Carbohydrates serve as essential macronutrients in aquaculture feeds, providing cost-efficiency and numerous advantages, including energy supply, pellet stability, reduced ammonia excretion, and support for exoskeleton synthesis in crustaceans. Despite their significance, research on carbohydrate nutrition in crustaceans has been relatively limited compared to finfish. This comprehensive review addresses

According to the FAO statistics, the output of world aquatic products reached 177.8 million tons in 2020, of which the fishing and aquaculture marine products accounted for 63%.1 As the wild fisheries have almost reached their maximum sustainable level, marine aquaculture has the potential to increase its contribution to the global food system and provide valuable ecosystem services. However, sustainable

A circular economy is considered one way to reduce environmental impacts of human activities, by more efficient use of resources and recovery, resulting in less waste and emissions compared to linear take-make-dispose systems. Muscat et al. developed five ecological principles to guide biomass use towards a circular economy. A few studies have demonstrated environmental benefits of applying these principles

Parasitic infections can be occasionally severe in the European marine aquaculture industry, including the Mediterranean region, as they can incur considerable financial losses. Due to the lack of commercial vaccines, therapeutic approaches seem the only measure to battle parasitic outbreaks. Integrated strategies and increased resilience of the hosts, may limit to some degree the level of infestation

The food production system ‘aquaponics’ has moved a long way from its inceptions in the 1970s and 1980s. This paper suggests that it is the principle of aquaponics that should define what aquaponics is and then the rest follows according to systems and technologies. This paper supports the Palm et al. (Aquac Int. 2018;26(3):813–42) position of having a nutrient supply threshold (>50%) from the feed

Immunostimulants were widely used in aquafeed due to their multiple important functions, including promoting growth, enhancing non-specific defence mechanisms and resisting infectious diseases. But the efficiencies of the positive effects of immunostimulants were affected by the duration of the administration and their dose. Short-term and normal-dose of immunostimulants promoted the growth and enhance

The widespread use of antimicrobial drugs in aquaculture has led to antibiotic residues in aquatic animals. Food safety problems caused by the misuse of antibiotics and antibiotic residues have caused widespread global concern. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop an alternative to antibiotics for use in aquaculture. Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) has attracted significant attention over recent

With decreasing world oceans fish stock there is rapid increase in aquaculture production. To meet this demand, there is an urgent need to improve existing aquaculture technologies and make the system more sustainable and economically feasible. Diatoms are unicellular protists that are present ubiquitously in freshwater and marine habitats and are responsible for 40% of marine and 20% of net global

As the world population grows, the aquaculture sector faces challenges in the use of production systems to ensure the adequacy of the food supply. Technical efficiency analysis has been shown to be useful for improving resource management and production. This study provides a literature update and uses meta-regression analysis to examine the variations in aquaculture mean technical efficiency (MTE)

With the growing demand of consumers for high-quality aquatic products, controlling the harvest quality of farmed fish is becoming increasingly important in aquaculture industry. The texture is a sensory property that covers a group of attributes, such as firmness, tenderness, chewiness, adhesiveness, resilience, etc., which greatly determine consumers' perception and satisfaction for flesh products

Previous studies have demonstrated that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing and transgenesis by integrating vector-engineered antimicrobial peptide genes (AMGs) are effective to modulate the fish's innate immune system. To generalise the knowledge of AMG application in aquaculture, we recruited 544 data entries from a pool of empirical studies, which included 23 studies (two unpublished from our team)

Aquareoviruses (AqRVs) can infect various wild or cultured bony fishes with serious muscle and viscera haemorrhage syndrome and have caused severe economic losses worldwide. Accumulating evidences have revealed the functions of viral proteins of AqRVs in RNA transcription, virion assembly, cell attachment and/or viral replication. In addition, structural information and transcription mechanism of AqRVs

Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), the most cultured crustacean in the world, has become one of the key species in the international aquatic trade accounting for 11.96% of the total aquaculture production value in 2020. The development of the aquafeed industry, especially the large-scale use of fish meal (FM) and fish oil, contributed to promoting the expansion of shrimp production. However

Aquaculture offers solutions to meet the growing global demand for fish, and reports from the UN-FAO indicate that aquaculture production in Latin America (LA) has grown at rates above the world average in recent years. One of the major constraints in the diversification of LA aquaculture is the control of reproduction in several popular native fish species for which difficulties in captive propagation

Acoustic technology has great application prospects in aquaculture. In particular, two indispensable, critical technologies for the future aquaculture industry are multi-sensor acquisition that can achieve multi-scale information fusion, collection and establishment of a global acoustic fish database and highly developed deep learning intelligent algorithms that can establish a correlation mechanism

Species feeding lower at the food web like cyprinids (carp) are often advocated for sustainable aquaculture. However, their gastrointestinal biology (lack of stomach) has limited their acid-peptic digestion, acid lysis of plants and invertebrate tissues, and phosphorus uptake. This review presents data from 118 articles on the use of plant-based feed additives (PFAs) in Cyprinus carpio (common carp)

Gill disorders are responsible for substantial losses in the aquaculture industry. This is because gills are delicate and anatomically complex tissues, responsible for maintaining homeostasis in fish by being involved in many important physiological processes. Pathogens that infect gills, together with chemical irritants can modify the function of this organ and seriously affect fish health often leading

Aquaculture is an important sector for ensuring global food security. Due to the scarcity of freshwater available for expanding aquaculture, the development of omnivorous fish species and varieties that can tolerate high salinity will enhance fish production. Some tilapia species are good candidates for aquaculture in brackish and seawater because they can grow in high salinity. Among tilapia species

