Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing sectors in the world. However, this may come with a cost, as increasing aquatic production is likely to impose changes in the environment. To ensure ecosystem sustainability, it is essential to think on this larger scale. This study aims to use the Delft3D...

Biocarriers play a vital role in water treatment in recirculating aquaculture systems. In this study, modified oyster shell (OS)-immobilizing denitrifying bacteria were applied as biocarriers in biofilters. The results revealed that CaCO3 was the main component of the OS calcined at 200°C (OS200),...

Cultured Greenshell™ mussels (Perna canaliculus) are exposed to biotic and abiotic stresses, all of which can negatively impact growth, fecundity, and survival. These impacts are especially pronounced in sensitive larval and spat stages and may result in substantial losses when spat are transferred ...
