An organised futures market can be a useful tool for perishable biological products, as shown by the experience of maize, soybean, coffee, sugar or livestock. When supported by a solid commercial ...

Functional feeds are gaining ground in aquaculture as a nutritional tool to strengthen gut health, modulate immunity and improve fish resistance to disease. Their development is based on the strategic ...

Aquaculture is usually measured in tonnes produced, growth rates, feed conversion or market prices. Yet before any grow out phase begins, there is a much less visible critical point: reproduction. The ...

Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) reduce water consumption and allow production to be better controlled, but they do not fully eliminate the issue of residual streams. In daily operation, they ...

Seaweed blooms usually enter the public debate in summer, when large volumes reach beaches and have to be removed by municipal cleaning services, creating costs for local authorities and coastal ...
