Impact of <i>Chlorella vulgaris</i> Bioremediation and Selenium on Genotoxicity, Nephrotoxicity and Oxidative/Antioxidant Imbalance Induced by Polystyrene Nanoplastics in African Catfish (<i>Clarias gariepinus</i>)

Contamination of the environment with nano- and microplastic particles exerts a threatening impact on the aquatic ecosystems and sustainable catfish aquaculture. The presence of nanoplastics has been found to have a detrimental impact on bo...

Exploring the Intestinal Microbiota and Metabolome Profiles Associated With Feed Efficiency in Pacific Abalone (Haliotis discus hannai)

Feed efficiency (FE) is critical to the economic and environmental benefits of aquaculture. Both the intestines and intestinal microbiota play a key role in energy acquisition and influence FE. In the current research, intestinal microbiota...

Molecular basis of pathogenesis of emerging viruses infecting aquatic animals

Aquatic vertebrates are very abundant in the world, and they are of tremendous importance in providing global food security and nutrition. However, emergent and resurgent viruses, such as ranavirus (e.g., Rana grylio virus, RGV and Andriasd...

Evaluation of the developmental toxicity of 2-phenoxyethanol and clove oil anaesthetics using the Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay: Xenopus (FETAX)

The developmental toxicity of two anaesthetics, 2-phenoxyethanol and clove oil, used in aquaculture was evaluated using the Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay: Xenopus (FETAX) and the results were compared to outcomes in fish. Xenopus laevis e...

Dietary effects of protein and lipid levels on growth performance and flesh quality of large-size largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides)

The aim of this trial was to investigate the effects of dietary protein and lipid levels on growth performance and flesh quality of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). A 3 × 3 two-factor design was used, including three crude protein l...

Enabling scalable inspection of offshore mooring systems using cost-effective autonomous underwater drones

As aquaculture expands to meet global food demand, it remains dependent on manual, costly, infrequent, and high-risk operations due to reliance on high-end Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). Scalable and autonomous systems are needed to ena...

The use of computer vision technologies in aquaculture – A review

Tracking and Analysis of the Movement Behavior of European Seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) in Aquaculture Systems

Monitoring and understanding fish behavior is crucial for achieving precision in everyday husbandry practices (i.e. for optimizing farm performance), and for improving fish welfare in aquaculture. Various intelligent monitoring and control ...
