Potential interactions between marine predators and humans arise in the southern coast of Chile where predator feeding and reproduction sites overlap with fisheries and aquaculture. Here, we assess the potential effects of intensive salmon aquaculture on food habits, growth, and reproduction of a common predator, the spiny dogfish-identified as Squalus acanthias via genetic barcoding. A total o...

Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing global food animal production industries and, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), now accounts for nearly half of global food fish supply. This proportion is anticipated to grow in the coming decades as global capture fisheries continue to stagnate and global demand for seafood continues to rise. As the significance ...

Aquaculture facilities worldwide continue to experience significant economic losses because of disease caused by pathogenic bacteria, including multidrug-resistant strains. This scenario drives the search for alternative methods to inactivate pathogenic bacteria. Phage therapy is currently considered as a viable alternative to antibiotics for inactivation of bacterial pathogens in aquaculture s...

Citation: Olsen Y (2015) How can mariculture better help feed humanity? Front. Mar. Sci. 2:46. The primary production of the marine and the terrestrial domains are similar, ∼49 and 56 Gt C year −1 , respectively (Field et al., 1998), and the marine primary production must likely be more readily available for grazing animals because it is primarily in the form of unicellular phytoplankton. We ha...

Abstract Aquaculture has been the world’s fastest-growing food producing method and grown to become second-largest export industry in Norway during past 40 years. Usually, high-value fish such as Atlantic Salmon (Salmo Salar) is raised a multi-cage farm, where flow interactions between cages exist. In this study, are implemented into numerical program, FhSim, investigate its influences on respo...

This publication, Part 1 in the Florida Marine Baitfish Aquaculture series, outlines opportunities and challenges associated with marketing aquacultured live marine baitfish Florida. It examines why is uniquely suited for continued development of this industry, reviews recreational angling market, describes selling to retailers. publication intended provide information current potential farmers...

Food fish farming is regarded as one of the most important sectors of the aquaculture industry. Salmon farming is a major contributor to the growth of the aquaculture sector. Climate change is predicted to have a complex impact on aquatic ecosystems, including fisheries and aquaculture. Climate change can cause a fluctuation in water temperature of rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans. This can chan...

In aquaculture, monitoring fish size and density is fundamental to improve management profitability of farms. The aim this study test whether horizontally aimed 200-kHz transducers are adequate obtain structure in open-sea cages order apply horizontal hydroacoustics as a non-intrusive innovative technique sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) farming. Several sampling strategies have been tested by p...

Recent advances in genomic and post-genomic technologies have now established the new standard in medical and biotechnological research. The introduction of next-generation sequencing, NGS,has resulted in the generation of thousands of genomes from all domains of life, including the genomes of complex uncultured microbial communities revealed through metagenomics. Although the application of ge...
