Aquaculture in Brazil probably started in the 17th century, during the Dutch occupation of the northeastern region. Currently, this activity can be divided into five main sectors, defined by tradition and type of cultured organism: freshwater fish, marine shrimp, mollusks, freshwater prawns and...

Cannibalism is a major problem in lobster and crab aquaculture. Reducing the aggressive characteristics of lobsters and crabs can improve survival during the culturing process. In this study, juvenile scalloped spiny lobsters (Panulirus homarus) and crucifix crabs (Charybdis feriatus) were both...

The indigenous oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense) is distributed throughout China and is farmed on a large scale. Adverse selection and inbreeding are common problems in M. nipponense farming; large-sized prawns were sold to the market for high prices, leaving the remaining small ...

Aquaculture development in Tamaulipas has been based on aquaculture farming experiences of other Mexican states and has been subject to Mexican government programs and strategies aimed at supporting farmers. The main objective of this study was to determine the economic and financial feasibility of ...

Water quality of inlet water and pond water in representative aquafarms had been monitored in order to investigate the pollution status of nitrogen and phosphorus in freshwater aquaculture in Shanghai. The results showed that the annual average concentrations of total nitrogen (TN) and total...

The current culture systems, speices cultured, hatchery location, support groups and sustainable potentials of aquaculture in Mindanao (second largest of the three major slands in the Philippines) were presented.

Background and Aim: White spot disease (WSD) is a highly lethal and contagious viral disease in marine shrimp caused by the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). White spot disease impacts the worldwide crustacean aquaculture sector, including Thailand. This study aimed to investigate the effect of...

In recent years, the coculture of organisms from different trophic levels has been practiced to improve water quality and nutrient consumption. In this context, this study evaluated the effect of Crassostrea stocking density on zootechnical performance and water quality of Litopenaeus vannamei...

Most studies using Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) systems in shrimp aquaculture have assessed the feasibility of culturing non-native bivalve species. However, studies including native species are limited and could represent a better alternative since these organisms are adapted to...

The failure of tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) farming could make farmers stop their cultivation activities. As an alternative, vannamei shrimp cultivation gives hope for productive, profitable, and sustainable cultivation. The development of shrimp farming in Tegal City is carried out through...
