Evaluating heritability of growth, cold tolerance in Chinese white shrimp
Results of this study showed low heritability and a low correlation between growth and cold tolerance traits for Chinese white shrimp juveniles.
Preventing high ammonia-induced toxicity in cultured fish
This study shows that cessation to feeding may not be the best strategy to manage ammonia toxicity to fish in aquaculture systems that have ammonia spikes.
Shrimp grown in biofloc systems with different carbon sources
Study shows biofloc has positive effects on the immune response of Pacific white shrimp juveniles and can result in increased resistance to the IMNV virus.
Detection of an amoebic parasite in cultured Pacific white shrimp
This study describes an amoebic parasite infection in Pacific white shrimp cultured in an anonymous shrimp hatchery. The diseased shrimp exhibited grossly reduced appetite, lethargy, respiratory distress, eroded carapaces and blackened gills.
Organic acids and autolyzed yeast reduce impact of pathogens in fish
Organic acids and autolyzed yeast products can reduce the impact of pathogens like microorganisms, viruses, parasites and fungi, supporting performance and profitability.
New paradigms to help solve the global aquaculture disease crisis
Authors argue that interventions – like automated detection of pathogens and remote sensing applications – can help mitigate aquaculture's disease crisis.
Evaluating biofloc technology for the freshwater fish piracanjuba
This study evaluated the growth performance of the freshwater fish piracanjuba raised in biofloc and clear-water systems for 34 days.
Challenging Pacific white postlarvae with AHPND
Study results indicate that P. vannamei challenged with AHPND in biofloc had higher survival rates than shrimp challenged in clear water.
Efficacy of natural products and antibiotics in shrimp hatcheries
This study evaluated through in vitro analyses the antimicrobial effectiveness of natural products used for P. vannamei bacterial diseases and antibiotics against pathogenic Vibrio strains circulating in Ecuadorian hatcheries.
Researchers examine antimicrobial resistance potential in aquaculture
The influence of antibiotics in fish and their effects on the gut microbiome aren’t well understood, says research team examining antimicrobial resistance.
What clues does fish mucus hold in the fight against antimicrobial resistance?
As current antibiotics dwindle in effectiveness against multidrug-resistant pathogens, researchers are seeking potential replacements in some unlikely places.
Replacing dietary fish oil with palm oil in Nile tilapia
Authors investigated the effects of replacing dietary fish oil with palm oil in juvenile Nile tilapia, and demonstrated that growth and feed utilization were not compromised when palm oil was used either partially or totally.
White Feces Syndrome in shrimp: Predictor of EHP?
Study demonstrates strong association between White Feces Syndrome and Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei in EHP-endemic regions. Biosecurity strategies can minimize the risk of pathogen’s spread in the Americas.
Hybrid tilapia culture in an outdoor biofloc production system
This study in an outdoor biofloc technology production system evaluated impacts on fish production indices, common microbial off-flavors and water quality dynamics for hybrid tilapia.
Effect of multiple feedings and a low-fishmeal, amino acid-supplemented diet in Pacific white shrimp
Effect of multiple feedings and a low-fishmeal, amino acid-supplemented diet in Pacific white shrimp
This study evaluated the effect of feeding juvenile L. vannamei several times a day versus two and four times – manually or with an automatic feeder – with a low-fishmeal diet supplemented with crystalline amino acids.
Enteritis induction by soybean meal in totoaba diets
This study investigated the effects of increasing levels of dietary soybean meal (SBM) with constant taurine supply in the induction of enteritis in juvenile totoaba.
