The impact of heavy metals in seawater for sensitive marine larviculture could be minimized via chelation of metals using chemical compounds such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Methods In this study the effects of EDTA were tested for the long‐spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum during larviculture at two concentrations (10 μM and 50 μM) and two exposure durations (6 and 24 days postfertilization). Growth and survival of larvae were evaluated as response variables. Result Significant differences in growth and survival of larvae were found among the treatments at different EDTA concentrations and exposure durations. The 10‐μM EDTA treatment enhanced growth and survival of larvae relative to control for both exposure durations. The 50‐μM EDTA treatment was unsuitable for long‐spined sea urchin larviculture due to reductions in growth and survival. Conclusion The use of 10 μM EDTA during embryo incubation and larviculture is expected to improve long‐spined sea urchin larval fitness, leading to improved hatchery production.","PeriodicalId":19258,"journal":{"name":"North American Journal of Aquaculture","volume":"238 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136114501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods An 8‐week feeding trial was conducted to comprehensively investigate the beneficial effects of CGM on juvenile Fat Greenling Hexagrammos otakii . Juveniles (1.58 ± 0.06 g [mean ± SE]) were fed with different levels of CGM in replacement of fish meal (FM) in the basal diet: 0% (CGM0), 25% (CGM25), 50% (CGM50), 75% (CGM75), and 100% (CGM100) replacement, representing a dietary CGM level of up to 40 g/kg. Result The results showed that the percent weight gain; specific growth rate; feeding rate; feed conversion ratio; hepatosomatic index; and apparent digestibility coefficients of dry matter, protein, and lipid were significantly improved among the experimental groups. Moreover, the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase were significantly increased in the CGM25 and CGM50 groups, respectively. The activities of acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase were significantly decreased in the CGM75 and CGM100 groups. Triglycerides and total cholesterol were significantly increased in the CGM50 and CGM75 groups, respectively. Fish in the CGM100 and CGM75 groups had significantly higher activities of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase than the control. Moreover, the relative expression levels of the fatty acid synthase and acetyl‐coenzyme A carboxylase alpha genes were significantly increased in the CGM75 and CGM100 groups, while the gene expression levels of hormone‐sensitive lipase and peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor alpha were significantly decreased.

Fitzpatrick","doi":"10.1002/naaq.10310","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/naaq.10310","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Objective Cottonseed meal is applied to sunshine bass (female White Bass Morone chrysops × male Striped Bass M. saxatilis ) fry rearing ponds as an organic fertilizer to stimulate plankton development. The efficacy of cottonseed meal as a fertilizer following long‐term storage and degradation is unknown. The use of degraded and undegraded cottonseed meal were compared during the production of sunshine bass fingerlings in lined 0.4‐ha ponds. Methods Filling ponds were fertilized repeatedly between 13 days before and 6 days after fry stocking, and water quality, zooplankton, and 41–48‐day fingerling production were monitored. Adequate phytoplankton and zooplankton densities were maintained using cottonseed meal of both conditions. Result Cottonseed meal condition had no significant impact on any fish production metric. The degraded cottonseed meal appeared to release nitrogen more readily as indicated by higher prestocking NH 3 ‐N concentrations. Higher nutrient availability likely stimulated primary productivity at a faster rate, leading to higher dissolved oxygen, pH, and zooplankton densities during the first half of the pond cycle. The ponds fertilized with degraded cottonseed meal required more intensive water quality management to maintain adequate dissolved oxygen and pH for sunshine bass fry. However, poststocking water quality parameters were within species tolerance ranges.

Methods In this effort, Striped Bass strains from Atlantic (Delaware, Virginia, and Maryland) and Gulf Coast (Florida and Texas) states were cultured in recirculating aquaculture systems, simulating a full‐production cycle to early market size in each respective region's photothermal environment. The Atlantic and Gulf strains were initially maintained in recirculating aquaculture systems “nurseries” until 400 and 160 days postspawn, respectively, when offshore conditions (temperature) were conducive for stocking juvenile fish. Individuals from all strains were implanted with PIT tags and stocked (“common garden design”) into a pair of identical recirculating systems (three 5000‐L tanks/system). One system received 48 Atlantic fish/tank (16 fish/strain; Delaware, Virginia, and Maryland), and the second system received 48 Gulf fish/tank (24 fish/strain; Florida and Texas). Salinity was maintained at 30‰, and photothermal regimes corresponded with ambient ocean conditions at selected locations off the mid‐Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

