Land use planning means managing our land and resources and it focuses on the functions of ecosystems. The main purpose of this study is to determine the places and sites with necessary capabilities for ecotourism, environmental conservation, agricultural activities, range management, forestry, afforestation, aquaculture, city planning and industrial development in the studied area. This resear...

Cryopreservation is a long-term storage technique to preserve the biological material without deterioration for extended period of time at least several thousands of years. The ability to preserve and store both maternal and paternal gametes provides a reliable source of fish genetic material for scientific and aquaculture purposes as well as for conservation of biodiversity. Successful cryopre...

Lophiosilurus alexandri is an endemic catfish from the São Francisco River Basin (Brazil) popularly known as pacamã, which has economic potential for aquaculture farming. The mitochondrial genome was sequenced for the threatened Neotropical catfish L. alexandri. Assembly into scaffolds using MIRA and MITObim software produced the whole, circularized mitochondrial genome, which comprises 16,445 ...

Effective disease management can benefit from mathematical models that identify drivers of epidemiological change and guide decision-making. This is well illustrated in the host-parasite system of sea lice and salmon, which has been modelled extensively due to the economic costs associated with sea louse infections on salmon farms and the conservation concerns associated with sea louse infectio...

Aquaculture is nothing new. It arose multiple times in indigenous societies where coastal population densities of “seafood eating peoples” increased beyond the carrying capacities of natural, aquatic ecosystems to provide for them. There have been many “blue revolutions” throughout history! Aquaculture has a long, fascinating pre-history with well documented “blue revolutions” occurring through...

Arizona aquaculture production in 2000 was 680 metric tons. Finfish including tilapia, bass, trout and catfish accounted for 590 metric tons, while other culture organisms, primarily marine shrimp rounded out production. The continued success of the aquaculture industry in Arizona is dependent on the success of individual farms. By increasing the chances of success through the proper selection ...

With a growing human population and the need to protect our oceans from overfishing, there is requirement for society source alternative means of sustainable protein. Mussel aquaculture has rapidly expanded in many countries serving as an important supply protein, but its development been limited due competition coastal space associated environmental impacts farming inshore waters. Offshore dev...
