Wave Forces Acting on a Cylindrical Aquaculture Fish Cage

Dynamics of a Single Point Mooring Marine Aquaculture Cage as a Simple Vibrating System

The increasing world demand for fish cannot be met by capture fisheries. Aquaculture production is increasing and nowadays cage culture has an important role in meeting the world’s fish demand. The design of the physical structure of a cage is determined by the oceanographic conditions of the culture site. Each design is site-specific and knowledge of the topography, wind force and direct...

Effects of Aquaculture on World Fish Supplies

Aquaculture and Fish Health

Introduction Fish has an enormous value as the most frequent source of animal protein for the major part of the humans, especially in countries during rapid development in Asia and Africa. All fish species are a part of the local ecology and as such has a biological and environmental importance.

Transgenic fish and aquaculture

Transgenic fish species can be routinely produced by transferring foreign DNA into developing embryos via microinjection or electroporation. This technology offers an excellent opportunity for modifying or improving the genetic traits of commercially important Fishes, mollusks, and crustaceans for aquaculture. Studies have shown that administration of recombinant fish or mammalian growth hormon...
