José Antonio Camposano, executive president of Ecuador’s national chamber of aquaculture (CNA), provides the country’s latest shrimp production figures, thoughts on sustainability and reflections on the chamber’s new partnership with The Fish Site.
As the aquaculture industry expands, it needs every feed option – both conventional and alternative – at its disposal. But what steps can the sector take to bring sustainable feed ingredients online?
Indonesian shrimp farmers now have access to – and would be wise to implement – a new range of easy, fast and precise water quality management systems.
IntegraSEE’s CEO, Lawrence Taylor, explains how monitoring the behaviour of a handful of mussels in a MarineCanary unit can alert aquaculture operators to water quality issues, including pollution, pathogens and temperature anomalies.
Indonesia’s aquafeed producers – be they industrial players or farmers who produce feed independently – are increasingly looking towards the use of local and sustainable alternatives to fish meal and soy.
Lowering water levels and poor communications from hydro-electric companies are combining to put pressure on tilapia farmers in the west of São Paulo state, Brazil.
Catfishes have surpassed tilapia in global aquaculture production and – helped in part by the sheer number of their species and their extensive geographical range – they are set to remain at the top table.
As shrimp producers across the globe face more extreme weather events due to climate change, the Alune* farming experts give their advice on how farmers can prepare for the rainy season and keep their ponds healthy.
ThinkAqua, a new aquaculture non-profit, aims to promote innovation among small-scale fish and shrimp producers around the world, as Anton Immink, its CEO, explains.
Devices that produce nanobubbles are becoming increasingly popular in a range of aquaculture operations, with a growing number of studies supporting their value – both in improving production and in reducing the environmental impact of the industry.
