Diversification of production systems has been identified as one of the major strategies for the long-term sustainability of brackishwater aquaculture. On the context of diversification, a 180-day culture experiment was carried out where four farming systems were tested: monoculture of mud crab, ...

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...

This book "Recent advances and new species in aquaculture" is a comprehensive, up-to-date text that delivers the latest must-have information on species new to aquaculture and documents the most important technological innovations of the past decade. Every aspect of the growing field has been...

Closed polyculture of penaeid shrimp (Penaeus chinensis), Taiwan red tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus × O. niloticus) and molluscs (constricted tagelus (Sinonovacula constricta) and scallop (Argopecten irradians)) was studied from 1995 to 1997 with the enclosure experiment method. Four...

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...

Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) shell-loading in aquaculture systems can regulate water quality, a critical factor for Litopenaeus vannamei growth. However, the effects of oyster shell-loading on the bacterial community composition and their interactions during shrimp culture processes remain elusive....

Diversification of shrimp farming with marine finfish in a farmer participatory research model was attempted. The study is intended to find an economically viable finfish culture during the fallow period of shrimp farms. The Silver pompano, Trachinotus blochii intercropped with Pacific white ...

Intensive pond shrimp aquaculture produces a large quantity of organic deposits due to uneaten food and fecal matter. In this study, a laboratory feeding trial was conducted to assess the potential of using bottom-feeding mullets (Mugil cephalus) to reduce the negative impacts of marine shrimp ...

A comparative study was carried out to compare the effect of caging mullet and tilapia in a shrimp polyculture system. In six shrimp tanks (three tanks for each fish species), either mullet, Mugil cephalus (CCT-SM), or tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (CCT-ST), was stocked in cages. In three other...
