As part of this journey, AFF has established a record of sound editorial practices that resulted in the journal being listed on the Directory of Open Access Journals and achieving our first impact factor. Here, we look back at the journey that got us this far and provide a perspective moving forward.</p><p>In our inaugural editorial ‘Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries: A New Home for the Blue Revolution’, we highlighted our overarching objective was to provide researchers working within all areas of aquaculture, fisheries science, and fish biology a platform to publish their findings, and by doing this, we sought to build a collaborative relationship with the research community (Becker & Calado, <span>2021</span>). Our approach was not to place a value on novelty or global relevance but rather to consider scientifically sound research from a wide range of topics covering all areas and populations around the globe, aiming to attract research from underrepresented areas that needed attention the most (Becker & Calado, <span>2021</span>). Studies of regional scope can be of significant relevance for populations that rely on aquatic ecosystems and their biological resources for their livelihood. Through this process, we have covered a multitude of themes, such as nutrition, sustainability, disease, immunology, conservation, cultural impacts, reproduction, ecology, climate change, pollution, oceanography, management, economics, and policy amongst others. With publications originating from 47 countries and spanning from all the major regions of the globe, we highlight multiple articles from African and Asian countries that have contributed to raising awareness in areas where targeted boosts to sustainable fisheries and aquaculture practices are most needed (FAO, <span>2024</span>). Moreover, a number of authors based in low-income countries were able to benefit from waiver policies to support article processing charges, making their research available to all those who may benefit from it through open access.</p><p>Some of the editorial highlights published thus far have included a review of Nile Tilapia culture in Kenya that explores production technologies and socioeconomic impacts on local livelihoods (Munguti et al., <span>2022</span>); an investigation into the restoration potential of offshore mussel farming on a degraded seabed habitat in the United Kingdom (Bridger et al., <span>2022</span>); an assessment of predatory fish diets in invasive fish species in a traditional Hawaiian aquaculture system (Akiona et al., <span>2022</span>); the evaluation of alternative protein sources in aquaculture in Tanzania (Limbu et al., <span>20","PeriodicalId":100114,"journal":{"name":"Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries","volume":"4 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aff2.202","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141810426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The past, present and future developments in mariculture in the coastal waters of mainland Tanzania","authors":"Betina Lukwambe,&nbsp;Philip Bwathondi","doi":"10.1002/aff2.201","DOIUrl":"10.1002/aff2.201","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Marine coastal resources are crucial to Tanzania's socio-economic development and are a lifeline for the livelihoods and incomes of coastal communities. This study provides an overview of the coastal development of mariculture in mainland Tanzania and suggests future development strategies. The review article covers extensive reports available through field interviews, government policy documents, library literature searches and field work carried out by the authors. Despite the immense potential of mariculture to improve food security for localcommunities, its development has been uneven. Specifically only seaweed farming has advanced to commercial-scale production. Other mariculture activities, such as finfish farming (e.g. milkfish, silver pompano), shellfish farming (e.g. prawn, mud crab and half-pearl) and sea cucumber farming, are underdeveloped and confined to small-scale operations. Locally consumed finfish, such as milkfish and pompano, have not attracted investors out of fear that the recovery of investment may not be achieved due to the low prices offered in the market. In this context, the sustainable use of coastal resources through mariculture becomes paramount to alleviating poverty and facilitating controlled migration from rural to urban. This comprehensive review explores the historical evolution and current status of mariculture initiatives in the coastal waters of mainland Tanzania, which presents a crucial aspect of the socio-economic development of the nation. With declining global capture fisheries production and a growing demand for fish protein, Tanzania has strategically embraced mariculture as a viable alternative. The article traced the development of mariculture since the 1970s, highlighting past and current initiatives managed by government agencies, non-government organizations and the private sector. Notable successes, such as seaweed culture, are highlighted along with the challenges that hinder the growth of marine farming activities. The review integrates insights from a comprehensive survey in coastal Tanzania, focusing on mariculture activities and collecting information on people who have stopped such practices, elucidating reasons for quitting. By consolidating experiences from past and present mariculture initiatives, this review provides valuable guidance for decision-making towards promoting sustainable mariculture that supports coastal communities while preserving marine biodiversity.</p>","PeriodicalId":100114,"journal":{"name":"Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries","volume":"4 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aff2.201","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141817560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can kill fish at all stages of life, from eggs to adults. It is caused by oomycetes from the genus <i>Saprolegnia</i> and causes fish mortality and huge financial losses to fish farms and hatcheries. <i>Saprolegnia</i> species are endemic and ubiquitous in all freshwater habitats around the world. The exposing factors for saprolegniosis are still largely unknown, but stressors such as temperature shocks, poor water quality, handling and high fish density have been associated with outbreaks. For decades, malachite green was the most effective treatment against <i>Saprolegnia</i> infection, but it has been banned due to its carcinogenic and toxic effects. This has forced farmers to use alternative disinfection methods against <i>Saprolegnia</i> infection, such as hydrogen peroxide, formalin, Bronopol, NaCl, acetic acid and ozone, although many may have safety concerns or are impractical to use. This has led to the investigation of plant-based compounds with antifungal and antibacterial properties against saprolegniosis. These include extracts of certain herbs, onion, garlic, extracts of the plant <i>Chrysanthemum</i>, essential oils of <i>Eryngium campestre</i>, <i>Mentha piperita</i>, <i>Cuminum cyminum</i> and <i>Thymus linearis</i>, which include a variety of phenolic compounds and fatty acids with antifungal properties. This review combines the current knowledge regarding the predisposing factors to <i>Saprolegnia</i> infections and current methods to prevent and treat them, including those under further research.

