Closed life-cycle breeding of aquaculture species is essential for sustainability.
In aquaculture production systems, the hatchery phase is the most challenging as larvae are prone to infections and disease from microbial agents causing mass mortalities.
Although bacteria present in rotifer cultures can provide vitamin B12 (Yu et al., 1989) and microalgae such as Chlorella sp. and I. galbana provide vitamin C (Merchie et al., 1995), extra enrichment of thiamine (as thiamine HCl) and ...
Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food production sector in the world. With demand for seafood increasing at astonishing rates, the optimization of production methods is vital.
The hands-on nature of the hatchery setting is a natural supplement to curriculum units for students of all ages and experience levels.
The reliance on wild-caught juvenile tuna is seen as the Achilles heel of tuna ranching industries worldwide and it is widely recognised that closed-cycle hatchery production is essential to sustain the demand for tuna and reduce pressure ...
To date, European mussel culture has relied entirely on wild seed from suspended collectors or mussel beds.
This chapter looks at the issues surrounding health of finfish and shellfish larvae in the aquaculture environment.
Striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) farming in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam, is considered as a major, aquaculture development both in Vietnam and globally.
Yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi; YTK) hatchery technology has been largely developed in New Zealand and Australia where a burgeoning seacage grow-out industry exists.
Meagre (Argyrosomus regius) have good potential for aquaculture.
Broodstock management, the control of reproduction and genetic improvement are central parts of an aquaculture business that allow a hatchery to continually improve efficiency and productivity of the entire business.
Good water quality is of major importance to production results in a hatchery, particularly in those which work more intensively.
Marine fish larvae fed microdiets have not, at this stage, matched the growth and survival performances demonstrated by larvae fed live feeds such as rotifers and Artemia.
In this review, general characteristics of microalgae are discussed, including chemical profiles, nutritional qualities and methods of mass culture.
Sea cucumber fisheries have existed for centuries, driven primarily by the Chinese markets.
This chapter begins by reviewing the fisheries and culture of jellyfish for human food, multi-million-dollar industries with markets currently centered in Asia.
Production of High Health PL requires use of SPF broodstock in hatcheries using biosecurity. This chapter reviews key management practices of securing SPF broodstock and biosecurity in P. vannamei shrimp hatchery systems.
This chapter deals with the different methods used in the world to produce hatchery-reared juveniles of Octopus vulgaris, including capture and transport methods, broodstock conditioning and paralarval rearing technology.
In this chapter the benefits of short- to long-term storage of genetic material from aquatic species in liquid nitrogen are introduced.
