Saithe Pollachius virens are attracted to uneaten salmon feed underneath cages at open-cage salmon farms in Norway. The aggregated Saithe have modified their feeding habits as they have switched from wild prey to uneaten food pellets, which could lead to physiological and biochemical changes in the Saithe. Variations in profiles of total lipids, fatty acids, and trace elements in Saithe liver a...

If farmers are risk averse, greater farm income variability should increase off-farm labor supply. This effect is confirmed for a sample of Kansas farmers. Off-farm employment of farmers and their spouses is also found to be significantly influenced by farm experience, off-farm work experience, farm size, leverage, efficiency, and farm-specific education. In addition, farm operators and spouses...

A fully automated flow system for on-line monitoring of analytes/parameters of interest in aquaculture is described. The approach has been optimized for the photometric determination of nitrite and ammonia and the continuous monitoring of pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen, but these analytes/parameters are readily changeable as required. The system has been tested by monitoring these specie...

A fish pond ecosystem on the west coast of Korea was studied for biotic and abiotic factors. The occurrence rate of phytoplankton at the embanked fish farm was 84 times higher to that of shore waters. Phytoplankton species which occurred during the study period were categorized into Cyanophyta, Dinophyta and Bacillariophyta with a total of 26 subgeneric taxa (22 species of Dinophyta, 2 species ...

Aquaculture is the fastest-growing animal food production sector and expected to become increasingly important meet future demands. As a landlocked country, Austria’s self-sufficiency rate for fish rather low with 6% in total 48% freshwater fish. Therefore, order enable sustainable growth of while avoiding negative impacts on aquatic ecosystem other uses, we developed aquaZone, decision support...
