With increasing concern over the environment in mariculture, the integrated culture has received extensive attention in recent years. For management of aquaculture farms, a biophysical model was developed to quantify the potential influence of bivalves-seaweed integrated culture on pelagic...

In order to realize the rapid extraction of the spatial distribution of inland freshwater aquaculture based on remote sensing images, this study chose Yixing City, Jiangsu Province as the study area and proposed a method to identify inland freshwater aquaculture ponds by combining the convolutional ...

This article highlights the 75-year achievements of the Aquatic Germplasm and Genetic Resource Center (AGGRC) characterized by a legacy of addressing real-world problems as we move into the future. It has benefitted greatly by absorbing ideas from established industries like dairy and using those...

Trap sampling was used to survey the relative abundance of juvenile fish and invertebrates near three habitats including an off-bottom oyster cage farm (cage farm), a traditional on-bottom oyster culture area (shell bottom), and a natural cobble and boulder reef (rock reef) in a coastal embayment...

Multi-tiered oyster aquaculture cages may provide habitat for fish assemblages similar to natural structured seafloor. Methods were developed to assess fish assemblages associated with aquaculture gear and boulder habitat using underwater video census combined with environmental DNA (eDNA)...

Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease(AHPND) caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an emerging bacterial disease in cultured shrimp. The disease has caused the huge economic losses to the global shrimp aquaculture industry, with annual losses of over $1 billion. All AHPND related V....

A biophysical model was used to study bivalve-seaweed integrated culture in Sungo Bay, a typical intensive longline mariculture site in China. Based on this model, the observed variations in pelagic variables and growth of cultivated species were reasonably reproduced. The results showed that the...

Pathogen contamination in the environment is inevitable with the rapid development of intensive aquaculture. Therefore, alternative ecofriendly biological strategies to control pathogenic bacteria are required. However, our aim was to investigate the ability of oysters (Crassostrea gigas) to filter ...

Molluscan shell color polymorphism as a major economic factor in aquaculture has been of increasing interest to scientists. In pearl oyster, the trait of shell nacre color is abundant and play a major role in color during the pearl production process. To understand the genetic effect and potential...

Pearls are known as "the queen of gems". The improvement of the cultured pearls quality is the focus of pearl industry and the important topic in the research field of pearls. In this paper we summarized the standard of evaluating the quality of cultured pearls in six aspects, including color,...
