Low levels of freshwater fish oil can go a long way in improving performance indicators of aquacultured hybrid catfish broodstock. This was observed in hybrid catfish broodstock fed with one and two per cent FFO-supplemented diets in an experiment at the Maejo University in Thailand.

“We found out that supplementation of low levels of freshwater fish oil to standard manufactured fish food improves overall condition and increases reproductive indicators in hybrid catfish broodsto

Arctic Fish’s subsidiary, Arctic Smolt, located in Iceland’s Westfjords, has entered into two separate agreements to pursue the expansion of its smolt facility at Nordur Botn in Tálknafjördur, Iceland. The project will have an estimated cost of €24 million (approx. CAD $35.7 million), making it one of the largest private investment projects in the Westfjords.

One contract is with Eykt, an Icelandic construction company which will design and construct the b

The Russian Economic Development Ministry has published a draft bill proposing to withdraw African Clarius catfish (Clarias gariepinus) under the 2014 food embargo. If approved, in theory, the bill could help other fish farms to battle for foreign broodstock. 

Russia completely banned the import of broodstock among other food and agricultural products on Aug. 7, 2014. 

The goal was to limit market access for countries, which had supported se

During Aqua Nor 2021, held in Trondheim, Norway, Cermaq has been recognized and awarded the Fish Welfare Prize from the Fish Welfare Forum, for its improvement work and the results it has reaped, which was developed at Cermaq’s fry plant Holmvåg in Steigen, Norway. These efforts have improved the quality and survival of the fry.

Cermaq’s fry facility, Holmvåg, specializes on the earliest stages of the salmon’s lifecycle, from roe to fry. The facility&rsqu

Benchmark Genetics has signed a long-term agreement with Premium Svensk Lax, for the delivery of salmon eggs to the company’s new plant, which is currently under construction in Säffle, Värmland in Sweden.

Premium Svensk Lax’s new plant will be designed to produce 10,000 tons of Atlantic salmon annually, with the facility scheduled for full-scale production in 2024. The salmon will be slaughtered, processed, and delivered five days a week to the Swedish market, w

Water level that is just enough to cover elver eel A. bicolor’s bicolor body (1.5 cm) in a vertical aquaculture system produced good growth performance indicators, said researchers in Indonesia.

“Elver eels A. bicolor could be reared in a container arranged vertically with a recirculation system and, in most cases, give the same responses to different water levels,” Eko Harianto et al. cited in “The effect of water level in vertical aquaculture systems on produ

In a new partnership with Athens-based aquaManager, Benchmark Genetics’ Spring Genetics will begin using aquaManager’s Hatchery module, which will support Spring Genetics in the production of high-quality and “genetically superior” fish.

aquaManager’s Hatchery module, which is an integrated software solution designed specifically for fish fingerlings or egg production, allows for increased production planning and management while simultaneously providing

Following a heated public hearing, councillors of Belfast, Maine voted in favour of proceeding with an eminent domain action that would allow Nordic Aquafarms access through a stretch of intertidal mudflat.

The decision means that Norwegian aquaculture has cleared another hurdle to its $500 million recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) project in the city and can now run intake and outfall pipes to and from the Penobscot Bay through the contested parcel of land.

There were pe

Russian authorities rolled out plans to establish a gene pool of all fish in the Yakutia Republic within a single hatchery, which will likely become the world’s biggest gene pool of river fish, in one place. For instance, the Yakutia Republic is the world’s largest country subdivision with an area of 3.083 million km, comparable to the territory of India. Yakutia’s total river length is an estimated two million km – longer than that of Europe. 

Siemens Project Ventures has made its first direct investment in the seafood sector to land-based aquaculture technology and supplier, Singapore Aquaculture Technologies (SAT). Through a Series A financing round, Germany-based Siemens brought up the stakes with S $9.2 million (USD $5.6 million), making the company the first institutional shareholder in the start-up.

Founded in 2012, SAT develops a unique hybrid farming concept: each farm features fully contained land-based recirculati