Skelton","doi":"10.1002/aff2.199","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/aff2.199","url":null,"abstract":"<p>The early stages of mussel farming are often inefficient with a large proportion of seed (spat) typically lost early in the production cycle. An effective approach for decreasing such losses is to grow spat to larger sizes in nursery systems prior to seeding. However, for such an approach to be commercially viable, spat must first be separated from their settlement substrates into a single seed format, that is, singulated. This study investigated the efficacy of three commercial protease enzymes (Enzidase PAP, PXT and BAP) and chlorine (NaOCl) in singulating Greenshell mussel (<i>Perna canaliculus)</i> spat from spat-collector ropes. Two distinct experiments involved immersing segments of spat collector rope in seawater solutions with varying concentrations (2.5% or 5%) of each enzyme or chlorine (NaOCl) for different exposure times (10, 30 and 60 min for enzymes; 2 and 5 min for chlorine). After the singulation experiments, all spat were recovered with sieves and reintroduced into the tanks with renewed seawater. After 24 h of rearing, the recovery of alive spat was measured. Results indicate that in Experiment 1, involving spat ∼5 mm in size, the singulation rate was up to 65% for protease enzymes (i.e., in the case of 5% PAP at 30 min) and 61% for chlorine (i.e., at 5% for 2 min). In Experiment 2, involving spat ∼1.5 mm in size, the singulation rate was up to 85% for protease enzymes (i.e., in the case of 5% PXT for 60 min) and 78% for chlorine (i.e., of 2.5% for 5 min). However, these treatments generally resulted in elevated spat mortality, which was exacerbated by increasing concentrations and exposure times, resulting in recovery rates of up to 35% (i.e., for 2.5% PAP for 30 min) in Experiment 1 and 26.0% (i.e., for 5% chlorine for 2 min) in Experiment 2. These findings emphasise the necessity for consideration of chemical concentrations and exposure times to optimise the singulation process while highlighting challenges in achieving high post-singulation survival rates. These insights contribute to ongoing efforts aimed at improving the efficiency and sustainability of mussel farming practices, demonstrating the potential utility of protease enzymes and chlorination in singulating spat from settlement substrate prior to their transfer to nursery systems for further ongrowing.</p>","PeriodicalId":100114,"journal":{"name":"Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries","volume":"4 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aff2.199","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141639657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite these attributes, Nile tilapia has been negatively impacted by anthropogenic activities ranging from overfishing and habitat destruction to translocations. These human-mediated activities have threatened the genetic evolutionary integrity of native populations of Nile tilapia and congeneric species through admixture, demographic bottlenecks and introgressive hybridization. In this context, the genetic contrast between farmed/bred strains and wild Nile tilapia populations in the major lakes of Uganda remains understudied. Understanding the genetic structure of Nile tilapia populations in the major water bodies of Uganda (lakes Victoria, Kyoga, Edward, George, Albert and Nile River) is a key resource to guide selective breeding programmes, thus minimizing the effects of maladaptation under both aquaculture and natural stocks. Although the population genetics of Nile tilapia in Uganda's major lakes have been studied, this was based on limited sampling scope, especially in the wild, and the key information on the species could have been overlooked. We fill this knowledge gap by genotyping 756 Nile tilapia individuals from multiple populations for each major water body of Uganda using a panel of 34 microsatellite loci based on the microsatellite genotyping-by-sequencing (SSR-GBS) technique. The results indicate two discrete gene pools/stocks: the Edward-George system and the Albert-Kyoga system-Victoria. Evidence of loss of genetic diversity and admixture of some Nile tilapia stocks was found, most likely resulting from anthropogenic perturbations.
