Gentle and Rapid Handling Gives Best Salmon Fillet
Gentle and short-lived crowding and pumping from the sea cage to the processing vessel is best in order to achieve good quality and long shelf life of salmon fillet. This is one of the conclusions of a project carried out at Marine Harvest from 2010-2011...

Wild-Caught Cod – the Juveniles of the Future in Cod Farming
During earlier trials involving wild cod in captivity, scientists at Nofima have experienced problems getting the cod to eat pellet feed. Nofima, in collaboration with the Institute of Marine Research and SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture, has now demonstrated...

QTL Affecting Stress Response to Crowding in a Rainbow Trout Broodstock Population
Researchers from the USDA/ARS National Center for Cool and Cold Water Aquaculture, Leetown, USA have conducted genome scans of rainbow trout families from a single broodstock population to identify the effect quantitative trait loci (QTL) have on stress...

Increased Fishing Depths puts Pressure on Vulnerable Deep-Sea Species
A new study, by Villasante S, Morato T, Rodriguez Gonzalez D, et al, reports that fishing depths in the EU have increased, with more deep-sea fish species being harvested. Deep-sea fish populations are often more vulnerable to effects of fishing, and...

Questions and Answers on the Reform of the Common Fisheries Policy
The overall objective of the Commission's proposals for a modern and simpler Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) is to make fishing sustainable - environmentally, economically and socially. The new policy will bring fish stocks back to sustainable levels by...

Range Contraction in Large Pelagic Predators
Populations of large pelagic predators have declined recently due to intensified exploitation. Boris Worm and Derek P. Tittensor, Dalhousie University, Canada, look at the range contraction of large marine pelagic predators, specifically tuna and billfish,...

Impact of Early Infestation of Salmon Louse on the Survival of Outwardly Migrating Atlantic Salmon
The potential impact of sea lice infestation on outwardly migrating Atlantic salmon smolts has been investigated, by researchers from the Marine Institute, Ireland, by treating populations of ranched salmon, prior to release, with a prophylactic sea lice...

Infrared Vision in a Cichlid Fish
Biologists from the University of Bonn have discovered that the cichlid fish Pelvicachromis taeniatus can see in the near infrared range; this was thought to be unlikely until now. Seeing in the infrared range is apparently helping fish to hunt in shallow...

Efficient Assembly, Annotation of Catfish Transcriptome by RNA-Seq analysis of Doubled Haploid Homozygote
Recent advances in next-generation sequencing enabled an array of whole genome sequencing or re-sequencing projects in both model and non-model species. Such efforts have produced a wealth of genome resources. However, thorough genome analysis thereafter...
