-males mono-sex Nile ti…
Ocean acidification has a variable impact on the growth and survival of marine invertebrates. Larval stages are thought to be particularly vulnerable to environmental stressors, and negative impacts of ocean acidification have been seen on fertilization as wel…
In part two of three, A.M. Abdelhamid, Mansoura University, Egypt, aims to investigate the effect of dietary graded levels of Aqua Superzyme, Garlen Allicin, and Diamond V (Original XPC) on feed utilization by Nile tilapia fish for 16 weeks.
