To support its continuous growth, the company plans to strengthen its technology, R&D, engineering, project management, customer support and purchasing departments.
Australian startup Genics, which spun-out of CSIRO, will commercialize a new test that can detect 13 commercially significant shrimp diseases, including white spot syndrome and infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV).
Study highlights that the profitability of Artemia farms are significantly affected by farming scale, production model and the interaction between these factors.
Chitose Group, a Japanese group of bioventure companies, has expanded its Spirulina production capacity with a new facility in Brunei. Spirulina is sold as a supplement for human consumption, but the company also targets the aquaculture industry as live prey food and an alternative ingredient for aquafeeds.
A new federal order requires that imported shipments of all live fish, fertilized eggs and gametes from TiLV-susceptible species now have a USDA import permit, official health certificate and veterinary inspection.
Earlier this year, the Health Canada Veterinary Drugs Directorate (VDD) approved RPS Biologiques’ veterinary health products (VHP), Supratect-L and Supratect-, a veterinary health products made entirely from common plant materials that supports healthy fish and fish eggs.
Researchers from the University of Gothenburg have developed a species-specific feed to meet the need for suitable nutrients for lobster larvae.
The company announced the dissolution of its joint venture with AquaChile and the opportunity it had to control the salmon breeding operation in Chile and pursue an independent strategy.
Troutlodge has been designated as a RSPCA Assured producer of rainbow trout, a certification of high animal welfare standards in all areas of production.
Researchers found that it is possible to change the fatty acid composition of farmed salmon through breeding. It can further help to utilize omega-3 in feed more effectively.
The breeding and genetics division conducts research and provides services for the development and operation of aquaculture breeding programs where the use of genomic information plays a central role.
After three years of research in an R&D facility located in southern Israel, AquaMaof has successfully adapted its RAS technology for land-based production of shrimp with high-survival rates and disease-free results. It will be ready for market in 2020.
FRIPPAK range wins the Best Functional Product in Chinese Aquaculture Feed Industry 2019 award.
This paper, published in 2001, reviews the knowledge on shrimp broodstock nutrition, with special reference to developments during the previous decade.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of dietary regime on muscle composition, and liver lipids prior to induced maturation, and the resulting sperm composition and performance.
This experiment suggests that a mix of Bacillus sp. can promote growth through an early maturation of the digestive system during the early larval stages of pompano and snook.
This paper reviewed the studies on the maturation diets for mud crab broodstock, genus Scylla and compared independently to identify their effect on reproductive performance and larval quality. This review also discusses the problems in the previous studies for the potential future research to develop very high quality and cost-effective formulated diet for the enhancement of broodstock and seed production technology. Information from this review can be useful in developing a better quality of crustacean broodstock’s diet for commercial hatchery production.
The aim of this paper is to provide explanations of how dietary phospholipid (PL) globally improves fish larval development, including growth and survival, digestive functions and skeletal development, and to propose optimal PL levels and sources in fish larval diets
Despite considerable progress in recent years, many questions regarding fish larval nutrition remain largely unanswered, and several research avenues remain open. A holistic understanding of the supply line of nutrients is important for developing diets for use in larval culture and for the adaptation of rearing conditions that meet the larval requirements for the optimal presentation of food organisms and/or microdiets. The aim of the present review is to revise the state of the art and to pinpoint the gaps in knowledge regarding larval nutritional requirements, the nutritional value of live feeds and challenges and opportunities in the development of formulated larval diets.
This study uncovered the reason why 90 percent of fish larvae are biologically doomed to die mere days after hatching. The research suggests that "hydrodynamic starvation," or the physical inability to feed due to environmental incompatibility, is the reason so many fish larvae perish.
