Diversification of production systems has been identified as one of the major strategies for the long-term sustainability of brackishwater aquaculture. On the context of diversification, a 180-day culture experiment was carried out where four farming systems were tested: monoculture of mud crab, ...

The current study aimed to evaluate the role of polyculture engineering technology on milkfish and mud crab farming and observe the growth and survivability of different milkfish and mud crab combinations. The study used milkfish, which was received artificial feed containing 35% protein content...

Aim: The experiment was conducted to determine the suitability of using scad fish, Acetes shrimp and common squid for the direct and indirect application as diets for the juvenile rearing of the blue swimming crab Portunus pelagicus. Methodology: A total of 54 crab juveniles with an initial weight...

This special issue contains topics on fisheries and aquaculture, including A recruitment forecasting model for the Pacific stock of the Japanese sardine (Sardinops melanostictus); population structure and reproductive parameters of the longneck croaker Pseudotolithus typus in nearshore waters of...

A feeding trial was carried out to evaluate the utilization of residual nutrients from shrimp farming wastes (SFW) as co-feed in juvenile grey mullets Mugil cephalus. Four treatments were designed to offer shrimp farming wastes in different proportions as feed. The first treatment (control)...

Germplasm are the genetic materials of germ cells, including gametes, embryos, or larvae. Preservation of germplasm is usually achieved through cryopreservation. The technology of cryopreservation has been applied for human artificial reproduction as a clinical treatment for infertility and for...

Aquaculture is a growing industry with an annual growth rate that is far superior to the population growth rate. Most production occurs in lower- and middle-income countries, and therefore, they can improve the efficiency and modernize the production systems to increase exports to earn foreign...

Aquaculture farms, such as the ones that produce mollusks, marine fish, and shrimp, require a constant supply of microalgae biomass as feed. Microalgae cultures are subject to failures in continuity; therefore, concentrated inocula could be used during episodes of crashes to reestablish the...

In coastal China, the clam-shrimp polyculture system is a new model of seawater aquaculture. A 60-day rearing experiment was performed to evaluate the effects of commercial effective microorganisms (EM) bacteria liquid, containing bacillus, photosynthetic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria and...

Hatcheries providing seed for bivalve mollusc aquaculture can suffer from disease outbreaks resulting in high losses of larvae. Previous research demonstrated the effectiveness of candidate probiotics Phaeobacter inhibens S4 (S4) and Bacillus pumilus RI06-95 (RI) in protecting the larvae of eastern ...
