The abalone industry may in future not be limited to just six frenetic weeks every year. A more productive industry is promised with the development of a hybrid species, proven to grow up to thirty percent faster than the commercial varieties now being farmed. A hybrid between Greenlip and Brownlip abalone species has been developed by Bayside Pty Ltd and Mr Mark Allsopp, a PhD student at Curtin University of Technology’s Muresk Institute. The growth rates of this particular hybrid...

Food safety and the depletion of fish stocks will remain key challenges for Asian seafood producers, according to Rabobank International. Patric Vizzone, regional head for Asia food and agribusiness at Rabobank International, said the decline in wild fish populations in East Asia was a global concern. East Asia accounts for 45% or 41.7 million tonnes of the global wild catch and nearly 90% or 42.8 million tonnes of global aquaculture. East Asia, which includes China,...

In today’s world dominated by ‘fast food’, ‘fast money’, and ‘fast habits’, people have obviously taken for granted the quality and safety of the food they eat. What seemingly matters most is not the acceptable safety standards of the food we eat, but just to be able to go through the meal and live another day. Unknown to people, however, is that the quality and safety of the food they eat have been the subject of intensive studies and critique by concerned...

Fiskeriforskning has implemented research on the storage of live whelks in different temperatures. The findings show the whelk is well suited to capture-based aquaculture. The whelk is a newcomer among species fished by the Norwegian coastal fleet. The fishing grounds are spread along the entire Norwegian coast, but the distance to the nearest land facility can be great. Capture-based aquaculture of the whelks prior to transportation is therefore necessary. However,...

Salmon farmers are again using a toxic pesticide years after it was thought to have been phased out. The chemical, teflubenzuron, known commercially as Calicide, and is given to salmon to kill sea lice parasites. Concerns about the polluting effects of the substance, 90 per cent of which is excreted by the salmon into the sea, have been raised by shellfish farmers. A 1999 report by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) found teflubenzuron to be "potentially highly...

Fish powder is healthy, but it can become even healthier. A new research project will contribute to taking care of more of the fish's natural antioxidants. Fish powder is used in particular in the manufacture of health food products, but also as flavouring in fish products. During the production of powder, the raw fish material is heated to a temperature of 90 degrees. Water and oil is then removed by pressing to ensure effective drying. However, water soluble...

Tilapia, a fish that originates from southern countries, has been introduced in over 100 countries. It is the second most commonly produced fish in aquaculture in the world after carp (99 per cent is produced and consumed in China). Raising tilapia is easy and inexpensive. It adapts well to fresh or salt water and fattens fast. Unlike most salmoniforms in aquaculture (salmon, trout, perch, bream), for which fishmeal and fish oil constitute an essential part of their diet, tilapia is...

Capture-based aquaculture will give Norwegian seafood a competitive advantage. However, uncertainty about profitability means that few fishermen go in for live fish, a Fiskeriforskning study shows. The Norwegian fishing industry can gain a competitive advantage by landing more live fish. There is an increasing demand for fresh fish. However, large seasonal fluctuations in the fisheries mean there are long periods with insufficient supply of fresh fish products....

Scientists have managed to breed trout from salmon using a new technique they hope will allow them to create tuna fish from mackerel. The Japanese researchers hope to produce stocks of valuable, endangered species by injecting their germ cells into sterilised embryos from other species. Goro Yoshizaki, a marine biologist, from the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, Japan, used the method to successfully breed trout from salmon. The embryos they produced...

A farmer whose sole product is fish can harvest bigger profits if a vegetable or herb crop is added to the system, said presenters at a conference on aquaculture. This form of agriculture, called aquaponics, is still rare in Alberta, said Nick Savidov, a research scientist with Alberta Agriculture's crop diversification centre in Brooks. Bacteria convert the fish waste to nutrients, which are taken up by plants growing in hydroponic troughs. The plants clean the water, which is...

Recent trials have shown that the salmon harvesting plants can commence using a machine that slaughters salmon quickly and humanely. The current method in use, CO2, will be banned from 1 July next year. Industry-scale trials have been carried out at one of Marine Harvest's salmon farming plants in Rogaland. The salmon are pumped up directly from the pens to a vessel that had been especially outfitted for the trials. Trials were also carried out using a system...