The way we produce our food is increasingly scrutinized and evaluated on its possible contribution to the global environmental changes the world is currently witnessing. Scientific evidence about the negative effects of agriculture (including aquaculture) on the world's natural resources1-5 is mounting. Food production is considered as one of the most significant causes of environmental change.6, 7

Sin embargo, genera grandes cantidades de desechos ricos en nutrientes. Por lo tanto, vale la pena examinar los métodos disponibles

Fishmeals (FM) are the most superior protein sources in aquafeed. World-wide growing demand and limited supply of FM limit its use as sole protein sources in aquafeed and force fish nutritionists to develop alternate protein-based aquafeeds. However, increasing alternate proteins over a certain percentage reduces fish performance. Many attempts have been made (viz., manipulation of processing technology

Electrochemical water treatment for recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) is a promising approach for replacing the biological water treatment methods and establishing a new RAS generation with improved cost-effectiveness, lower environmental footprint, and no start-up periods. On top of ammonia oxidation directly into N2(g), electrochemical oxidation results in effective disinfection, and in the

Aquaculture is an important source of high-quality protein and plays a crucial role in ensuring global food security. However, viral diseases have caused significant damage to aquaculture production, making it necessary to develop effective measures to treat them. Although drugs are commonly used to treat viral diseases, recent studies have shown that crude extracts of medicinal plants and their active

In the United States, the aquaculture industry has not seen the same levels of growth in production as other countries—made evident by the $17 billion seafood trade deficit estimated in 2020. Nevertheless, aquaculture remains an important industry fully capable of supplementing the domestic seafood supply and reducing the US seafood trade deficit. Infectious diseases is one of several factors that

Particulate waste from open-cage fish farms in marine systems can cause organic enrichment of seabed habitats and enter the food web through consumption by wild organisms, with potential for broader ecosystem changes. Effects on biogeochemistry and benthic ecology are reasonably well understood in inshore, sheltered and soft sediment systems. However, food web effects and interactions with epifauna

The global production of aquatic resources is increasing at the rate of 3.3 million tons per year, main thanks to aquaculture. However, this industry is considered by financial institutions as high risk due to failures caused by epizootics, natural disasters and poor planning and monitoring. Bioeconomic modelling is a progressive branch of social science that seeks to integrate the disciplines of economics

Drying is an essential method for the process and storage of aquatic products. With the removal of water, the occurrence of oxidation, hydrolysis and browning reaction also accompanies it. This article reviews the applications of emerging drying methods in aquatic products, emphasising high-quality drying. In addition, it summarises the effects of the drying process on the quality of aquatic products

Sea lice infestations have the largest economic and biological impact on salmon farming in Chile, similar to that seen in salmon-producing countries in the northern hemisphere. Caligus teres infesting coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) was first recorded in 1981, but Caligus rogercresseyi has been the predominant species infesting Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Lipids are an essential component of living beings and an important group of nutrients. As the gut microbiota plays important roles in the intestinal absorption and extraintestinal metabolism of dietary lipids, the current review addresses the recent progress regarding the interactions between the gut microbiota and lipid metabolism in aquatic animals, with a focus on fish. We discuss in detail how

Worldwide, current mussel and seaweed aquaculture practices contribute to the increase of fossil fuel-based plastic gears at sea, leading to marine litter and microplastics generation. Smart aquaculture has a great potential for shifting towards the use of lower impact bio-based and biodegradable gears. This review defines the value chain of biogears as more sustainable gears for mussel and seaweed

As marine aquaculture expands around the world, there is increased concern for impacts to protected species. Documented cases of marine mammal, sea turtle, seabird, and shark interactions with aquaculture installations do exist but are challenging to find. This extensive review summarises the state of knowledge of protected species interactions with marine fish and shellfish aquaculture installations

Aquaculture provides more than half of fish destined for human consumption worldwide. In aquaculture, infectious diseases triggered by viruses are amongst the major cause of mortality of farmed fish. The cohabitation of different virus strains in the same geographical area opens the possibility to natural reassortment. Virus reassortment is a characteristic recombination process of segmented viruses

Insect lipid/oil is a by-product of insect meal production. The quantity and nutritional quality of insect lipid varies with species, life stages, the kind of substrate used to raise the insects, as well as the extraction process. Insect lipid products have been successfully used in animal feeds as source of nutrients, notably energy and indispensable fatty acids. Further some insect lipid products

Many decapod crustaceans with sexual dimorphism in body size are economically significant species for fisheries and aquaculture, making monosex culture a desirable practice to increase farmers' yield and profits. It is well established that the male-specific androgenic gland (AG) mediates masculinization in decapods by producing and secreting the insulin-like AG hormone (IAG). However, IAG is not a

Single cell genomics encompasses a suite of rapidly maturing technologies that measure the molecular profiles of individual cells within target samples. These approaches provide a large up-step in biological information compared to long-established ‘bulk’ methods that profile the average molecular profiles of all cells in a sample, and have led to transformative advances in understanding of cellular

Feed-food competition is the allocation of resources that can be used to feed humans to animal feed instead, a current but unsustainable practise not well documented for aquaculture. Here, we analysed feed-food competition in aquaculture using two measures; natural trophic levels (TLs) and species-specific human-edible protein conversion ratios (HePCRs). The HePCR equals the ratio of human edible protein

Recently, I have been invited by ‘Food Australia’, the official publication of the Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology (AIFST), to answer in less than 150 words the question ‘How do you think food science will contribute to addressing food security and sustainability in the future?’. Not a simple task, and here is what I wrote: ‘At present, food supply is not the problem. Income insecurity
