- Invest in technological innovation and transfer. Aquaculture is a young industry—decades behind that of livestock farming. Improvements in breeding technology, disease control, feeds and nutrition, and low-impact production systems are interlinked areas where science can complement traditional knowledge to improve efficiency.
- Focus beyond the farm. Most aquaculture regulations and certification schemes focus at the individual farm level. But having many producers in the same area can lead to cumulative environmental impacts—such as water pollution or fish diseases—even if everyone is following the law.
- Shift incentives to reward sustainability. A variety of public and private policies can give farmers incentives to practice more sustainable aquaculture.
- Leverage the latest information technology. Advances in satellite and mapping technology, ecological modeling, open data, and connectivity mean that global-level monitoring and planning systems that encourage sustainable aquaculture development may now be possible.
National fish hatcheries use aquaculture to raise threatened, endangered, or at-risk species in a safe captive environment for eventual release into a natural setting. This work, along with habitat restoration, and other federal protections, can help boost and support wild populations.
A state-of-the-art marine hatchery including maturation, live feeds, larval rearing and nursery systems as well as a world-class nutrition lab are available for conducting R&D projects, technology development and transfer and training.
Sep 6, 2019 · Meaningful progress in operational efficiencies and technologies in the hatchery sector have contributed significantly to the overall growth of the aquaculture industry. Here’s a look at how far it has come.
Dec 6, 2023 · The fish’s unusually high mortality rate across all stages of production makes it a challenge for farmers to raise this fish for profit. Researchers at Auburn University hope to expand production of largemouth bass in Alabama and the U.S. by solving the problem of high mortality rates.
Defining fish species according to salinity systems may lead to some confusions. Examples: When seeds are produced in marine hatcheries but grown in different salinities including freshwater (e.g. mullet/shrimp/European seabass) When seeds are produced in freshwater and grown in saline waters (e.g. tilapia)
