The human population is growing and, globally, we must meet the challenge of increased protein needs required to feed this population. Single cell proteins (SCP), when coupled to aquaculture production, offer a means to ensure future protein needs can be met without direct competition with food for people. To demonstrate a given type of SCP has potential as a protein source for use in aquacultu...

The Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is a euryhaline penaeid species that shows ontogenetic adaptations to salinity, with its larvae inhabiting oceanic environments and postlarvae and juveniles inhabiting estuaries and lagoons. Ontogenetic adaptations to salinity manifest in L. vannamei through strong hyper-osmoregulatory and hypo-osmoregulatory patterns and an ability to tolerate extr...

The continuously-increasing demand for food by a steadily-growing human population has created strong competition between man and animals for certain feedstuffs that can be used by both. Rations used for intensive beef and milk production are largely based on grain, which is the staple food for man in most of the developing countries with a general protein-energy deficiency (Lapedes, 1980). It ...

The rapid development of shrimp aquaculture has resulted in numerous ecological problems, thereby necessitating the assessment its sustainable development. This study employed footprint method to conduct a quantitative analysis environmental ramifications two culture modes (pond and factory) Penaeus vannamei. includes horizontal comparison between different vertical among links same mode, with ...

B ecoming independent of crude oil imports, mainly from the Middle East, is an urgent concern for many countries all over the world. In order to secure a sustainable energy supply, especially in the transportation sector, governments need to apply policies that promote the use of renewable energy technologies. The dependence on crude oil imports decreases as the production of total energy from ...
