Underwater Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Future of Marine Fisheries
First of all, there is huge market space for underwater drone. In terms of Fisheries and aquaculture, China's aquaculture area is 8465,000 hectares, of which 27.38% is mariculture area and 72.62% is freshwater aquaculture area. There are 32,000 aquaculture farms in China, covering an area of 10 million hectares. It is necessary to check the temperature, salinity, PH value, dissolved oxygen 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 ...

Development of new methods to assess invertebrate immunology and immunotoxicology in aquaculture: oysters and lobsters as examples
In order to support healthy aquaculture, we developed assays to assess immune functions and their susceptibility to environmental conditions or toxicants. Flow cytometry allowed the rapid and quantitative analysis of oyster and lobster cell subpopulations and their functions (phagocytosis, peroxide production, natural killer cell-like activity and apoptosis). We demonstrated experimentally that ...

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 ...

Shellfish culture in Chile
The present situation and future projections regarding shellfish culture in Chile are analysed. Production has increased exponentially, mainly of the 'Chilean mussel' Mytilus chilensis (Hupe) and the 'northern scallop' Argopecten purpuratus (Lamarck). At present, seven species are cultured, two of which were introduced. The total invertebrate production corresponding to cultures has increased ...

Protecting ireland’s aquaculture
Background Mulroy Bay in North West Ireland is a pristine marine environment with a number of rare and sensitive habitats. As a result Mulroy Bay is designated as a Special Area of Conservation under the EU Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC). The sheltered nature of the bay has seen it develop into a major centre for aquaculture producing shellfish and salmon with an annual value of €30m. After ...

The Science of Genetics & Its Application to Aquaculture
Genetics is defined as that branch of the biological sciences devoted to the study of inherited variation. Genetics investigations deal with the “why” and “how” of this variation, examining both the origin of inherited variability and the resulting outward expression of characters due to this variability. The applications of genetics in today’s society are far ...

Why are antibiotic residues in farmed shrimp a big deal?
Introduction The accidental discovery of antibiotics, penicillin, by Alexander Fleming in the late 1920s (1) reshaped human and animal medicine. Initially the focus was on limiting the impact of infectious disease processes in humans. As their usage increased, it was observed that they also could play an important role in the production of animals and they eventually were deemed essential to ...

Mangroves for Coastal Resilience
Coastal wetlands such as mangrove forests strongly contribute to the safety, food security and income of tens of millions of people throughout the tropics. Wetlands International has helped to restore and conserve thousands of hectares of mangrove forests, closely working with coastal communities. We aim to increase coastal resilience and reduce disaster risk by championing and enabling ...

40 mil Pond Liner for Fish Pond Liner Projects in Philippine
Case Study Location: Philippine Products: 40 mil Pond Liner Application: Fish Pond Liner Projects Status Quo: The Philippines has more than 7,000 small islands surrounded by the sea, which is the main reason for the rich fishery resources. Unlike mineral resources, fishery resources in the sea can only be fixed. Because fish can swim, although marine fish usually have a habitual distribution in ...

U.S. Farm-Raised Finfish and Shellfish
Seafood has long been recognized as an important component of a healthy diet. Seafood contains high quality, complete protein and an important array of nutrients, while it is low in calories, cholesterol, and saturated fats. The health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids found primarily in fish have been clearly documented. U.S. farm-raised seafood is an important center of the plate choice that can ...
