Chronic stress under commercial aquaculture conditions : scale cortisol to identify and quantify potential stressors in milkfish (Chanos chanos) mariculture Ghent University
With the ever increasing demand for food, global aquaculture practices have intensified enormously over the last years. Due to this intensification, (inadequate) management strategies can cause (chronic) stress in cultured fish, hereby affecting fish performance and welfare. In Southeast Asia milkfish (Chanos chanos) is an important aquaculture species. Traditionally, milkfish are cultured in pond systems with extensive culture practices, ...
Indole signaling, a promising target to control vibriosis in aquaculture Ghent University
Diseases caused by pathogenic vibrios result in major losses in aquaculture. The use of antibiotics in order to control these infections has led to the development and spread of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, rendering antibiotic treatments ineffective and causing problems for food safety. Therefore, novel methods to control vibriosis are needed. A promising alternative is the interference with quorum sensing, bacterial cell-to-cell ...
Economic-environmental trade-offs in marine aquaculture : the case of lobster farming in Vietnam Ghent University
Marine aquaculture has increased in importance in most countries over recent decades. In order to develop this sector in a sustainable way, it is necessary to consider its environmental impacts. In Vietnam, marine cage lobster cultivation has been seen as a high return business. However, in recent years, the sector has been facing sustainability issues, with recurrent disease outbreaks and increased lobster mortality. These phenomena are linked ...
Modelling integrated multi-trophic aquaculture : optimizing a three trophic level system Ghent University
The basics of bio-flocs technology: the added value for aquaculture Ghent University
Global Burden of Animal Diseases : a novel approach to understanding and managing disease in livestock and aquaculture Ghent University
Investments in animal health and Veterinary Services can have a measurable impact on the health of people and the environment. These investments require a baseline metric that describes the burden of animal health and welfare in order to justify and prioritise resource allocation and from which to measure the impact of interventions. This paper is part of a process of scientific enquiry in which problems are identified and solutions sought in an ...
