In view of current unprogressive situation of factory breeding in aquaculture, this article designed a standardized, informationized and intelligentized aquaculture system, proposed a information fusion architecture based on multi-agent in greenhouse wireless sensor network (GWSN), and researched mainly the structural characteristic of the four-classed information fusion based on distributed mu...

1. Shellfish farming is an expanding segment of marine aquaculture, but environmental effects of this industry are only beginning to be considered. 2. The interaction between off-bottom, suspended oyster farming and wintering sea ducks in coastal British Columbia was studied. Specifically, the habitat use of surf scoters (Melanitta perspicillata) and Barrow’s goldeneyes (Bucephala islandica), t...

The officially permitted export of aquaculture products from Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) to the demanding European Union (EU) market is the most important success of Bosnian and Herzegovinian agriculture in the post-war period. However, this breakthrough demands ongoing activities by all Bosnian competent authorities (CAs) and other stakeholders involved in aquaculture aimed toward sustainable...

The current means for aquaculture water quality monitoring have a weak infrastructure. We research to use wireless sensor technology, embedded computing technology, MEMS technology, distributing information processing technology and wireless communication technology to build the wireless network sensor network system. This system is a digital, networked, intelligent real-time dynamic for monito...

The rise of aquaculture has been one of the most profound changes in global food production of the past 100 years. Driven by population growth, rising demand for seafood and a levelling of production from capture fisheries, the practice of farming aquatic animals has expanded rapidly to become a major global industry. Aquaculture is now integral to the economies of many countries. It has provid...

The Political Constitution of Chile establishes the right of the people to live in an environment which is free from contamination. The State has a duty to uphold this right and to preserve nature. With the aim of reconciling this constitutional guarantee with the pursuit of profitable economic activities, the concept of 'sustainable development' has been promoted. This mechanism makes it possi...

Since its inception, aquaculture has developed into a major industrial complex, a major component of which is cage culture. Along with the growth, however, problems arose. Translocations of animals and diseases, as well as concerns over environmental effects limited the growth of the industry. The concept of fish health management whereby the host, pathogen, and environment are proactively mana...

Predatory open access (OA) journals can be defined as non-indexed journals that exploit the gold OA model for profit, often spamming academics with questionable e-mails promising rapid OA publication for a fee. In aquaculture—a rapidly growing and highly scrutinized field—the issue of such journals remains undocumented. We employed a quantitative approach to determine whether attributes of scie...
