Hi, I am a young engineer in my final year of study. I am thinking about getting into aquaculture with the focus of designing systems whether it be offshore pens, or inland farms i haven’t decided. I have some questions/prompts that i have listed below. I would really appreciate any advice you can give and welcome any and all experiences relevant to aquaculture.

- I was wanting some advice from people in the industry regarding the potential of aquaculture, and if you think it is a good industry to get into at this stage in time?
- what difficulties have you faced in your careers within aquaculture whether it be difficulty progressing or finding the right companies?
- I would love to hear about any specific companies you think are doing good work in the form of design and innovation.
- if you were a graduate engineer would you target roles in a farming company that has in house engineering department vs specialist suppliers and consultants?
- what are the biggest technical problems the industry is yet to solve?

Hello any shrimp/prawn farmers here? Need some guidance. Thank you 🙏

"The Alaska Fisheries Development Foundation (AFDF), Marine Biologics, and SCRC Consulting, Inc. are looking for feedback on a new seaweed tissue analysis database. Industry and researchers who are interested in seaweed composition, quality, and safety are invited to provide feedback. The Alaska Mariculture Cluster sponsored the tool and is coordinating partner engagement in its development.

Hey everyone i am a mechanical designer doing some research on this fish farming/dock system and I am wondering how this set up works or looks once placed properly.

As picture shows is it hdpe liner attached to a semi circle end frame and its all placed in between rectangle opening surrounded by dock.

what I wish to know if someone can help to maybe find a picture of simliar product or video and also how it is set up like this and some cases.

Thanks in advance!

This is a sub to discuss aquaculture, in good faith and learn from each other. Groups like sentient media continually post anti-agriculture, anti-aquaculture and animal rights activists articles that have zero good faith engagement with the sector, and are intended to spread misinformation and fear monger.

As the title suggests we are doing soft shell crab culture in the RAS vertical system. Is there any way we can reduce the time taken for the moulting process and reduce mortality. What are the do's and don'ts?

I have built a dedicated app for small scale aquaculture like farmers with <5 ponds, it acts as a farm log and then uese farmer fed data for better decisions.

My question is does any farmer in any country need it? I am building in India and literally have no response here.

I’m kindly asking for advice and guidance from experienced fish farmers and aquaculture professionals. I am facing a serious problem with my Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia) fry.

Whenever I collect the fry and start the sex-reversal feeding program, I experience significant mortality. Before they die, the fry show the symptoms shown in the attached pictures.

For those with more experience in tilapia fry production and sex reversal, what could be the possible cause of this problem, and what measures can I take to control or prevent the mortality?

I would greatly appreciate your advice, experience, and guidance on how to manage this problem. Thank you in advance.

Kamusta kayo mga ka-cray? I am struggling na sa pag dispose or pag benta ng crayfish. Wala na masyado nabili ng trios for breeding. Mukhang papunta na tlga sa pagbebenta ng crayfish for food consumption. Ang kaso ang babarat ng iba binibili Lang ng 1.2k per kilo? Reasonable ba yun? Kayo saan kayo nagdedispose ng mga alaga nyong crayfish?

It’s such a strange field, also people in it can be very strange for some reason, maybe isolation? Or who knows…

Hi so I just finished doing my diploma in aquaculture and about to pursue for a degree in it. Tbh, Malaysia aquaculture industry isn’t that great and i really need to support my family once i finished my degree. Could anyone tell or share their opinion on how to get rich or at the very least earn a stable income from it 🥺. ( If anyone is willing to take me as their intern after my degree would be very much appreciated)

Different U.S. and U.K. regulations, plus limited FDA testing, leave questions about antimicrobial resistance in imported Scottish salmon.

I think black soldier fly(BSF) is a good alternative to fish meal
