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....

Oxidants Enhance Water Quality
Oxidants are used in aquaculture as disinfectants or to enhance water quality. Hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate can be sources of dissolved oxygen in emergency situations where mechanical aeration is not possible, writes Claude E....

Mood-Modifying Drugs for Humans also Alter Fish Behavior
Pharmaceutical drugs that end up in the world's waterways after being excreted, flushed and treated at wastewater treatment plants may lead to unexpected ecological impacts, according to a new study of wild European perch. Tomas Brodin and colleagues...

Feed Study Examines Effects Of Fishmeal Storage
A study led by Dong-Fang Deng, Oceanic Institute, Hawaii, USA has investigated the effects of storage temperature and duration on the quality of finished fishmeal fed to juvenile shrimp. Results found that although the fishmeals stored at 30° had less...

Blue-Green Algae Pose Toxic Risks In Shrimp, Fish Culture
The toxins from blue-green algae pose a threat to animal health and potentially to consumers if they are present in farmed product. Culture animals that ingest these toxins may not die, but can be weakened, increasing their susceptibility to pathogens....

Effective Management Avoids Gas Bubble Trauma
Atmospheric gases naturally diffuse between air and water to reach an equilibrium of pressure. Gases dissolve in the blood of fish and shrimp, and equilibrate with gases in the animails’ water. When water is suddenly warmed, gas bubbles can form...
