Producing ragworms for shrimp broodstock maturation
Two companies, INVE and Seabait, have recently joined forces to make the ragworm available to the aquaculture industry worldwide.
Feed development guidelines for closed indoor farming systems
From a nutritional standpoint feed development guidelines should be followed when establishing feeding regimes for farming systems.
Advances in the development of low-pollution feeds for salmonids
Feed is the source of enriching nutrients in rainbow trout farming, and most efforts to lower pollution from trout farms involve modifications of feeds.
Artificial diets for penaeid shrimp broodstock
Dry artificial diets for shrimp offer reliable supply, reproducible and controlled quality, ease of use and improved stability under storage.
The Brazilian aquaculture feed market: A growing giant
The culture of tropical freshwater fishes has led aquaculture development in Brazil, where many areas have the required characteristics to grow the industry.
Catfish nutrition: A look at feeds and feeding practices
Information on catfish nutrition was practically nonexistent in the late 1950s and early 1960s when catfish farming first started.
Shrimp feeds and feeding regimes in zero-exchange outdoor tanks
Feeding trials with a new shrimp feed were conducted at the Oceanic Institute with three different feeding regimes and two tank covers.
Use of spirulina in larviculture
Spirulina platensis is an edible planktonic filamentous bluegreen algae that can be used in fish feeds and as a supplement when feeding prawn larvae.
Microalgae paste: A new paradigm in larval feeds
An alternative to growing microalgae on-site is concentrated microalgae paste from marine microalgae mixed with a food grade preservative.
Larval shrimp nutrition: Getting the most out of your formulated diets
Like most questions concerning larval shrimp nutrition, there are no simple answers that can be applied to all hatcheries universally.
Larval feeds: Two methods for production of on-size, microbound particles
No single manufacturing method for larval feeds is optimal for all feeding situations. Several criteria apply, such as palatability and nutrient stability.
Artificial microparticles for delivery of nutrients to marine suspension-feeders
Commercial development of artificial microparticles should reduce reliance on live feeds and lead to less expensive diets.

During the first year of AQUAFAN, a committee helped identify and prioritize needs of the shrimp farming and feeds industries.
The artemia crisis – and solutions
For years the salinity of the brine in Great Salt Lake has been in steady decline, affecting the ecology and its major inhabitant, the brine shrimp artemia.
