Inauguration of the pilot production plant in Spain
We have recently inaugurated our pilot production plant in Spain (San Pedro de Pinatar, Murcia). This plant is located in IMIDA – Instituto Murciano de Investigación y Desarrollo Agrario y Alimentario and was constructed to support the Algafeed Project, which has the aim to develop new fish feed based on marine microalgae. Preliminary results on the feed formulation are already quite ...

MEASURING BIOCONCENTRATION FACTORS IN FISH USING EXPOSURE TO MULTIPLE CHEMICALS AND INTERNAL BENCHMARKING TO CORRECT FOR GROWTH DILUTION
Modern chemical legislation requires the measurement of the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of large numbers of chemicals in fish. The BCF needs to be corrected for growth dilution as fish growth rates vary between laboratories. Two hypotheses were tested: (1) BCFs of multiple chemicals can be measured simultaneously in one experiment, and (2) internal benchmarking using a conservative test ...

Decreasing degasser aeration to increase buffer capacity
Fish and bacteria produce CO2 into the production water of RAS farms. If 100 kg of CO2 is produced in a single day, 100 kg of CO2 should be removed. Otherwise CO2 will accumulate in the system. If pH is low the accumulation of CO2 in the system is seen as elevated levels of free CO2. If the pH is higher, the free CO2 will bind in the water as bicarbonate. Accumulation of CO2 can have detrimental ...

Global transcriptomic profiling in barramundi Lates calcarcifer from rivers impacted by differing agricultural land‐uses
Most catchments discharging into the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) lagoon have elevated loads of suspended sediment, nutrients, and pesticides, including photosystem II inhibiting herbicides, associated with upstream agricultural land use. To investigate potential impacts of declining water quality on fish physiology, RNASeq was used to characterize and compare the hepatic transcriptomes of ...

Fathead Minnow response to broad‐range exposure of β‐sitosterol concentrations during life cycle testing
β‐sitosterol concentration in pulp and paper mill effluents is typically greater than other phytosterols, and has been shown to cause a variety of effects in fish. We exposed Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) to low (22 ± 0.93 µg/L), medium‐low (70 ± 2.1µg/L), medium‐high (237 ± 5.5 µg/L), and high (745 ± 16.2 µg/L) concentrations of β‐sitosterol; and a negative (water), positive (ethynyl ...

Floating fish feed pellet formulation
Floating Fish feed is feed for fish. Its main ingredients are protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. Protein is an important nutrient for fish and shrimp to survive, and an important component of the body's cells, tissues and organs.The most popular type is extruding fish feed pellet ,which is puffed by floating fish feed pellet machine. The normal growth of fish requires a sufficient amount of ...

Six characteristics of extruded feed
Our country is the world’s largest aquatic feed producer, and its aquatic feed production accounts for about half of the world’s total production. In recent years, among the rapidly developing aquatic feed varieties, extruded feed has developed most rapidly and has become a bright spot and growth point in the aquatic feed industry. However, under the conditions of puffing processing, the ...

Prevent Fish Kill in the Spring
Pond Deicing Can Help Prevent Fish Kill Keeping the pond open will help keep oxygen in the water, attract water fowl and help prevent fish kills in the spring. The most common cause of fish kills is suffocation due to lack of dissolved oxygen. Most dissolved oxygen is produced by algae and aquatic plants through photosynthesis. A lesser but also important source of oxygen in water is diffusion ...

Mode of Action and Growth Toxicity of Arsenic to Tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus Can Be Determined Bioenergetically
Abstract We present a bioenergetics-based approach to analyze the chronic effects and growth toxicity mode of action in tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus exposed to waterborne As and to predict fish growth under different exposure scenarios. 7-day exposure bioassays showed that tilapia accumulate As when exposed to waterborne As. We conducted growth bioassays to assess chronic As toxicity to ...

Effect of three fungicides on in vitro growth of Fusarium solani and Fusarium semitectum, parasitic on Odontesthes bonariensis eggs
An in vitro evaluation of the effect of three fungicides on the growth rate (GR) of Fusarium solani and Fusarium semitectum was performed. The tested fungicides, commonly used in fish farming, were sodium chloride (NaCl), methanol-stabilised formaldehyde (F) and malachite green (MG). Both Fusarium species were isolated from eggs of the Argentinean pejerrey Odontesthes bonariensis (Valenciennes, ...

Fish farming at Kontiolahti
At Kontiolahti Fish farm the cuttings of salmon, trout and rainbow trout are cultivated to juveniles. Spawn is hatched and the juveniles of 0+ age-class are farmed inside. The older juveniles are farmed outside in surface basins. The water flow is 100-170 l/s depending on the season. Situation in the beginning The oxygen rate of the becoming water to the farm was not enough time to time, only ...
