Aquaculture is the keeping, breeding, hatching or culturing of fish. Fish used for aquaculture include nonpearl oysters, mussels, yabbies, marron, crayfish, abalone, prawns, freshwater and marine finfish, trochus and algae for beta carotene (ie any marine organism other than reptiles, birds and...

This work contain conference proceedings on the reproduction, physiology, feeding, diseases, culture and management of shellfish.

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, ...

Integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) maximises the nitrogen cycle between system components, including bacteria. In order to maximise the bacterial role in nitrogen elimination in an IMTA system, we investigated the effect of bivalve culture on water quality and bacterial community structure...

This study was designed to examine the impacts of ark shell Scapharca subcrenata enhancement and suspended oyster Crassostrea sikamea farming on sediment properties and fauna communities in the benthic zone of Xiangshan Bay, China. Ark shell enhancement took place over 319 days, after which...

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...

Aquaculture can substantially alter the accumulation and cycling of nutrients in sediments. However, the microbial mechanisms mediating sediment dissimilatory nitrate (NO₃^-) reduction in freshwater aquaculture ponds are still unclear, which rule the removal and retention of N element. In the...

This article describes the history, development, business management, production factors, yields, marketing, needs, recommendations and future of aquaculture in Asia and the rest of the world are described.

The integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) pond represents a unique ecosystem in which various species of aquatic organisms with different trophic levels are co-cultured together, achieving ecological and economic effects by using ecological principles. This study was designed to investigate...
