Shrimp mortality due to luminous bacteria has been a problem of the shrimp industry worldwide. Polyculture of shrimp with finfish, such as grouper, seabass, snapper, siganid, Tilapia hornorum, and the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT), could control the growth of luminous bacteria. One way ...

Abstracts are those of articles presented at the annual meeting of the National Shellfisheries Association in Hyannis, Massachusetts, USA in June 1980. Articles appropriate to NAR/B were: Nonradiological studies of tray-held oysters, Crassostrea virginica, in the vicinity of the Calvert Cliffs...

We examined co-culture of Scylla olivacea with different brackishwater fishes in confined earthen ponds to promote livelihood options for coastal farmers. Culture duration was 240 days. Significantly higher (p < .05) mean body weight was recorded for Scylla olivacea (201.3 ± 8.02 g) in crab-grey mullet (T₁) and among different fish...

This work proposes a method for the statistical monitoring of the weekly weight of shrimp in a fish farm. The design of control charts for shrimp growth presents several challenges, the main ones being the presence of trend and autocorrelation. Several control charts are proposed, the most...

While the UK is the fourth largest aquaculture producer in Europe by volume, it is the second largest by value with an annual first sale value of around £1 billion. Over 90% of this value is from Atlantic salmon farmed in Scotland, but other finfish and shellfish aquaculture species are important...

Elodea nuttallii is widely planted in shrimp and crab aquaculture ponds. However, the simultaneous growth of Cladophora causes a number of problems, such as niche occupation, nutrient depletion, and disruption of the pond ecosystem balance. To date, how to restrict the growth of Cladophora without...

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...

The oyster Crassostrea gigas is a major, global aquaculture species. As with any domestically-farmed species, the characterization of breeding lines that yield desired phenotypes is of immense value. An understanding of the fundamental biological bases of such phenotypes is needed to enhance ...

This article talks about Skretting, an aquaculture research centre in Norway, and their initiatives in aquaculture. Such initiatives include culturing and managing entire aquatic ecosystems aside from the farming aspect of aquaculture, protecting and managing water as a resource for acuaculture,...

This review reports on aquaculture development trends and challenges during 2000-2018 in the European Region covering 51 countries including European Union member states. Aquaculture production in the European Region is composed of marine molluscs and diadromous, marine and freshwater fish. It...
