However, producers face health-related issues with the consequent use of medications, like in any intensive farming activity, which causes tissue and environmental microbial floraaccumulation. Fish, like mammals,
Authors: Maxine Canvin and Finley Forwood are students in the MSc Sustainable Aquaculture programme in the School of Biological and Marine Sciences at the University of Plymouth. They are also winners of the 2021 Mycotoxin Aquaculture Challenge supported by BIOMIN. In the US, aflatoxin alone is predicted to cost from US$52.1 million to US$1.66 billion annually in losses to the food and feed corn industry. These c
by Mian N Riaz, Director of Process Engineering R&D Center at Texas A&M University The extruder is an ideal machine that can be designed for processing floating or sinking aquatic feed by adjusting the formula. Extrusion requires moisture, heat, and pressure to process the aqua feed. Temperature higher than 100℃ are needed in order to achieve expansion of the aqua feed as it leaves the die. In ex
The idea of producing your own sustainable food has attracted many growers to try aquaponic gardening. With aquaponics, you can grow any plant you want. But one of the first questions aquaponics growers often asks is, what are the best plants for my aquaponics system? There are some things that you should consider before planting your first seeds. Some plants adapt better to a smaller system, while other nutrient-hungry plants require larger systems to thrive. Read on to learn what types of plan
