Diagnostics

Though diagnostic laboratories provide essential support for Indonesia's shrimp farmers, only 10 percent of producers use them regularly, making sustainable growth goals harder to achieve.

A rapid diagnostic method to reduce the incidence of biofouling on farmed mussels is currently being developed.

New research suggests that if the aquaculture industry can capitalise on the microbial dynamics of fish farms, producers could see huge improvements in farming efficiency.

Investment firms in the aquaculture sector are looking at the seafood industry’s broader canvas for profits instead of solely focusing on biomass.

A recently developed on-farm detection kit for piscirickettsiosis (SRS) can confirm the bacteria’s presence within 90 minutes and might help reduce the impact of a disease that costs the Chilean salmon industry $750 mill…

A new diagnostic tool that can detect a range of aquatic pathogens, including DIV-1, between two and four weeks before clinical signs are apparent to shrimp farmers, has recently been launched by Genics.

A project that uses environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring to alert salmon farmers to the presence of the parasite Kudoa thyrsites has been awarded funding.

Gaskiya Diagnostics, which develops low-cost and easy-to-use diagnostic tests for aquaculture, has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The development of a biochemical monitoring tool that can be used to proactively manage fish health has been hailed as potentially transformational for the global aquaculture sector.

A new diagnostic test that could improve the revenue of shrimp farmers by $67,000 per hectare has been developed by CSIRO.

Dr Loc Tran, founder of ShrimpVet and one of the key researchers behind the discovery of the causes of EMS in shrimp, explains how he was prepared to risk the wrath of his mother to establish the Vietnam aquaculture indu…

The success of a project that used a cutting-edge genetic technique to assess the presence of water-borne pathogens in Australia's barramundi sector shows the huge potential the technique has to offer to the wider aquacu…
