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...

The first U.S. National Report on Aquaculture for the 41st U.S. Japan Natural Resources Panel on Aquaculture overviews major policy items, current trends in aquaculture production, and other important developments affecting contemporary U.S. aquaculture. Policy - April 2013 saw the release of the...

The paper provides a short overview of Brazilian aquaculture production and some of the influences affecting its development. Data on total and species-specific production are provided along with the locations, numbers of producers, their market contributions and influences. The focus is on some of ...

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.

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...

This book served as a practical guide and as a response to the great interest expressed by aquaculturists, farmers all over the world, interested students and scientists, requesting a source of general information on Biofloc technology whose primary goal was to increase aquaculture technology,...

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...

Four combinations of fish and prawn species were stocked in organic rice-fish systems to examine their growth performance, feeding habits, competitive interactions, and food-web structure. The species combinations were: (I) three fish species commonly stocked in rice-fish systems in the Lower...

This study was centred on the carbon budget of Integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems in earthen ponds stocked with the freshwater Amazon river prawn (Macrobrachium amazonicum) and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), with or without different added substrates. The experimental design...

This study evaluated the effects of microalgae (Scenedesmus obliquus) addition and fish feed supplementation on hemato-immunological parameters of Pacific white shrimp (Penaeusvannamei) and juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) cultured in integration using biofloc technology for 62 days....
