Summary Shrimp performed equally well on diets containing 16% fish meal (FM) or 8% fish meal supplemented with AQUAVI ® Met-Met (0.03-0.10%). Retention efficiencies of protein and amino acids improved significantly with the supplementation of AQUAVI ® Met-Met in low FM diets. In addition, shrimp fed the low FM diet supplemented with 0.1% AQUAVI ® Met-Met showed better retention efficiencies than those...

For a long time, the most common method for dealing with the occurrence of bacterial infections in aquaculture was the administration of antibiotics. However, aquaculture faces serious problems due to various adverse effects of these drugs such as accumulation in the tissue and environmental microbial flora. Moreover, to use antibiotic or vaccine for fish is expensive and in many farms its use is unavailable (Yousefian and Amiri, 2009). Thus, the use of substances or additives incorporated...
1. Introduction Grouper is an economically important fish species for aquaculture in Southeast Asian countries. Due to the intensive culture, groupers have been suffering from not only viral but also bacterial diseases, such as vibriosis, resulting in serious economic loss. Vibriosis is also known as fatal hemorrhagic septicemia, and the causative agents of vibriosis belong to the genus Vibrio, such as Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio harveyi, and Vibrio anguillarum. The...

INTRODUCTION Herbal medicinal products are widely used around the world (Jordan et al ., 2010). A growing interest has emerged in using herbs in animal feeds by both researchers and feed companies (Logambal and Michael, 2000). Since ancient times, garlic ( Allium sativum )has been used worldwide as a seasoning, spices, and herbal remedies or folk medicine (Rivlin, 2001).Garlic has been used in ancient Egypt...

1. Introduction Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) is a tropical and subtropical marine fish, and has only one species under Genus Rachycentridae. Due to its good-quality meat and extraordinarily high growth rate, cobia became an important cultured fish in Taiwan during 1990s [1]. Following the successful development of cobia aquaculture technology in Taiwan, cobia now becomes one of the highest priority species for large-scale commercial aquaculture in the Americas and the Caribbean...
Introduction The global aquaculture production of food fish has increased tremendously over the last decade, reaching 62.7 million metric tonnes in 2011 or about 40.1% of world total fish production [1]. Asian seabass ( Lates calcarifer ) or barramundi is an important aquaculture species native to the Indo-West Pacific region [2] with increasing production currently estimated at 67,000 tonnes [3]. In collaboration with the Marine Aquaculture Centre of Agri-Food and...
INTRODUCTION In a broad sense, every single microorganism has been perceived to be a pathogenic threat, which, if uncontrolled, may cause devastating disease in complex live organisms. To understand this view, we only need to look at the latest scientific reports describing the impressive diversity and complexity of the whole microbiome of healthy individuals (1–3). Furthermore, several experimental models ranging from invertebrates to higher mammals, whether...

Shrimp farming currently yields about 800,000 mT of shrimp a year. The industry has grown phenomenally in the past 25 years considering that farmed shrimp production in the early 1970s was less than 10,000 mT. The industry grew exponentially in the 1980s. Its further growth was arrested in the 1990s when a number of disease problems surfaced. While bacterial and viral diseases have been common in the industry since its inception, the scale of destruction caused by three specific viral disease...
Introduction Feed management is a key factor affecting water quality (Boyd and Tucker 1998, Jory 1995) and production economics in aquaculture (Jolly and Clonts 1993). Not only is the feed the initial 0source of physiological wastes, but it accounts for 55% to 60% of the operation costs in intensive systems and around 40% in semi-intensive systems (Chanratchakool et al. 1994,...
