A UK study aims to identify genetic mechanisms that could make Atlantic salmon resistant to a key parasite.

In a world’s first, Philippine researchers successfully spawned round scad (Decapterus macrosoma) in captivity at SEAFDEC/AQD in Tigbauan, Iloilo.

The project, led by Institute of the Sea of Peru (Imarpe), seeks to develop a batch of breeders born in captivity (F1) to achieve the commercial-scale production of this species.

With an investment over $25 million, the Canadian RAS hatchery will support the growth of up to four million smolts.

The company completed the organic egg certification process following the production method standard of the European Union and will supply the first batch to Cooke in April.

Australis Aquaculture has been running an advanced genetics-backed breeding program with Xelect to find the link between genetics and feed efficiency.

The companies will select specific traits in the snapper stock that show higher production yields through improved growth performance and phenotypic traits.

The first batch of breeders will be delivered by the end of March as part of the five-year agreement.

Nofima researchers discovered sterile salmon shows production characteristics that are, at least, as good as fertile farmed salmon.

The company with a production capacity of 250,000 juvenile fish per year owes $9.5 million to its creditors.

The team achieved nine natural and viable spawnings and is currently working to improve culture techniques and nutrition.

Nofima researchers found that by genetically selecting fish that grow well but require less feed, the feed conversion ratio may be improved by 10%.

First-ever rotifer substitution diet enables hatcheries to reduce their rotifer demands by more than 50%, improving survival rates and overall fry quality. Check out some trial results at commercial scale.

Seafarm, a RAS turbot farm located in Zeeland, the Netherlands, is the first aquaculture facility in the world to achieve certification against the new ASC Flatfish Standard.

Hatchery-raised steelhead trout have offspring that are good at gaining size under hatchery conditions but don’t survive as well in streams as steelhead whose parents are wild fish.

An onshore hatchery in Ilhéus, Bahia, will raise fingerlings from eggs for placement in large deep-ocean enclosures located 7-15 km off the Brazilian coast of the state of Bahia.

John Richmond will oversee the design, tendering, procurement, construction and commissioning of the planned new broodstock and post-smolt facilities.

Lake Harvest Group raised USD 7 million to grow its tilapia operations in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Uganda and will also accelerate Aqua-Spark’s Africa Fund.

The project will showcase a proprietary ModulRAS system developed by Assentoft Aqua, Denmark, which specializes in sustainable land-based RAS aquaculture technologies.

Nutra Sprint and Celero maximize trout performance from fry to harvest with better feed intake and lower FCR.
