The population of the Scottish Highlands and Islands had been in a steady decline because of a lack in employment opportunities. Under strong encouragement by the Highlands and Islands Development Board, salmon farming has been a significant factor in reversing this decline. In 1988, aquaculture development in Scotland exceeded 20,000 tonnes of salmon, and provided about 1,600 jobs in fish farming, 120 jobs in feed production, and another 1,800 jobs in processing; it is estimated that over 5,000 people are employed in activities serving aquaculture. The spin-off effects of this development are analyzed in detail. Aquaculture production is compared to the “hands on” value of other industries in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland; worth over £ 80,000,000 at the farm gate, salmon farming ranks alongside beef production and white fish in economic value. A salmon production of 60,000 tonnes is predicted for 1990. Taking the expansion of the salmon industry and other aquaculture activities into account, the calculated impact zone covers about 480 ha only and will occupy only about 0.01 % of national scenic areas. Future prospects in the industry as well as user-conflicts are discussed. 相似文献

The red drums, Sciaenops ocellatus, are predatory marine fish from Atlantic American coast. They were introduced to Taiwan for aquaculture purpose in 1987 and
have been reported in the wild along the southwest coast of Taiwan since 1998. Their current distribution is on the western
coast of Taiwan and the Matsu Islands of Fujian Province where there are sand and mud bottoms. However, the discontinuous
populations of Taiwan and Matsu indicated different sources of introduction. The facts that there are consecutive records
of red drums for 7 years including every single month, at multiple localities, and the fish’s larger size all point to their
survival in the wild. The mechanisms of their introductions are probably the escapes from net cages as well as the deliberate
releases to improve fisheries and for religious activities. This paper documents for the first time a marine fish has invaded
and established in coastal water off western Taiwan and the Indo-West Pacific. The ecological impact of red drums on the local
fish community is still unknown and calls for further studies. 相似文献

The decline in the fisheries of traditional marine species has been an incentive for the diversification of today's aquaculture sector into the intensive rearing of many finfish species. The increasing interest in commercial farming of different finfish species is expected to result in similar environmental and husbandry-related problems as have been experienced in the development of the salmonid farming industry. An understanding of the biology of the fish species being cultured, in particular the immune response is important for improved husbandry and health management of the species. The innate immune system of fish has generated increasing interest in recent years and is now thought to be of key importance in primary defence and in driving adaptive immunity. This review focuses on key components (cellular and humoral) of the innate immune responses of different fish species of commercial importance. 相似文献

Gene editing offers opportunities to solve fish farming sustainability issues that presently hampers expansion of the aquaculture industry. In for example Atlantic salmon farming, there are now two major bottlenecks limiting the expansion of the industry. One is the genetic impact of escaped farmed salmon on wild populations, which is considered the most long-term negative effect on the environment. Secondly and the utmost acute problem is the fish parasite salmon lice, which is currently causing high lethality in wild salmonids due to high concentrations of the parasite in the sea owing to sea cage salmon farming. There are also sustainability issues associated with increased use of vegetable-based ingredients as replacements for marine products in fish feed. This transition comes at the expense of the omega-3 content both in fish feed and the fish filet of the farmed fish. Reduced fish welfare represents another obstacle, and robust farmed fish is needed to avoid negative stress associated phenotypes such as cataract, bone and fin deformities, precocious maturity and higher disease susceptibility. Gene editing could solve some of these problems as genetic traits can be altered positively to reach phenotype of interest such as for example disease resistance and increased omega-3 production. 相似文献

This paper describes marine aquaculture production and the regulation thereof in Turkey. Dominated by the cage farming of sea bass ( Dicentrarchus labrax) and sea bream ( Sparus aurata), shellfish farming is insignificant. Finfish farmers must obtain permits from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA) as the main authority responsible for regulating marine finfish aquaculture. In addition, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MEF) controls the compatibility of interactions with the environment while the provincial governments issue permits for marine public property use and organize the leasing procedures. Finfish farming activities are controlled by a number of specific laws and regulations administered mainly through the MARA and the MEF. This article provides a review of the development and present status of the licensing, regulating and monitoring procedures for finfish aquaculture in Turkey. The notable expansion of the finfish aquaculture sector in recent years and the problems created in relation to the current relevant legislation and applications are presented and discussed. 相似文献

