■ Abstract With continued human pressure on marine fisheries and ocean resources, aquaculture has become one of the most promising avenues for increasing marine fish production in the future. This review presents recent trends and future prospects for the aquaculture industry, with particular attention paid to ocean farming and carnivorous finfish species. The benefits of farming carnivorous fi...

Cyprus’ offshore aquaculture industry has promising prospects taking into account that Cyprus is an island. Its production trend is increasing overtaking bigger countries such Greece and Italy. However, current mooring systems seem to be under-performing acting as obstacles for its future development. Furthermore, shallow coastal waters scarcity due to competing industries dictates future devel...

Efforts are on the way on the Swedish West Coast to develop the capacity for cultivation of marine resources, notably of kelps. Given that this is a region of great natural and national heritage, public opposition to marine developments has been identified as a possible risk factor. This survey thus sought to shed light on awareness levels, perceptions of different types of aquaculture and on r...

Abstract: It was important to sustainable development of aquaculture industry used biological method and biotechnology to treat the waste of aquaculture. In this paper, an airlift recirculating aquaculture system was designed and polychaete worms was cultured in it. According to the different food level experiment, the growth of Perinereis aibuhitensis was tested in each system which marked M1,...

The Network of Aquaculture Centers in Asia and the Pacific (NACA), in association with the Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) has been implementing a collaborative programme for the last several years to support shrimp farmers in India to adopt better management practices (BMPs) for disease control, coastal management and sustainable farming. This programme was started with a ...

The annual production from global aquaculture has increased rapidly from 2.6 million tons or 3.9% of the total supply of fish, shellfish and mollusks in 1970, to 66.7 million tons or 42.2% in 2012, while capture fisheries have more or less leveled out at about 90 million tons per year since the turn of the century. Consequently, the future seafood supply is likely to depend on a further increas...

water is an essential yet constrained commodity for human communities and ecological systems depend on it. with population growth and economic development, water resource is increasingly declining. over the past two decades, because of changes in population and climate, and relative welfare increase, the per capita consumption of water has increased. thus, optimal use of available water resourc...

The development of DNA-based genetic markers has had a revolutionary impact on animal genetics. With DNA markers, it is theoretically possible to observe and exploit genetic variation in the entire genome. Popular genetic markers in the aquaculture community include allozymes, mitochondrial DNA, RFLP, RAPD, AFLP, microsatellite, SNP, and EST markers. The application of DNA markers has allowed r...

The “Aquaculture Big Numbers” research project seeks to: provide baseline information on the present status of the aquaculture sector from a human development perspective; identify the types and numbers of people employed by the sector; and explore the role of aquaculture in providing social and economic services at a global level, with a particular emphasis on small-scale stakeholders. The res...
