The use of monosex fish is intrinsically desirable in a variety of fish species in a range of aquaculture production systems. The potential advantages sought from their use may include one or more of the following features: achievement of higher average growth rate, elimination of reproduction, reduction of sexualrterritorial behaviour, reduction of variation in harvest size, and reduction of r...

The American paddlefish, Polyodon spathula (Walbaum), is an endangered acipenserid fish. Its wild populations are supplemented with stocking material that is obtained by conducting artificial spawning in aquaculture conditions. When fish are bred in captivity, it is important to select breeding pairs that will produce the most genetically diverse progeny, since this permits maintaining the fitn...

This publication is designed to help individuals interested in aquaculture gain a better understanding of the challenges involved in establishing a successful fish farm. Although most information here applies to traditional freshwater aquaculture, readers interested in marine culture systems and specialty type aquaculture will be able to glean useful information. A glossary, included at the end...

Competition between heterotrophic and nitrifying bacteria is of major practical importance in aquaculture biofilter design and operation. This competition must be understood to minimize the negative impact of heterotrophic bacteria on an aquaculture system. On the other hand, the heterotrophic population is suspected of having a positive effect against pathogenic bacteria. Little information is...

Aquaculture is the aquatic equivalent of agriculture. While agriculture predominantly based on use freshwater to grow crops, aquaculture utilizes (i.e. inland waters) and brackish water/seawater coastal culture fish, plants, shellfish (bivalve, abalone, sea urchins cucumbers), macro microalgae. The increasing scarcity captive fisheries resources has led regenerative farming practices aquacultur...

Abstract Purpose This paper presents our team’s results to establish an AIoT smart cage culture management system. Methods According the built system, farmed field information is transmitted data platform of Ocean Cloud, and all collected analysis can be applied after bigdata analysis. Results system successfully integrates AI IoT technologies in culture. Using underwater biological images feed...

Aquaculture is seen as an alternative to meeting the widening gap in global rising demand and decreasing supply for aquatic food products. Asia, the epicenter of the global aquaculture industry, accounts for over 90% of the global aquaculture production quantity and about 80% of the value. Asian aquaculture, as with global aquaculture, is dependent to a significant extent on alien species, as i...

Probiotics, which have been widely used in livestock rearing, have recently been applied to aquaculture. Probiotics are defined as live cells or a substrate that provides benefits through stimulation of growth, improved digestion, and improved immune response. Probiotics can also improve water quality. This review summarizes the current understanding of the use of probiotics in aquaculture, inc...

Strict environmental restrictions force the aquaculture industry to guarantee optimal water quality for fish production in a sustainable manner. The implementation of anammox (anaerobic ammonium oxidation) in biofilters would result in the conversion of both ammonium and nitrite (both toxic to aquatic animals) into harmless dinitrogen gas. Both marine and freshwater aquaculture systems contain ...
