This study describes, for the first time, the annual variability of phytoplankton community in different layers of the water column in open waters off the Basque coast (south-eastern Bay of Biscay). Phytoplankton composition, abundance and biomass...

Aquaculture production is projected to expand from land-based operations to the open ocean as demand for seafood grows and competition increases for inputs to land-based aquaculture, such as freshwater and suitable land. In contrast to land-based...

Aquaculture makes a crucial contribution to global food security and protein intake and is a basis for many livelihoods. Every second fish consumed today is produced in aquaculture systems, mainly in land-based water ponds situated along the coastal...

This study forms an understanding of the representation of women working in FLAG areas and assesses the level and types of support FLAGs provide to these women. The findings add to the wider understanding of the number and roles of women working in...

The solutions and measures here presented are a result of the work carried out with aquaculture stakeholders in the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, and the analysis of the barriers they face for having a good marine litter...

Important operational changes that have gradually been assimilated and new approaches that are developing as part of the movement toward sustainable intensive aquaculture production systems are presented via historical, current, and future...

Approximately 180 million salmonids (salmon and trout) eggs are produced each year in the UK making fish farming the largest livestock sector after broiler production (FAWC 2014). Fish farming is predicted to grow exponentially for the next 10 years...

One very important factor for healthy and prospering fish farming is good knowledge about infectious diseases and the best way to handle those diseases. Bacterial Kidney Disease (BKD) is caused by the Gram-positive bacterium Renibacterium...

This is the first in-depth study which quantifies lice infestation levels on wild and farmed salmonids in a fjord system in Iceland (Arnarfjörður, Westfjords) and gives a baseline for the assessment of sea lice infestation within Icelandic fjords...
