Ecophysiological studies of three South African Ulva species from integrated seaweed
… cultivation is of paramount importance to the marine aquaculture industry. Three local Ulva species (Ulva lactuca Linnaeus, Ulva rigida C. Agardh and Ulva capensis Areschoug) were selected for this research. The first two are currently cultivated on abalone farms for abalone feed and for use as …

Investigation of the Microbiome of a Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) for Crassostrea virginica Larvae
<p>Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) offer control over physicochemical and biological factors impacting aquaculture success. One understudied facet of RASs is the water microbiome. Oyster larval microbiomes are shaped by their aquatic microbiomes. Understanding the dynamics of and the …

The Effects of Salinity on Zootechnical Performance of Spotted Seatrout (<i>Cynoscion nebulosus</i>) in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems
… is a euryhaline finfish candidate for marine aquaculture in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Aquaculture of this species currently uses salinities of 25 psu or greater making production challenging in areas where high salinity water is not available. This study aimed to document the effects …

Open ocean fish cage and mooring system dynamics
<p>To satisfy the global need for seafood, marine aquaculture is expected to play an increasing role as wild fish stocks decline. The expansion of near-shore aquaculture is becoming more difficult because of multi-use issues and environmental impact concerns. As a result, a national objective has …

Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics in High Intensity Minimal Exchange Shrimp (<i>Litopenaeus vannamei</i>) Raceways
… of Southern Mississippi's Thad Cochran Marine Aquaculture Center. The objectives of this project were to (1) determine if there was a significant difference in any water quality parameters between the 2 density treatments, (2) construct carbon and nitrogen budgets to see where the carbon …

Enrichment of rotifers (Branchionus plicatilis), Artemia nauplii and artificial dry feed with live yeast (Debaryomyces hansenii) for the growth of cultured dusky kob (Argyrosomus japonicus) larvae
Aquaculture has expanded dramatically over the last fifty years and now contributes almost half of the global total fish production. Since fish are a very important source of protein for humans, aquaculture is an important food source and economic practice. It is therefore important to minimise and …

Investigation of the effect of a probiotic-supplemented diet on the haemocyte proteome of the abalone Haliotis midae
… approximately 93% of the country's total marine aquaculture industry. However, the slow growth rate of this animal and the potential for disease outbreaks remain a concern for farmers. Therefore, government and private institutions have joined efforts to investigate ways of enhancing …
