Estimating preferences for non-market attributes of aquaculture and sustainable seafood production: methods and empirical applications
If aquaculture is to promote sustainable seafood production, the public must be willing to accept associated tradeoffs. Tradeoffs may include impacts on a variety of environmental and social attributes. Public preferences for aquaculture may differ according to type of operation, species, region, and other factors. Stated preference methods can assist policymakers in designing balanced, ...

Aquaculture induced erosion of tropical coastlines throws coastal communities back into poverty
Shallow tropical coastlines harbour unique mangrove ecosystems, which support livelihoods and provide a natural barrier against coastal flooding. Non-sustainable land-use practices, such as large-scale clear cutting of mangroves for aquaculture, ground water withdrawal and alteration of river flows, result in rapid subsidence. The collapse of aquaculture production, due to pollution and disease, ...

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 ...

Biofloc Systems in Aquaculture: How Harnessing Beneficial Bacteria Is Revolutionizing Aquaculture
With almost eight billion people on earth, the demand for aquatic food is increasing. Aquaculture production is projected to rise from 40 million Metric Tons by 2008 to 82 million Metric Tons in 2050. Moreover, the expansion of aquaculture is also restricted due to land costs and by its strong dependence on fishmeal and fish oil. Additionally, environmental degradation and pollution have been ...
