Can Rice-Fish Farming Provide Food Security in Bangladesh?
Bangladesh is one of the poorest and most densely populated countries in the world. More than 140 million people occupy the country's 144,000 km2 of area, consuming rice and fish as staple foods, reports the Network of Aquaculture Centres in...

Risks and Solutions to Feeding Fish with Fish
Continuous advancements in the science of aquaculture has enabled farmers to produce ever greater varieties of fish. But whilst this allows industries to meet consumer demands, an unquenchable desire for large carnivorous fish is not sustainable, writes...

Use of Vaccines in Finfish Aquaculture
Disease is one of the most important limiting factors in aquaculture. Optimal husbandry and general management - including biosecurity, nutrition, genetics, system management and water quality - are critical for maximizing aquatic animal health, writes...

Production Methods for European Seabass
The European seabass are able to frequent coastal inshore waters, and occur in estuaries and brackishwater lagoons. Sometimes they venture upstream into freshwater. Here, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations explains how the different...

Becoming Conscious About Fish Conscience
In this age of aquaculture the question of fish welfare finds increasing limelight in both the public and political domains. New research attempts to determine what fish desire, whilst identifying expressions of fear and stress, but can we ever really...

Microbial Source Tracking Methods for Shellfish Harvests
It is well established that filter-feeding molluscan shellfish grown in production areas subject to faecal pollution may pose a human health hazard following consumption, writes Craig Baker-Austin, Rachel Rangdale and David Lees, as part of of the Cefas...

Conflict Within the Global Shrimp Industry
As sea creatures go, shrimp are extraordinarily diverse. From tropical estuarine ecosystems to shallow shelves, continental slopes and deep seas as well as the open ocean, shrimp exist in almost all geographical locations around the world. Yet, in spite...
