Optimising the production of marine herbivores, such as rabbitfish, suggests the huge potential of sustainable aquaculture techniques to feed a growing population.
Salmon rendered sterile through gene editing are exhibiting encouraging behaviour and performance during the grow-out phase, according to new research results.
Ways to commercialise the production of finfish rendered sterile by novel methods sparked a thought-provoking discussion at the end of the inaugural International Finfish Sterility Workshop, which was held in Stirling this week.

Sturgeon farming in Russia is booming, which is reflected by the increasing number of investment projects it is attracting, as well as growing attention from the state being directed towards the problems that face the industry.
The recurring boom-and-bust cycles in aquaculture production, where upscaling leads to diseases and eventual production collapse, have been one of the key factors in the declining rate of the industry's growth over the past 15 years.
Maria Darias specialises in bringing sustainable aquaculture to developing countries, a role that recently involved a four-year stint in Peruvian Amazonia, establishing farming protocols for a range of native species.
