Water quality sensors protect the health of aquaculture fish
Water quality sensor are an essential tool for aquaculture farmers, as they provide accurate and real-time data on the water conditions, allowing farmers to take timely and appropriate actions to protect the health of their fish. Aquaculture, the farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, shellfish, and seaweed, is an important industry that provides food, employment. However, maintaining the ...

Zambia Fish Pond Liner–A New Force of African Tilapia Culture
Introduction Zambia is a country rich in natural resources. 40% of Zambia’s area is covered by freshwater, including the Kariba Reservoir located between Zambia and Zimbabwe, with a water capacity of 5,400 cubic kilometers, which is the most suitable for the development of aquaculture. Lake resources are one of Zambia’s advantages, and Zambia’s soybean industry is also very ...

Pilot scale testing of advanced oxidation processes for degradation of geosmin and MIB in recirculated aquaculture
The presence of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) in recirculated aquaculture systems has a significant negative impact on the fish production due to poor flavour quality of produced fish and increased risk of rejection by fish processers. Advanced Oxidation Processes has a high potential for removal of geosmin and MIB in water and in this study UV/H2O2 and UV/O3 has been tested in pilot scale ...

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 ...

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 ...

The big shrimp farming debate: clear-water v. biofloc
In recent years, the global market for seafood products, including fresh shrimp, has grown, alongside consumer awareness of and demand for sustainably-sourced produce. This has resulted in a shift from traditional pond culture of shrimp, to closed systems that are closer to market, feature enhanced biosecurity, have a minimal environmental impact, and result in improved shrimp production. A tale ...

Recirculatory Aquaculture System (RAS)
Introduction: Recirculation Aquaculture System (RAS) is a generation in which water is recycled and reused after filtration and elimination of suspended rely and metabolites. The approach is used for highdensity lifestyle of diverse species of fish utilising minimal land place and water. It is an in depth approach (better densities and greater rigorous management) than different aquaculture ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Importance of Water Quality in Fish Farming
Due to the increasing global demand for fish as a source of food, around half of the world’s fish supply is now farmed artificially rather than caught through capture fisheries in natural environments. Aquaculture has been the fastest growing sector of the global food industry since the 1970s, and has predominately taken place in the Asia-Pacific region. Water quality management in ...

Effects of different management regimes on mangrove ecosystem services in Java, Indonesia
This new report, published by Wageningen University and Wetlands International, seeks to fill a significant gap in mangrove ecosystem service estimates. While several studies have sought to measure and value the ecosystem services provided by mangrove ecosystems in general, this new piece of research has for the first time conducted separate evaluations for zones that are characterised by ...

Land-based Aquaculture: Meeting the Challenge of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
In 2015, all United Nations Member States agreed to 17 Global Goals, officially known as the Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs. These goals serve as a call to action aimed at ending poverty, fighting inequality and addressing the urgency of climate change, by 2030. They are part of a broader global movement encouraging all industries — including aquaculture — to adopt more ...
