Ecological impacts of fluridone and copper sulphate in catfish aquaculture ponds
Fluridone and copper sulphate are often used for controlling macrophytes and algae in aquaculture ponds. The present study examined the ecological effects of these chemicals on macrophyte, phytoplankton, and zooplankton biomass, plankton community structure, water quality parameters, and fish survival and yield in catfish culture ponds using a randomized complete block design. The estimated ...

A novel growth method for diatom algae in aquaculture waste water for natural food development and nutrient removal
Diatom algae are known to play an important role as primary producers in many diverse ecosystems, including artificial aquaculture ponds where they also aid in maintaining water quality by consuming excess nutrients. But factors influencing their growth are still poorly understood. In the present study the effect of micronutrients, N:P ratio and silica concentration on benthic diatom Synedra ...

Cutting Algae Costs
Algae are not new in the aquaculture sector. In fact, algae are in many cases indispensable for the success of the aquaculture industry. The biggest hurdles for inhouse algae production in the aquaculture industry are the high costs, the labour intensiveness, and the complexity of maintaining healthy algae cultures. Traditionally, hatcheries have been using big plastic bag type systems and bubble ...

Industrial Plankton, the Victoria Company Working With Algae
Industrial Plankton’s photobioreactors make business easier for companies around the world. And they are located in Victoria! Using traditional methods, algae production can be a difficult and error-prone process. “We found out that everybody in aquaculture was having trouble growing algae, and they were doing it with old-school methodologies,” says Robert Roulston, CEO of ...

Monitoring greenhouse gases from biofuel crops
Global issues such as climate change and energy security have driven rapid growth in renewable energy production - wind, solar, tidal, geothermal, hydro, biofuels etc. However, logically, each of these methods should deliver a net benefit in terms of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction, so researchers in the United States have employed portable FTIR analysers to study the GHG emissions of biomass ...

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, ...
