Algal Toxins in Pond Aquaculture
نویسنده
چکیده
Algal toxins are organic molecules produced by a variety of algae in marine, brackish and fresh waters, as well as on wet soils (Falconer, 1993). They are a problem in aquaculture when they are produced in sufficient quantities, with sufficient potency, to kill cultured organisms, decrease feeding and growth rates, cause food safety issues, or adversely affect the quality of the product (Shumway, 1990).

Algae are the population of microscopic single and multiple-celled aquatic plants that live in water. While most individual algal cells can only be viewed using an instrument such as a microscope, algal blooms give color to the pond water. When populations of algal cells multiply, thereby clouding or giving color to a pond, it is called an algal bloom. Another term used to describe algae is phy...
متن کاملAquaculture Crsp 21st Annual Technical Report
Eight, three-day workshops were given in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam during June to July 2002. These workshops focused on practical aspects of how to use principles of pond dynamics to improve pond management and optimize fertilization efficiencies for natural food production in semi-intensive aquaculture systems. The centerpiece of the workshops was learning how to...
متن کاملIncreased Production and Water Remediation by Land-Based Farm-Scale Sequentially Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture Systems—An Example from Southern Taiwan
Wastewater effluent from aquaculture ponds can affect aquatic ecosystems. To mitigate this problem, we designed 2 sets (southern and northern) of land-based and farm-scale sequential integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems in order to reduce water pollution and to diversify and optimize aquaculture products in coastal southern Taiwan. In each system, the 1st pond cultivated milkfish...
متن کاملAlgal bioproducts derived from suspended solids in intensive land-based aquaculture.
Land-based aquaculture produces suspended solids in culture pond and settlement pond waters that could be harvested as a bioresource. Suspended solids were quantified, characterised and harvested from these two sources to assess their suitability for conversion to bioproducts. The suspended solids of settlement ponds were less concentrated (87.6±24.7mgL(-1)) than those of culture ponds (131.8±8...

water quality (e.g. low dissolved oxygen; Brunson et al., 1994), interfering with feeding in bivalves (Aureococcus anophagefferens, Tracey, 1988), mechanical injury (Chaetoceros spp., Bruno et al. 1989) and marketability losses due to off-flavors (Tucker, 2000), or toxicity. Toxic algae result in major losses in aquaculture causing mortality in finfish and shellfish operations as a consequence ...