A range of chemicals are used in European marine aquaculture and these may be categorized as disinfectants, antifoulants and medicines (includes vaccines). This article provides a review of chemicals used in aquaculture in Europe, their regulatory status, and a checklist of points considered best practice in the use (and avoidance of use) of medicines in marine aquaculture. The release of antifoulants and disinfectants into the marine environment is controlled by local and/or national waste discharge regulations that may in turn be guided by wider environmental quality objectives. The authorization of veterinary medicines, biologicals (vaccines) and pharmaceuticals (chemicals), in Europe is the subject of several EC Directives. Registration dossiers address the issues of product quality, safety and efficacy and include environmental and consumer safety where the product is destined for use in a food‐producing animal. Fish farmers, like all livestock producers, must have access to a range of properly authorized medicines to safeguard animal health and welfare. The distribution and supply of medicines must be appropriately controlled and their authorization appropriately includes environmental risk assessment to a common European Union (EU) or international standard. There is progress towards the harmonization of the authorization process within the EU and this will help to ensure the continued availability of medicines for fish. Consumer safety is addressed by the setting of maximum residue limits (MRLs) derived through toxicological risk assessment and by surveillance of food for residues of veterinary medicines. The system for the environmental risk assessment of chemicals used in aquaculture is being developed and is outlined in the present article. It is recommended that the supply and use of fish medicines is uniformly regulated in the EU and supported by appropriate codes of best practice. A number of codes of practice that include reference to the use of medicines have been produced both at a European level and in member states. It is recommended that all European marine aquaculture producers adopt a code of best practice for the use of medicinal and other chemicals their industry. Medicines are one part of an integrated package in dealing with animal health. This includes environmental conditions, nutrition and hygiene. The best practice guidelines presented here are based on the outcome of three European workshops as part of the EU MARAQUA project that involved industry, government and research scientists. They cover the avoidance and minimizing of the need to use medicines and other chemicals, to recording and monitoring their use and effectiveness (in case of resistance development), exchange of experiences within the industry, and staff training. Recommendations are also included for manufacturers of medicines and other chemicals, and for regulatory authorities. Minimizing the need to use medicines and other chemicals requires attention to a healthy source of fish stock. Staff must be appropriately trained in fish husbandry (to minimize stress), hygiene and disease recognition and treatment, including management of the farm site to keep it disease free. The latter may require single generations of fish per site to allow a fallow period during which a disease or parasite cycle is broken. These recommendations and guidelines are in accordance with the current codes of practice being developed by different sectors of the aquaculture industry in different countries. They do not necessarily involve significantly higher production costs and indeed are more likely to save costs as medicines and disease impacts are very costly to industry. 相似文献

The mangrove forest of Bangladesh, the largest continuous mangrove bulk, is one of the most important features of the coastal
area of the country. The existence of the mangrove has increased the values of other coastal and marine resources such as
the coastal and marine fisheries by increasing productivity and supporting a wide biological diversity. The deltaic mangrove
of Bangladesh is ecologically different from the other, mostly nondeltaic mangroves of the world and is unique also in its
floral and faunal assemblage; therefore, a number of endangered plants and animals that are extinct from other parts of the
world, are existing in Bangladesh mangrove. However, the mangrove has been under intensive pressure of exploitation for the
last few decades which, in addition to direct clearance and conversion have placed the mangrove under extreme threat. Shrimp
farming is the most destructive form of resource use the mangrove has been converted to, which contributed significantly to
mangrove destruction with a corresponding loss of biological resources. Concerns have been raised among the ecologists, biologists,
managers and policy makers since the early 1990s; deliberate destruction of mangrove and unplanned development of coastal
aquaculture particularly shrimp aquaculture have been put under extreme criticism and the sustainability has been questioned.
The present status of the mangrove resources including mangrove fisheries and aquaculture and management practices have been
reviewed in this paper; impacts of different forms of human interventions and resource use have also been discussed. It is
suggested that the management options and the policy aspects should be critically reviewed and amended accordingly; beneficiaries
and stakeholders at all levels of resource exploitation must take part and contribute to conservation and management. An immediate
need for mangrove conservation has been identified. 相似文献

Epizootic outbreaks of fish diseases are increasingly common as a result of intensive aquaculture, fish farming and sea ranching. Very few drugs are available for treatment or prophylaxis against fish diseases, and development of such compounds is inhibited by different national regulations governing the use of chemicals in fish for human or animal consumption. Alternative approaches are urgently needed. But although the taxonomy and biology of fish parasites have been extensively studied, relatively little is known about protective immunity in fish and the effects of parasites on the piscine immune system. In this article, Patrick Woo discusses the immune responses of fish to parasitic protozoa, showing that vaccination is a viable control strategy, and stressing the need for a coordinated global research programme on fish diseases. 相似文献

