Culture of freshwater prawns and shrimps
The culture of freshwater prawns and shrimps is an important sector in global aquaculture, providing a valuable source of protein and income, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Freshwater prawns (e.g., Macrobrachium rosenbergii) and shrimps (e.g., Penaeus vannamei) are cultivated
Integration of aquaculture with agriculture poultry and livestock farming
Integrating aquaculture with agriculture, poultry, and livestock farming creates synergies that can improve productivity, reduce waste, and promote sustainability in farming systems. This integrated approach, often called integrated farming, combines different types of farming in a mutually beneficial way, allowing
Aquaculture in practice
Aquaculture in practice involves a variety of techniques and systems designed to cultivate aquatic organisms in both marine and freshwater environments. It encompasses a range of activities from breeding and feeding to harvesting and management of fish, shellfish, and other
Fish population estimation
Estimating fish populations in a body of water is a crucial aspect of fisheries management, conservation efforts, and even aquaculture. It allows scientists and managers to assess the health of fish stocks, set sustainable fishing quotas, and monitor the impact
Over wintering and hibernation in fishes, feeding and feeding relationships among fishes
Over wintering and Hibernation in Fishes Fish don’t quite hibernate in the same way mammals do, but they do have adaptations to survive cold winter periods. Here’s the breakdown: Reduced Activity: Fish become less active to minimize energy expenditure. Metabolic Depression: Their
