Salmon aquaculture could incorporate seaweed and sea urchins to reduce nitrogen enrichment
Farming fish together with seaweed and other species could help improve the sustainability of aquaculture and reduce pollution. A new study provides a tool for designing sustainable fish farming systems and calculates their potential to recycle waste. An example of a salmon farming system incorporating seaweed and sea urchins could reduce nitrogen releases to the environment by 45%. Over half of ...

Biological water treatment in aquaculture by means of “Mutag BioChip™ RAS Process“
Aquaculture or fish farming means the artificial breeding and raising of aquatic creatures. They include fish as well as crustaceans and shellfish, which are raised and stocked under controlled conditions by using techniques and technologies offering an increased level of productivity which cannot be realized under natural conditions. Due to the increased demand for freshly caught fish and ...

Understanding biofloc in aquaculture production systems (Part 2)
Sludge at harvest time, etc. There is not a single universal set of guidelines that can be followed, i.e. a recipe, for the production of biofloc. There are, however, some consistent features of these systems and understanding what they are and ensuring that the system is conducive to the formation of these particulate materials will go a long way towards ensuring that a degree of reproducibility ...

Monitoring Ozone (in the air) in Hatchery & Fish Farm Ozone Injection Systems
Hatcheries, fish farms and such in the aquaculture industry require clean water to maintain a high survival rate while rearing aquatic animals. Contaminated water increases the risk of infection which in turn can compromise production. A common way to disinfect water is by generating ozone on-site with an ozone generator, which is commonly inside an ozone generator room. For human safety, the ...

Bioeconomic modelling and salmon aquaculture: an overview of the literature
Bioeconomic models can be used to assist producers and decision-makers in identifying optimal production system designs, operation management strategies, and alternative development and policy approaches. This paper reviews the literature on bioeconomic modelling in aquaculture since 1993 and builds on an earlier article by Leung (1994) which examines this literature for the 1974-1993 period. In ...

Aquaculture and sustainable development: a regulatory or governance system?
Governance is defined as a process allowing actors to contextualise the regulatory system and, as a result, to transform sustainable development (SD) into an instrument of action. It will be all the easier for actors to familiarise themselves with SD and its implementation measures if these measures are similar to their representation on SD and its consequences on their activity and social life. ...

Practical check list for having your own shrimp farm
Everyone wants their own sustainable shrimp farm; it has become a booming interest among entrepreneurs and investors. It is very tempting, to build your own “golden egg”, close to a big city, with huge demand for fresh and healthy shrimp. It has never looked so easy, especially when there are companies that provides a turn key technology solution and all you need is a small land and ...

Artificial Intelligence in Aquaculture
The seventh and final installment in the series “Happy Fish – How Aquaculture Operators are Growing Better Fish.” While we will only be able to scratch the surface of this topic, there is great potential in machine learning and artificial intelligence applied with aquaculture and fish farm systems. We wanted to ask leading industry experts Matt Clarke of Poseidon Ocean Systems, ...

Water budgets for freshwater fish ponds of Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal, India
The water budgets for some aquaculture systems in three states viz. Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal were determined in the present study. The average evaporation and seepage loss from the aquaculture ponds throughout the year in Cuttack, Kendrapara, Jajpur, and Puri districts of Orissa were 164 ± 8.3 and 73 ± 16.5 cm, respectively; 152 ± 10 and 90 ± 16 cm, respectively, in South and ...

Carbon footprint of aquaculture in eastern India
The present study was conducted to determine the carbon (C) footprint of different aquaculture production systems in India. The total input (kg CE/ha) in different cultures, respectively, was 1,811 to 4,144 for scampi, 4,417 to 5,913 for polyculture, 4,090 to 8,873 for shrimp and 2,417 to 2,786 for carp. Of the total inputs, feed accounts for around 90% of carbon equivalent (CE), in all ...

Understanding biofloc in aquaculture production systems (Part 1)
Since 2009, protein from aquaculture production has surpassed that of fisheries for the first time in history. Aquaculture is simply a water-based agriculture with a long history. It is an essential source of nutrition, as well as a source of income for large number of communities. Aquaculture is here to stay, despite opposition to aquaculture from segments of the NGO community and commercial ...

CO2 Removal and Stripping Column Ventilation Rate at Bell Aquaculture
Monitoring and controlling CO2 level in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) is crucial not only for fish health but it is used increasingly for efficient management. Under supervision of Steve Summerfelt, a joint project has studied costs savings with optimizing ventilation based on CO2 continuous monitoring. The CO2 probe used in that project came from ...

Phosphatase activity and specific methanogenic activity in an anaerobic reactor treating sludge from a brackish recirculation aquaculture system
Anaerobic treatment of high salinity sludge from marine/brackish recirculation aquaculture systems is potentially limited by inhibition of enzymatic activities and cell lysis resulting from high osmotic pressures. To further address these limitations the following investigations were conducted: effect of salinity on phosphatase activity (PA), soluble microbial products (SMP) production, and ...
