This book covers all aspects of subsistence and commercial aquaculture practiced around the world and would be of use to aquaculture students and those involved in the aquaculture industry and fish farms, research institutions, teaching, and aquaculture equipment and feed suppliers. The new...

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...

Using the hard clam farms in Yunlin, Taiwan as examples, this study analyzes the effects of culture area, stocking density, and shrimp and fish polyculture on the cost efficiency (CE) of hard clam farming. A data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used to estimate the farms' technical efficiency (TE),...

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 work develops, applies, and tests a methodology for simulating three key determinants of aquaculture carrying capacity: production, environmental effects, and pathogen interactions. Deterministic models for simulation of biomass production and environmental effects for fish and shellfish were...

Extreme climate events are increasingly challenging the growth of the marine aquaculture sector, causing local influences on species performance and affecting production and yield - impacting where to locate cage aquaculture facilities. Here we produced scenario-based quantitative maps using...

The ability of bivalve culture in the proximity of an open water fin fish farm to reduce the environmental impact caused by organic wastes was tested. The experiment involved floating net cages containing cultured gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) and European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) in...

More than 26 billion juveniles of 180 marine species are released annually into the wild in over 20 countries, but the usefulness of this strategy remains unclear. Here, I analyse the effects of stocking by Japanese marine and salmon stock enhancement programmes and evaluate their efficacy through...

The functional value of oyster reefs is recognized in many estuarine systems, with increasing interest in oyster reef restoration for ecological function rather than for oyster fishery production. Reefs provide structure and refuge for juvenile fish and crustaceans, and may be loci for predator...

The total organic aquaculture production in Italy in 2015 was of 2347 t, and it accounted for almost 1.1% of the total aquaculture production. This situation is comparable with that of other western countries, where organic production accounts for about 1.5-2% of the total aquaculture production....
