Thailand's commercial shrimp industry got a fresh start this year with Sureerath Farm's shipment of 40 tons of organic shrimp to Switzerland and Germany.
The exports represent Thailand's first foray into the organic shrimp market, a fairly new product even for health-conscious European customers.
The shipment also marked a new beginning for Thailand's shrimp industry, which has an environmentally dirty past.

New tracking and observing technologies are giving marine conservationists a fish-eye view of conditions, from overfishing to climate change, that are contributing to declining fish populations, according to a new study.
Until recently, scientists provided fishery managers only such limited data as stock counts and catch estimates, said Charles Greene, Cornell professor of ocean sciences and lead author of the study published in the March issue (Vol. 22, No. 1) of the journal...

When Ben Koop tells you he's having a lousy day at work, he isn't kidding.
The University of Victoria biologist is co-leader of a study that is uncovering the genetic secrets of that tiny nemesis of BC's wild and farmed salmon-the Pacific sea louse.
The marine parasites-each a mere two centimetres long when fully grown-feed on the skin, mucous and flesh of host fish, weakening and, in some cases, killing them. Each year, sea lice cost the Canadian aquaculture industry...

NIWA scientists have discovered that nearly all snapper on the west coast of the North Island come from nurseries in just one harbour.
Snapper is New Zealand's largest recreational fishery, and one of the country's largest coastal commercial fisheries with an annual export value of $32 million (2008).
But in recent years some stocks have failed to recover from historical overfishing, with some commercial catch quotas for snapper being cut recently to protect the...

"Undesirable" evolution in fish - which makes their bodies grow smaller and fishery catches dwindle -- can actually be reversed in a few decades' time by changing our "take-the-biggest-fish" approach to commercial fishing, according to groundbreaking new research published today by Stony Brook University scientists in Proceedings of the Royal Society B .
Intensive harvesting of the largest fish over many decades, while leaving the small fish behind, may have...

Aquaculture, revealed in a key UN analysis today to be the basis of all future growth in global seafood production, desparately needs to be put on a more sustainable basis, leading global environment organization WWF said today. State of the World's Fisheries and Aquaculture 2008 (SOFIA 2008), released this morning by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), said that food supplies from aquaculture now equal those from ocean and freshwater capture fisheries. The report...

YEO Keng Joon, who heads Bharat Luxindo, is cautiously upbeat about business prospects despite the weakening global economic climate. This is because Bharat Luxindo, which supplies prawn and fish feeds to farmers in Andra Pradesh, India, continues to see strong end-demand in markets such as West Bengal.
'In addition we are helping the farms to increase their productivity by using our pelleted feed which will enable them to stock the fish in the ponds at a higher stocking density...

Trine-Lise Torgersen described in her doctorate new variants of diarrhoea-causing toxins in mussels, oysters and crabs. These variants are assumed to be less virulent than the forms of diarrhoea toxin we are already familiar with and were found in varying amounts in the different types of seafood examined. For her doctoral thesis, Trine-Lise Torgersen looked at how toxins from algae are taken up and metabolised by mussels and oysters, and also by crabs that eat...

Following a request from the European Commission, the AHAW Panel was asked to deliver a Scientific Opinion on the animal welfare aspects of husbandry systems for farmed fish. In addition to the already adopted scientific opinions regarding six different species of farmed fish, a scientific opinion on the general approach to fish welfare and to the concept of sentience in fish was adopted on 29 January 2009. The scientific opinion focused on the neurobiology and special sense...

A new United Nations report released today urged countries to increase efforts to halt the economic and environmental threats posed by shrimp fishing, a major source of income for many developing countries.
Rampant overfishing, harmful trawling practices and poor management of fishing sites are causing significant damage to seabeds and endangering important fish stocks, warned the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) report.
Shrimps and prawns are among the most...

Salting methods, temperature and pressure are of great significance for the loss of protein during the salting of fish. Trials carried out at Nofima Marin have provided many interesting results.
Production of salted fish takes several weeks, and regardless of the method some of the protein in the raw material is lost in the salt solution which runs out during the salting process. This loss often constitutes more than 10 percent of the protein depending on the raw...

Tiny, pink and nasty: a plant-like midget from the animal kingdom has turned into an expensive neighbour for Norwegian fish farmers
"Wait a moment, and you'll see how quickly nature can change," says biologist Jana Günther.
We are clambering together around a fish-farm sea-cage full of salmon. In her orange insulated boiler suit the young German-born SINTEF scientist gets down on her knees and hauls on a rope.
From the sea emerges a piece of greyish net...

Not far beneath the ocean's surface, tiny phytoplankton swimming upward in a daily commute toward morning light sometimes encounter the watery equivalent of Rod Serling's Twilight Zone: a sharp variation in marine currents that traps billions of these single-celled organisms and sends them tumbling until a shift in wind or tide alters the currents and sets them free.
Scientists are aware of these thin layers of single-celled creatures and their enormous ecological ramifications, but...

The quick decline of a tiny shrimp-like species, known scientifically as Diporeia , is related to the aggressive population growth of non-native quagga mussels in the Great Lakes, say NOAA scientists. As invasive mussel numbers increase, food sources for Diporeia and many aquatic species have steadily and unilaterally declined.
A recent research study from NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Laboratory published this week in Freshwater Biology documents the...
