Demand and Supply of Feed Ingredients for Farmed Fish, Crustaceans
The rapid rise and growth of finfish and crustacean aquaculture has been due, in part, to the availability and on-farm provision of feed inputs within the major producing countries. If the aquaculture sector is to maintain its current average growth rate...

Epizootic Shell Disease in American Lobsters in Southern New England: Past, Present and Future
The emergence of epizootic shell disease in American lobsters Homarus americanus in the southern New England area, USA, has presented many new challenges to understanding the interface between disease and fisheries management. This paper from Kathleen...

Fish Migrate to Escape Predators
Each year billions of animals make annual migrations to escape adverse environmental conditions. Migration is a spectacular and important biological phenomenon, but studying what drives animals to make these arduous journeys is extremely difficult. Food...

Farmed Fish: A Major Provider or a Major Consumer of Omega-3 Oils?
Fish and other seafood products are getting more and more attention among consumers due to its health benefits. These benefits are in particular linked to the valuable long chain omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid...

Decomposing the Drivers of Profitability in Two Key Commonwealth Prawn Fisheries
This paper uses an index number profit decomposition approach to examine recent drivers of change in profitability in two key Commonwealth prawn fisheries, the Northern Prawn Fishery and the Torres Strait Prawn Fishery. The results reveal that a divergence...

Use of Antimicrobials to Extend Shelf Life in Fresh Catfish Fillets
Extending the shelf life of fresh catfish fillets would make it possible for catfish producers to increase the length of time in the supply chain and make it more feasible for processors to produce fresh, never-frozen, tray-packed products that can be...

Contrasting Parasite Communities Among Allopatric Colour Morphs of the Lake Tanganyika Cichlid Tropheus
Adaptation to different ecological environments is thought to drive ecological speciation. This phenomenon culminates in the radiations of cichlid fishes in the African Great Lakes. ...

Mussels Cramped by Environmental Factors
The fibrous threads helping mussels stay anchored – in spite of waves that sometimes pound the shore with a force equivalent to a jet liner flying at 600 miles per hour – are more prone to snap when ocean temperatures climb higher than normal....

Fisheries and Aquaculture in Azerbaijan: A Review
Fishing and the production of fish and fish products in Azerbaijan declined considerably in the early 1990s, with annual fish production falling from more than 20,000 tonnes in the early twentieth century to just 1,570 tonnes by the end of the century....

Utilising Discards not Destined for Human Consumption in Bulk Uses
A new Seafish report shows that the food chain should be the first choice for discarded fish that could be landed under a future discard ban, but when that is not practicable then utilisation for fishmeal or fish oil reduction for animal feed, is currently...

Effect of Lactobacillus Rhamnosus Use on Zebrafish
Endogenous microbiota play essential roles in the host’s immune system, physiology, reproduction and nutrient metabolism. Research led by Matteo A. Avella, University of Marche, Ancona, Italy, treated zebrafish from birth to sexual maturation with Lactobacillus...

Anchored Fish Aggregating Devices for Artisanal Fisheries in South, Southeast Asia: Benefits and Risks
Some countries in Southeast Asia are embarking on anchored Fish Aggregating Device (FAD) programmes to boost fish production and to increase food security. This advisory note from the FAO was written to provide guidance to fisheries managers and fishers...

French Retailer with Hands-on Approach to Traceability
Just when traceability scares have retailers across the world running for cover, one French retailer can justifiably feel that more than 40 years of working alongside food producers has been vindicated, writes Peter Crosskey....
