Aquaculture is one of the most dynamic food-producing subsectors

objective of this paper is to analyze...
The present paper studied system viability of tilapia nilotica and Australian redclaw crayfish in
polyculture, considering tialpia as main species. Three scenarios were analyzed: tilapia monoculture with
38.7 fish/m3 and tilapia and Australian redclaw polyculture, considering the same stocking density for
fish in monoculture and 17.5 crustaceans/m2, of which one...
It was obtained the optimal rotation time for the polyculture of tilapia
nilótica and white shrimp in freshwater, with a bioeconómic model. Data
for modelling were extracted from an experiment conducted in
CINVESTAV-IPN, unit Mérida, during the summer of 2008. The stocking
densities studied were 32.2 tilapia/m3 and 33.7 and...
Aquaculture in Vietnam has a long tradition. So far, this industry has been dominated by fresh water and brackish water aquaculture. Cage culture in marine waters has been developed more recently. With a coastline of 3260 km and an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of more than one million square km,...
The study examined profitability of aquaculture production in Ondo State, Nigeria. Specifically, it examined socio-economic characteristics of the respondents and determined costs and returns of the respondents. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 96 respondents and structured questionnaire administered on them. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics...
Namibia's aquaculture Industry is comparatively young but of recent it has picked up momentum. Previously, its importance was neglected. This was not just due to the then thriving marine resources, but also to inexperience in fish farming and fish consumption culture in most inland Namibians. According to Namibia's Vision 2030,...
This is a set of documents and letters compromising a proposal by James McCauley to bring lobsters to the West Coast. The proposal involved the University of Rhode Island, the OSU Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program, Oregon State University, and the Oregon Fish Commission. The letters are to several people,...
The Scophthalmus maximus is the main aquaculture species of the flatfish
in China, but the stagnant market is one of the bottle-neck problems the
industry confronted with. Which are the reasons to influence the
Scophthalmus maximus market? How to further expand the market? The
paper takes the basis of the...
