Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is a widely farmed and economically important aquaculture species. However, species-specific knowledge about appropriate dietary protein requirements is limited to juveniles, cultured in experimental like conditions: indoors and in clear water. Previous...

Integrated farming methods, where filter feeders are used to absorb suspended particles have been used for treating nutrients and particulate wastes from prawn culture system. This study investigated the effects of integrating varying stocking densities of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) with western ...

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 journal emphasized the need for inter-disciplinary and innovative teamwork and cooperation among all users of aquatic resources to be able to obtain a prosperous and diversified aquaculture industry and research community in the appropriate environmental, economic and social climate. The...

The effect of biofloc size on the nutritional composition of the flocs and the nitrogen utilization by white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and mussels (Perna viridis) was investigated. Biofloc was collected from a shrimp culture unit and labeled with (¹⁵NcH₄)₂SO...

The inclusion of feeding effectors in plant-based diets is a strategy to accelerate feed detection and consumption by shrimp. This study evaluated the effect of krill meal (KM), krill oil (KO) and fish hydrolysate (FH) addition to a soybean-based diet on feeding behavior and growth of Litopenaeus...

Oyster farming in estuaries is a globally important industry based primarily around the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, for which a common technique is elevated culture on racks, trestles and other structures. We review literature on cultivation impacts, revealing a research focus and state of...

These proceedings presents papers submitted at the 29th Annual General Meeting of the Aquaculture Association of Canada, held in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, last 27-30 May, 2012. Papers are in line with the conference theme on "Frontiers: Bridging Technology and economic Growth"....

The role of light and feeding cycles in synchronizing self-feeding and locomotor activity rhythms was studied in white shrimps using a new self-feeding system activated by photocell trigger. In experiment 1, shrimps maintained under a 12:12 h light/dark (LD) photoperiod were allowed to self-feed...

The effects of diet freezing on the growth, survival and biochemical composition of the diets and juvenile spider crabs (Maja brachydactyla) were studied. Fresh and frozen (at -20°C for 21 days) mussels, Mytilus edulis, were used as food. Two experiments were conducted and in each, spider crabs...
