Tidal impoundments have been used for centuries to enhance aquaculture production worldwide. Here, we examine the potential for lobster pounds, tidal impoundments common to Maine, USA, and Atlantic Canada, to serve as boundary objects that bridge the gap between the fishing and aquaculture...

The Richibucto environment and resource enhancement project was started in 1995 with the objective of contributing to the social, recreational and economic well being of the residents of the Richibucto river basin (New Brunswick, Canada). An overview of the aquaculture-related studies that form...

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...

Abstracts are those of articles presented at the annual meeting of the West Coast Section, National Shellfisheries Association, Tumwater, Washington, USA in September 1980. Articles appropriate to NAR/B were: Intertidal culture of the Manila clam Tapes japonica using hatchery-reared seed clams and...

Oyster recruitment to spat collectors can result in the clumping of two or more individuals, whereby they naturally cement to each other's shells. On-bottom oyster farmers typically separate these oysters and re-deploy them on the seafloor, potentially exposing them to predators. This raises the...

This special publication of the Canadian Aquaculture Research and Development Review 2013 (no.23) is an ongoing compendium of the aquaculture research and development projects that have been underway over the past two years from all across Canada. The review contains over 220 project descriptions...

Fenced enclosures have successfully been used for the protection of mussel seed (Mytilus edulis) from predation by green crab (Carcinus maenas). Similarly, it has been previously demonstrated that it is possible to fence scallops on the seabed to prevent intrusion of the brown crab (Cancer pagurus...

The green crab (Carcinus maenas) has been classified as one of the top 100 world's worst invaders because it can have devastating effects on fisheries and aquaculture operations. Since the invasion of the green crab to Newfoundland in 2007, American lobster (Homarus americanus) landings in...

In this special publication (no. 16) of the Aquaculture Association of Canada a review on the project (over 220) descriptions detailing an impressive range of topics, disciplines, and species from across the vast geography of Canada was presented. Projects include marine and freshwater species,...

This supplement contains the proceedings of contributed papers in the 26th Annual Meeting of the Aquaculture Association of Canada. Focus is given on the challenges faced by the aquaculture industry and the measures that can be taken to meet them. A total of 17 papers are included. Several papers...
