BACKGROUND Global aquaculture production has increased continuously over the last five decades, and particularly in China. Its aquaculture has become the fastest growing and most efficient agri-sector, with production accounting for more than 70% of the world's aquaculture output. In the new century, with serious challenges regarding population, resources and the environment, China has been wor...

As in many parts of the world, aquaculture production in the Mediterranean has been expanding rapidly over recent years (Basurco & Lovatelli, 2005). The continuous decline of ocean fisheries stocks has provided impetus for rapid growth in aquaculture. Global production of farm fish has more than doubled in the past 20 years with the growing demands of an expanding population, and it seems that ...

the potential of marine actinobacteria particularly streptomyces as a single cell protein (scp) feed for the growth of ornamental fish, xiphophorus helleri has been investigated. the streptomyces strains used as scp were isolated from the marine sponges, namely callyspongia diffusa , mycale mytilorum , tedania anhelans and dysidea fragilis . six scp feeds were prepared and their effects were co...

Abstract Gelatinous plankton present a challenge to marine fish aquaculture that remains be addressed. Shifting distributions, suggested by some result of factors such as climate change and overfishing, appear exacerbated anthropogenic linked directly aquaculture. Fish health can negatively influenced exposure the cnidarian hydrozoan scyphozoan life stages commonly referred “jellyfish”. Impact ...

The escape of fish from aquaculture is perceived as a threat to wild fish populations. The escapes problem is largely caused by technical and operational failures of fish farming equipment. In Norway, 3.93 million Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, 0.98 million rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss and 1.05 million Atlantic cod Gadus morhua escaped from 2001 to 2009. Salmonids primarily escape after stru...

Acoustic backscatter contrast in depositional sediments under salmon farm cages in the Bay of Fundy, Canada, was correlated with localized changes in (unknown) sediment geotechnical properties, as indicated by 4 independent measures of organic enrichment. Sediment total sulfides and redox potentials, enzyme hydrolyzable amino acids, sediment profile imaging and macrofaunal samples, taken at mid...
