This paper discusses the rapid growth and status of aquaculture in Chile. The major cultured species (salmonids, turbot, seaweeds and byproducts, molluscs) and markets are presented. The innovations and development in aquaculture are also discussed. The weaknesses and strengths of aquaculture in...

Preventing vibriosis in juvenile cultured Turbot Scophthalmus maximus caused by Vibrio anguillarum frequently requires the use of feed supplemented with antibiotics in addition to vaccines. Whether the use of probiotics instead of antibiotics in juvenile Turbot is a safer strategy requires more...

The reduction of the fish and non-fish resources in the World Ocean (in particular in the Black Sea) over the last 20 - 30 years is an indisputable fact. This is due to many factors, but anthropogenic ones are dominant. Among them the most important are overfishing of hydrobionts, poor water...

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether meat from blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) harvested from offshore structures could be used as an alternative protein source in aquaculture fish feed for turbot (Scophthalmus maximus). Two feeding experiments with turbot were conducted in an initial ...

Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) is a commercially important fish species in China. Despite of its great economic potential, fish farms often suffer severe economic losses due to certain fish diseases. Vaccination has become a common strategy to prevent diseases caused by pathogens in aquaculture...

Background: The increasing demand for raw or undercooked fish products, supplied by both aquaculture and fisheries, raises concerns about the transmission risk to humans of zoonotic fish parasites. This has led to the current European Union (EU) Regulation No 1276/2011 amending Annex III of...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of enzymolysis product of scallop cooking liquid (EPS) on growth performance, body composition immune capacity, antioxidant capacity and intestinal digestive enzymes of juvenile turbot. Juvenile turbot were fed five diets for 56 days with...

Over the last three decades, the causative agent of viral encephalopathy and retinopathy (VER) disease has become a serious problem of marine finfish aquaculture, and more recently the disease has also been associated with farmed freshwater fish. The virus has been classified as a Betanodavirus...

Megalocytivirus is a member of Iridoviridae family and causes very high economic losses in fish farming. Megalocytivirus has three species, Infectious Spleen and Kidney Necrosis Virus (ISKNV), Red Sea Bream Iridovirus (RSIV), and Turbot Reddish Body Iridovirus (TRBIV). This study aims to detect...
