This article describes the characteristics, challenges and future of shrimp, crab, prawn, mollusc, fish and Artemia culture in Vietnam and the effects of climate change.

Though aquaculture plays an important role in providing foods and healthy diets, there are concerns regarding the environmental sustainability of prevailing practices. This study examines the trends and changes in fisheries originating from aquaculture production in Thailand and provides insights...

This article describes the history, development, business management, production factors, yields, marketing, needs, recommendations and future of aquaculture in Asia and the rest of the world are described.

Comparisons of production, water and energy efficiencies of aquaculture versus an array of fisheries and terrestrial agriculture systems show that nonfed aquaculture (e.g. shellfish, seaweeds) is among the world's most efficient mass producer of plant and animal proteins. Various fed aquaculture...

Aquaculture production in French Polynesia and New Caledonia relies upon domesticated broodstock of two introduced species (the shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris, and the fish Lates calcarifer) and on natural stock of the local pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera. For L. stylirostris, refrigeration...

In spite of all the debates and controversies, a global consensus has been reached that climate change is a reality and that it will impact, in diverse manifestations that may include increased global temperature, sea level rise, more frequent occurrence of extreme weather events, change in weather ...

This review addresses how the ecosystem approach to aquaculture (EAA) can optimize aquaculture-fisheries interactions considering different spatial scales from farm, aquaculture zone and watershed through to the global market. Aquaculture and fisheries are closely related subsectors with frequent...

This paper discussed the role of microorganisms (pathogenic and non-pathogenic) in shrimp farming and how microbial management methods such as flow cytometry coupled to cell sorting and next generation sequencing, will help amplify the current level of understanding substantially, and as such...

The use of fish as feed for aquaculture is controversial. Some say that the practice should be reduced or stopped, arguing that it is not in the interest of consumers who otherwise would have eaten the fish used. Capture fisheries produces some 90-95 million tonnes of fish per year of which between ...

Different species of microalgae, the rotifer Brachionus spp. and the brine shrimp Artemia spp. are essential live food in the farming of several species of molluscs (e.g. oyster, clam, scallop), crustaceans (e.g. marine shrimp, freshwater prawn, crabs) and fish (e.g. bass, bream, grouper,...