The objective of this study was to measure the regulatory compliance burden on U.S. HSB and Red Drum farms. Methods National surveys were conducted in 2021 of U.S. hybrid Striped Bass and Red Drum farmers with response rates of 35% and 89% and coverage rates of 37% and 99.8%, respectively. Result Results showed that the regulatory costs were one of the greatest costs of production, at 22% of total costs on HSB farms and 15% on Red Drum farms. Nationally, the total annual regulatory compliance cost burden was US$4.5 million for HSB and $2.2 million annually for Red Drum farms. Per‐farm, the regulatory cost burden was $152,698 ($1.20/kg) on HSB farms and $274,746/farm ($1.44/kg) on Red Drum farms. In addition, lost sales revenue on HSB farms was found to equal 92% of total sales revenue, at $31.3 million, and 54% of total sales revenue on Red Drum farms, at $13.6 million. The regulatory categories of greatest cost were those related to water rights and access, predatory bird management, and effluent discharge regulations. Conclusion Regulatory constraints have likely contributed to the contraction of the HSB sector from 2012 to 2018 and likely dampened the sales growth observed in Red Drum farming over the same time period. Smarter and more cost‐effective approaches to regulatory oversight of U.S. aquaculture are needed that allow for growth to meet increased demand for locally produced food and to remove the economic incentives to import seafood produced under less environmentally sustainable conditions than those in the USA.","PeriodicalId":19258,"journal":{"name":"North American Journal of Aquaculture","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136359980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One route flavobacteria gain access to aquaculture facilities is via source water. Ultraviolet (UV) light treatment of source water has been effective in reducing the risk of disease outbreaks caused by nonflavobacteria; however, the UV dose required to inactivate flavobacteria has been understudied. The primary objective of this study was to examine the efficacy of UV light treatments for reducing the viability of fish‐pathogenic and fish‐associated Flavobacterium and Chryseobacterium species in a planktonic form. Methods Sixty‐five flavobacterial isolates belonging to ten Flavobacterium spp. and Chryseobacterium spp. were exposed to a low (25 mJ/cm 2 ) and high (126 mJ/cm 2 ) dose of UV light via a collimating beam apparatus under in vitro conditions, after which treatment efficacy was determined via culture. Result All assayed flavobacteria were reduced by an average of ~1000‐fold or ~100,000‐fold at the low and high UV doses, respectively; however, substantial differences in reduction at the same UV dose were noted among isolates of the same flavobacterial species, including F. psychrophilum , F. columnare , and F. oreochromis . In addition, F. psychrophilum multilocus sequence typing variants ST10 and ST78, which are two of the most widespread variants in the United States of America, were among the least susceptible to ultraviolet light. Conclusion Overall, results demonstrate that viable flavobacteria can be reduced substantially by ultraviolet doses of 25–126 mJ/cm 2 , suggesting such treatments represent a promising tool for minimizing flavobacterial loads in hatcheries and aquaculture facilities, thereby enhancing biosecurity and reducing the risk of epizootics.","PeriodicalId":19258,"journal":{"name":"North American Journal of Aquaculture","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136341271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Feces was evaluated for particle size composition and the content of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) in each size class. There was a significant difference in fecal particle size composition of trout fed the experimental diets compared to the commercial feed. Fish fed the four experimental diets produced feces with approximately 43% large particles and 24% fines, compared to 6% and 67% for the trout fed the commercial diet. The TN in feces of trout fed the FM diet (3.84%) was significantly higher than for the FM‐free diets, which also declined linearly (2.68%, 1.91%, and 1.59%) as the content of PM was replaced with plant‐based protein. An interaction was also observed between diet and particle size on fecal N content in which a significant increase in TN from large particles compared to fines occurred for the experimental FM diet, but there was little difference between size classes for the non‐FM based feeds. The feces of trout fed the FM diet contained more TP (100,007 ug/g) than feces of fish fed the FM‐free diets (46,751 to 72,659 ug/g), likely due to higher dietary P content of FM, but TP concentrations followed a similar trend as TN in the FM‐free feeds, declining as the proportion of plant protein sources increased (and PM decreased). The large fecal particles (72,235 ug/g) contained more TP than the mid‐size particles (68,926 ug/g) or fines (61,974 ug/g), which could be due to leaching in the latter two particle size classes, as the potential for solubility likely increased as particle size decreased. These findings may have important implications for improving the fecal particle size profile for sedimentation and removal of regulated nutrients through formulation of rainbow trout feeds in replacement of FM with plant protein.","PeriodicalId":19258,"journal":{"name":"North American Journal of Aquaculture","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135199753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
