The recording of a webinar on the unique properties of nanobubbles, and their practical applications in aquaculture, is now available on the The Fish Site's YouTube channel.
A new project will be exploring whether gene editing can be used to protect Atlantic salmon from sea lice. A collaboration between researchers from Nofima, Deakin University and the University of…
A team of researchers in Scotland is exploring the use of holographic 3D imaging, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to detect the presence of microscopic sea lice larvae near fish…
Combining the tech and investment resources of Silicon Valley with the practical salmon farming expertise of Norway has been crucial to the success of Aquabyte, according to founder and CEO Bryton…
Loch Long Salmon, which aims to produce salmon in semi-closed containment systems that help to reduce the impact of aquaculture, has launched a series of community consultation events as it aims to…
At the age of only 19 Sander Kristiansen began managing a farm containing over a million salmon, and – one year later – he’s also in the process of designing his own unique fish farm service vessel.
Francisca Samsing Pedrals – who has worked in the salmon sector in Chile, Australia and Norway – is relishing her new role at vet school in Sydney, where she wants to make more people aware of the…
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) has announced plans to establish wild salmon protection zones, in which sea lice numbers on farms are strictly controlled in order to protect…
Leading aquaculture scientists are calling for the sector to create a standardised model to study sea lice that accounts for hydrodynamics and lice biology, allowing researchers to directly compare…
Pat Reynolds, one of the world’s preeminent lumpfish researchers, believes that – despite a number of welfare issues and a slight dip in their popularity – the species merits a prominent place in the…
Jim Treasurer, co-editor of a new comprehensive publication on sea lice, looks back on over three decades of working to combat aquaculture’s best known and most costly ectoparasites.
The environmental impacts of aquaculture are often in the spotlight. The need for sustainable practices is now firmly embedded in the minds of the public, governments and industry – but this…
A new video tool promises to reveal which cleaner fish are bold and which are bashful, helping Scotland’s salmon producers identify the best delousing candidates for their cages.
A new multi-cohort trial has demonstrated the efficacy of semi-closed containment systems (SCCS) for Atlantic salmon – with results showing lower lice counts, higher growth rates, higher final…
A new paper argues that there’s an urgent need to improve understanding of the genetic mechanisms involved in host resistance to whitespot syndrome virus (WSSV) and sea lice – two of the greatest…
