Viral diseases inflict severe economic losses on global aquaculture, driving the urgent need for sustainable and effective disease management strategies. In this study, we developed a feeding-based RNA interference (RNAi) strategy, utilizing the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis as a live delivery vehicle for short hairpin RNA (shRNA) against Covert mortality nodavirus (CMNV) to control covert mortal…

"By integrating renewable energy, aquaculture, mineral recovery and ocean monitoring, we strengthen marine habitats, support thriving ecosystems, boost coastal economies and advance sustainable energy production"

By Aquaculture Magazine Editorial Team As global demand for seafood continues to rise, aquaculture faces increasing pressure to optimize production systems while maintaining sustainability. Operational excellence in intensive shrimp farming is directly linked to pond design and environmental control.

Two studies demonstrated that the procedure does not compromise fish survival, growth, or welfare when executed by trained personnel using their standardized protocol WellFish Tech, a biotechnology company based in Paisley, Scotland, has obtained regulatory clearance from the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet) for a non-lethal blood sampling method used on Atlantic salmon in aquacultur…

Forestry is a major economic activity in boreal and temperate countries for the development of societies and logging to extract wood production has happened during centuries. This is the case of Eastern Canada where forestry and mining companies were the first to establish during colonization. Logs gathered by the historical loggings in Canada were carried by rivers because of a lack of infrastru…