21世纪是渔业的世纪。中国和世界水产业历经数十年的发展为人类应对食品危机做出了巨大贡献。然而,我国传统的水产业对产量的片面追求导致养殖环境日趋恶化,养殖生态系统不断退化,养殖业的可持续发展受到限制。传统稻田其氮素的流失亦是导致农业面源污染的主要原因之一。我国当前的环境问题源于复合生态系统演化进程的缺陷,解决当前的环境问题,必须从优化复合生态系统演化进程着眼。采用优化的生态循环水产养殖模式,如综合水产养殖则可以大大提高氮、磷等养分物质的利用率。稻渔综合种养是一种科学的复合生态模式,可以概括为三种模式,一种是在我国传统稻田养鱼的基础上,逐步发展起来的一种稻渔共生模式,可采取稻鱼、稻蟹、稻虾等多种共作形式;二是稻田作为湿地用于处理水产养殖尾水的模式,属于异位处理形式;三是将稻渔共生和水产养殖相耦合的模式,尤其是与多种水产养殖形式结合或与复合水产养殖系统相结合,甚至是与农牧系统相结合。这第三种稻渔共作模式又称为陆基生态渔场,具有高产、高品质、高生态可持续性等特点,应加强对该创新养殖模式中有机碳、氮、磷等营养收支平衡和循环利用的相关机制以及复合生态系统对外源营养输入的整体响应机制开展研究。概括而... 相似文献

【背景】碳汇是指从大气中消除二氧化碳的过程、活动或机制,我国最先提出碳汇渔业概念。【方法】捕捞鱼类的碳均来自天然饵料,故以其平均碳含量估算碳移出量。而养殖鱼类中,一般假定不考虑施肥养鱼的碳输入;鲢和鳙是滤食性鱼类,主要摄食浮游生物,鳜属鱼类以其他种鱼类为食物,而这些鱼类主要摄食天然饵料,故可以认为其碳均来自天然饵料。此外,假设草鱼、鲫和鲤等产量的20%来自天然饵料,而河蟹产量的50%来自天然饵料。基于渔业统计年鉴(2011—2015年),估算了我国近5年来淡水渔业碳汇强度。【结果】2010—2014年,全国淡水养殖碳移出量逐年稳步增长,分别为136.2万、140.5万、146.0万、153.0万和164.5万t,平均每年的碳移出量为148.0万t。2010—2014年全国淡水捕捞碳移出量分别为29.3万、28.7万、29.6万、29.7万和29.6万t,平均每年的碳移出量为29.4万t。【结论与意义】在自然资源日益减少的情况下,淡水养殖渔业碳汇的发展必然会成为淡水渔业经济发展的主体。 相似文献

For the shrimp farming industry of Mexico, disease outbreaks caused by white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) are relatively recent. Efforts to control the virus are assisted by monitoring for its prevalence in aquaculture systems, but few attempts have been made to search for it in carriers from coastal waters. To search for WSSV carriers in the Gulf of California, we made surveys off the coast of Sinaloa, Mexico, in March 2001, November 2001, and September 2003 using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays and histopathology. WSSV-positive shrimp were detected only in November 2001, after hurricane Julliete. This suggested possible dispersal of WSSV to the marine environment from infected shrimp farms. 相似文献

Large amounts of antimicrobials are used in salmonid aquaculture in Chile. Most are used in marine aquaculture, but appreciable amounts are also employed in freshwater aquaculture. Much research and many publications have examined transferable antimicrobial resistance in bacteria isolated from marine salmon farms, but much less attention has been paid to this area in freshwater salmon farming. A recent paper by Domínguez et al. (2019) has as least in part remedied this situation. We now comment on some of its interpretations and have attempted to point out its areas of strength and weakness in light of the published scientific literature. Seen in this setting, the important results presented by Domínguez et al. (2019) underline the need for increased awareness of the challenge to animal and human health posed by excessive use of antimicrobials in aquaculture. 相似文献

Aquaculture production is constrained largely by the growth efficiency of the species being produced. Nutritional approaches
have played an important part in improving this situation, but, it is argued, the room for further improvement using such
established techniques is limited. Alternative ways of improving fish production by utilizing recent biotechnological advances
are explored and assessed as to their potential for commercialization in the near future. Transgenic technologies promise
a revolution in aquaculture, but it is considered that consumer resistance may delay the use of transgenic fish for food production.
An alternative approach could be the breeding of transgenic fodder plants without the amino acid deficiencies of existing
alternatives to fish meal in aquaculture diets. The use of probiotics could reduce antibiotic use on fish farms while they
might also provide the basis for ``smart' diets, tailored to specific purposes by the inclusion of microorganisms. The selection
and genetic engineering of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria could also pave the way for fully enclosed, recirculating
marine culture systems, which would allow control of the environmental variables that currently restrain marine fish culture.

