Ocean permaculture: Air conditioning for warming seas
The oceans are heating up – and fast. Since 1992, the rate of ocean warming has nearly doubled compared with the previous three decades.

The Bottom Line: Feeds and water quality revisited
Although there are volumes of articles and printed material on the importance of maintaining optimum water quality in aquaculture farming systems
Crawfish water quality and management
Poor water quality that persists for days and weeks is detrimental to crawfish production. Water quality is influenced by many factors, both environmental
Cage culture: site selection and water quality
Not all ponds and quarries are suitable for cage culture of fish. Many failures in cage production have occurred because of poor site selection.
How mussel farms can boost biodiversity
Offshore longline mussel farming can have a positive impact on biodiversity, according to a research project that is currently underway off the south coast
Mine over matter
A cheap and plentiful by-product from the coal mining industry could dramatically improve the quality of water being released by land-based aquaculture facility
Environmental DNA sampling shows huge potential for aquaculture
The success of a project that used a cutting-edge genetic technique to assess the presence of water-borne pathogens in Australia's barramundi sector
Study: Aquaculture ‘hot spots’ virtually untapped
A new study, appearing in the Aug. 14 edition of Nature Ecology & Evolution, says that nearly every coastal country in the world could meet its domestic seafood
Phytoplankton in aquaculture ponds: Friend or foe?
Phytoplankton can be a dilemma in aquaculture. Properly managed populations can be very beneficial (“friend”) to aquaculture production systems
Phytoplankton and its impact on and water quality
The abundance of phytoplankton usually is high in aquaculture ponds because of high concentrations of nutrients from fertilizer or feed inputs.
Decomposition and accumulation of organic matter in ponds
Many producers believe that a large amount of organic matter in pond bottoms negatively impacts sediment condition and water quality during future crops.
The importance of liming materials in aquaculture
Agricultural limestone, made by crushing limestone to a fine particle size, and lime made by burning limestone in a kiln are widely used in aquaculture.
Lime plays crucial role in aquaculture pond management
Application of agricultural limestone to improve pH and alkalinity in aquaculture ponds is a widely used practice.
