This study by Albin Grns, Erik Sandblom, Anders Kiessling and Michael Axelsson, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, assessed the effects of an opioid drug, buprenorphine (0.05 mg/kg IM), on resting ventilation and heart rates during 7 days of postsurgical recove…
Marshall C. Richmond et al, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, US, introduce a method for hydro turbine biological performance assessment (BioPA) to bridge the gap between field and laboratory studies on fish injury and turbine engineering design. Using th…
Fish depend on dietary fatty acids (FA) to support their physiological condition and health. Exploring the FA distribution in common carp (Cyprinus carpio), one of the world's most consumed freshwater fish, is important to understand how and where FA of differ…
This study by A. M. Abdelhamid et al, Al-Mansourah University, Egypt, aimed to investigate the effect of dietary graded levels of three pre-and probiotics on the immunity and haematology of all-males mono-sex Nile tilapia fish.
Torfinn Moldal et al, Norwegian Veterinary Institute, investigated the intestinal health in Atlantic salmon fed with different vegetable oils as partial substitutes of fish oil in the diet.
Biologists could gain a deeper understanding about how species have evolved and even find ways to address antibiotic resistance using tools that were developed recently at Stockholm's KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
The black tiger shrimp is a marine crustacean of economic importance in the world market. To ensure sustainability of the shrimp industry, production capacity and disease outbreak prevention must be improved. This work by Wanilada Rungrassame et al, National C…
The objective of the present study was to determine the effects of dietary inclusion of different levels of pawpaw seeds powder (PSP) at different periods on the growth performance, survival rate, feed utilization and carcass composition of fry and fingerlings…
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…
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 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…
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.
