A study into the global pattern of disease outbreaks in aquaculture claims that disease is a threat to developing aquaculture operations.
The study, conducted by Tommy Leung, a lecturer in parasitology and evolutionary biology at the University of New England, Australia, concluded that fish and shellfish disease will increasingly present a major problem
for aquaculture in tropical countries, many of which rely on this form
of food production for dietary protein, according to the study, which
calls for better disease-response strategies and infrastructure in
developing countries.
The results are published in February's issue of the Journal of Applied Ecology.
Japan's tight controls over ethoxyquin regulation are levels are starting to affect shrimp exports, says FoodNavigator-Asia. Last year, new Japanese regulations governing 'acceptable' levels of the
antioxidant ethoxyquin in fishmeal was destined to become a grave issue
for shrimp exporters. Exactly six months later, the effects of this
policy have resulted in a sharp fall in seed stocking at shrimp farms in
countries like India and Vietnam.
Rest material from herring is being tested with at Nofima, Norway. Tony Christopeit's PhD thesis studied how small ligands from herring have
been applied in the trial with HIV enzymes. Christopeit has observed that these
ligands have influenced the HIV enzymes.
