This study investigated trophic fractionation of fish-derived waste materials by co-cultured species in an integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) practice off Tongyoung Coast. Additionally, this study was aimed to identify suitable extractive species based on stable isotope analysis. Red sea...

The history and general overview of aquaculture production in Korea was presented highlighting its farming systems and cultured systems, mariculture, freshwater aquaculture, demand and trade of its aquaculture products, consumer trends, preferences and buying patterns, import-export, constraints to ...

This article discusses the expansion, intensification, and diversification of Korean aquaculture highlighting trends in capture and aquaculture production (marine finfish, freshwater fishes, seaweeds, and shellfish farming) for four decades (1971-2011).

The microsporidian Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) is an intracellular parasite that is a critical threat to the global shrimp farming industry. This parasite replicates in the hepatopancreas and midgut, and infected shrimp exhibit reduced feeding and growth retardation. In this study, we...

This contains topics on improved performance of lemon fin barb hybrid (Hypsibarbus wetmorei × Barbonymus gonionotus) at elevated salinities; enhancement of microalgal production through bacterial mineralization of ethylene glycol; embryonic and larval development of lemon fin barb hybrid (...

Protozoa are major threats to wild and cultured marine bivalves. In this study, a protozoan pathogen was isolated from the hemolymph of the Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum, in the coastal region of Chungnam province, Republic of Korea. Based on an 18S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the species...

The giant honeycomb oyster Hyotissa hyotis occurs at a high density in the shallow subtidal rocky bottom of Jeju Island off the south coast of Korea, where the sea surface temperature ranges from 14°C to 25°C seasonally. Unlike other oysters, H. hyotis has an extraordinarily large adductor muscle...

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a double-stranded DNA virus that causes the most serious losses to shrimp farmers worldwide. Since the first WSSV incidence in Iran in 2001, it has caused several outbreaks of disease with high mortality and economic loss in the Iranian shrimp farming industry....

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) expression plays a critical role in the endocrine regulation of proliferation, differentiation, and growth in shellfish as well as in fish. The Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, is a significant aquaculture species that comprises a large percentage of the Korean ...
