Timothy A. Reed, president, CEO and head of research and development, and Eric C. Henry, Ph.D., research scientist at Reed Mariculture Inc. discuss how feed and enrichment of rotifers in one step with their new product, RotiGrow OneStep™, results in better nutrition, stronger rotifers, less stress and healthier larvae – with less work and mess.
A new customised dry feed for sea urchins has generated international attention. Scientists at Nofima are now working on reducing production costs and adapting the recipe for large-scale production
Recent research has led to the formulation of a compound diet that was well adapted for larvae from mouth opening, and could totally replace live prey.
A new company is harnessing the well established benefits of marine worms with the advantages of extrusion technology, to produce feeds for a variety of aquacultured species and growth stages
Replacing live feed to a great extend in the production of fry of marine fish species such as gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) and European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) is feasible, from a technical point of view. This has been clearly demonstrated in recent trails conducted in Mediterranean hatcheries utilizing BioMar’s LARVIVA ProStart diet.
Scientists from the SEAFDEC developed a technique to determine the sex of Epinephelus lanceolatus broodstock through its skin mucus.
The agreement includes the production of Atlantic salmon broodstock and eggs from the SalmoBreed strain
Hendrix Genetics and Plant & Food Research have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to co-develop underwater vision technology for measuring aquaculture breeding stock, using trout as a test case.
The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture report states that only around 10 percent of global aquaculture is of improved strains resulting from well-managed selective breeding programs.
Total tilapia Production in Colombia is 70,000 tons, from those 60% are red tilapia and the remaining 40% are Nile tilapia.
ICAR-Central Institute Brackishwater Aquaculture, Chennai has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with M/s.Techno feeder, Pvt. Ltd for the technology transfer of ‘Colourfishfeed’, a scientifically formulated feed designed for health and color of ornamental fish, rather than growth, which is not the primary objective in aquarium feeds.
The Australian Research Council will support the establishment of the world’s first sustainable onshore lobster aquaculture industry.
The facility aims at produce local microalgal strains already selected by researchers.
The replacement of fishmeal by plant-based meal, alone or in combination with fish oil in diets for gilthead sea bream broodstock, negatively affects growth performance of juvenile offspring.
Focused on improving market competitiveness for domestic aquaculture producers, the project will initially focus on Florida pompano (Trachinotus carolinus) and red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) as model species for improvement.
Since the demand of GIFT tilapia is increasing, a new hatchery was built to pave the way for the sector’s development.
The company operates a bio-secure closed breeding nucleus to which no external fish have been introduced since 2009, and have been screening against TiLV for the past 3 years without findings detected.
A consortium in Scotland is taking a significant step toward the development of a commercial vaccine for rainbow trout fry syndrome (RTFS), a pervasive disease among trout, as the industry aims to improve fish welfare and unlock the sector’s potential.
After the cyclone Idai destroyed the first tilapia hatchery in Mozambique, the company donated 500 set of YY broodstock to support the hatchery.
L’Étang Ruisseau Bar Ltée (ERB) is teaming up with Université Laval, Genome Atlantic and Génome Québec on a $3.8 million project using genomics to produce the first selectively bred Canadian strain of Eastern oyster.
