Japan: First-Ever Simultaneous Cultivation of Whiteleg Shrimp and Herbs in Seawater
17 June 2025 1827 View
In this pilot experiment, seawater will be used in an aquaponics system to raise whiteleg shrimp — a species in high demand in Japan. The same water will be circulated through planting beds to grow salt-tolerant crops such as Swiss chard and high-value herbs. Throughout the experiment, sensors will be used to collect essential data for both shrimp and plants, and their symbiotic effects will be studied with the goal of commercializing brackish water aquaponics. As part of this goal, the company
Application of Science & Technology: A “Lever” to Elevate Vietnam’s Fisheries Sector
17 June 2025 1414 View
Vietnam’s fisheries sector has achieved many significant milestones in recent years, contributing to the country’s national economic development. In 2024, total seafood output reached nearly 9.7 million tons, with export turnover exceeding USD 10.03 billion, placing Vietnam among the Top 3 largest seafood exporters in the world. Science and technology have been a key driving force behind this success, especially in selective breeding of major aquaculture species such as black tiger shrimp,
Distinguishing Between Powder and Liquid Probiotics in Aquaculture
17 June 2025 1588 View
Probiotics play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their practical benefits. Firstly, they help improve water quality by breaking down excess organic matter, uneaten feed, feces, and dead plankton. This reduces the formation of toxic compounds such as ammonia (NH₃), nitrite (NO₂⁻), and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S).
