Tilapia welfare assessment protocol for semi-intensive farms in Brazil
Development and testing of tilapia welfare assessment protocol begins alignment to procedures used for other aquatic, terrestrial farm animals.
Gut microbiota modulation of Pacific white shrimp by dietary inclusion of a functional yeast cell wall‐based additive
Evaluating gut microbiota modulation in L. vannamei through dietary yeast cell wall additive improves animal performance, healthy intestinal microbiota.
Effect of aeration on the development of the microbial community in shrimp biofloc technology systems
Evaluating three aeration systems showed that air-injector nozzles produced greater microorganism diversity, biofloc development, overall shrimp productivity.
Comparing water disinfection by ozonation, UV irradiation in a brackish water RAS for Pacific white shrimp
In shrimp RAS, use of ozone stabilized water microbial composition, biofilms and shrimp carapaces, controlled nitrite and accelerated nitrate degradation.

Reviewing and summarizing available information on Arctic charr broodstock management, early hatchery rearing and areas of needed research.
Genomic prediction possible with low-density marker panels
Evaluating the use of lower-density SNP panels to accurately predict breeding values for four species shows potential for broader application.
Effects of carbohydrate sources on a biofloc shrimp nursery
In an evaluation of carbohydrate sources, corn starch performed better than molasses in promoting the growth of L. vannamei in a biofloc nursery.
Metabolically active Vibrio in postlarval shrimp digestive tracts
The occurrence and abundance of Vibrio populations impact the bacterial composition of L. vannamei shrimp during post-larval development.

An evaluation of single-trait and multi-trait approaches through larviculture study to assess domestication and aquaculture potential of wild species.
Improper use of PCR causes more harm than good
PCR testing is a valuable tool for detecting pathogens, when done correctly, but relying on it solely is not consistent with adequate biosecurity.
Frequent urination can be hazardous to health of farmed shrimp
Conditions causing frequent urination in shrimp – like sudden salinity drops combined with high virus load – can make nephrocomplex a portal for pathogens.