This research examines the current water quality status of Izmir Bay, using the trophic index (TRIX) as a tool for the regulation of Turkish marine finfish aquaculture. In 2007, new legislation was enacted in Turkey related to the protection of coastal waters, especially those of enclosed bays and gulfs, from pollution by fish farming. However, the legislation does not apply to any other coastal zone stakeholders; for this reason the entire Izmir Bay was examined. Use of the composite trophic status index (TRIX) produced mean TRIX values of 3.6 for the aquaculture area (AA) and 2.5 for areas of the outer bay where no aquaculture takes place; this indicates ‘no risk of eutrophication’ as defined by Turkish law. In the inner Izmir Bay, there is a mean TRIX value of 4.3, which is above the threshold of four and typical for ‘high eutrophication risk’ areas, as expected because of heavy urbanization. The study then applied the UNTRIX indices adjusted to local conditions, revealing that both the inner bay and the aquaculture area (AA) can be classified as of ‘poor’ status whereas the outer bay can be defined as ‘good’. The UNTRIX‐based trophic classification is in good agreement with TRIX for both the outer and inner parts of the bay; however, there is no agreement regarding the classification of the aquaculture area. 相似文献

Early in Australia's prawn aquacultural history it was very clear that all viruses in aquaculture had been preceded by their discovery in the wild prawns from the fishery. During the farming intensification process, it was also very clear that the housing of spawners from the fishery was providing evidence of potential problems. There is no evidence that there has been any introduction of viruses novel to Australia, but rather the viruses have been always present in the wild prawns awaiting a chance to be amplified by the increasing population density of aquaculture. The information on prawn viruses adds weight to the view that Australia's marine disease faunas are part of the greater Asian area. However, there is some evidence that some of the Australian strains are, in all probability, different. 相似文献

Over recent decades, parasitic diseases have been increasingly considered a sanitary and economic threat to Mediterranean aquaculture. In order to monitor the distribution of parasites in cultured marine fish from Italy and study their pathogenic effects on the host, a three-year survey based on parasitological and histopathological exams was carried out on 2141 subjects from eleven fish species and coming from different farming systems (extensive, intensive inland farms, inshore floating cages, offshore floating cages and submersible cages). A number of parasitic species was detected, mostly in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax), gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata), mullets (Chelon labrosus, Mugil cephalus, Liza ramada) and sharpsnout sea bream (Diplodus puntazzo), with distribution patterns and prevalence values varying in relation to the farming system, in-season period and size category. The epidemiology and pathological effects of the parasites found during the survey are discussed. 相似文献

Zooarchaeological data provide direct evidence of long-term human resource utilization relevant to the modern study of sustainability and conservation. On the northwest coast of North America, prehistoric aboriginal communities relied heavily on nearshore marine fish species, many of which have life history characteristics that make them vulnerable to overexploitation. This study examines temporal trends in the abundance and distribution of nearshore fish from skeletal remains recovered from three separate areas of a prehistoric coastal village on the west coast of Vancouver Island (ca. 1800–250 yr BP). Over the course of 1500 years, site inhabitants from these contemporaneously occupied areas regularly utilized Sebastes spp. (rockfish), with varying impacts on abundance and total length. Contrasting temporal trends in Sebastes spp. total length in separate village areas suggest different consequences to prehistoric harvesting practices, differences that can be linked to ethnographic and archaeological evidence of lineage-based territories. These long-term zooarchaeological data provide unique insights into the context and challenges of sustainable resource use in prehistory and can inform contemporary conservation efforts focused on similar species in this modern-day marine protected area. 相似文献

A current practice of marine aquaculture is to integrate fish with low-trophic-level organisms (e.g. molluscs and/or algae)
during farming to minimise effects of cultivation on the surrounding environment and to potentially increase economic income.
This hypothesis has been tested in the present article experimentally, by co-cultivating fish and mussels ( Mytilus galloprovincialis) in the field. Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) experiments were started in July 2004 by transplanting mussel
seed at two depths (−3 and −9 m) within 1,000 m downstream to fish cages and at 1,000 m upstream from cages. Mussels were
cultured in nylon net bags for 12 months and the growth recorded biometrically. The outcome of our field experiment corroborated
the idea of IMTA effectiveness. In fact, in the study area, the organic matter from fish-farm biodeposition caused changes
in the chemical environment (i.e. controls and impacted sites were significantly different for organic matter availability
and chlorophyll- a) and this induced changes in growth performance of co-cultivated mussels. Mussels cultivated close to cages, under direct
organic emission, reached a higher total length, weight and biomass than mussel cultivated far from farms. 相似文献

The public authorities have recently approved the building of a Littoral Station in Aguda, a small fishing village on the Atlantic coast, 15 km south of the River Douro estuary in the municipal area of Vila Nova de Gaia. The internal structure of the building involves a Fishery Museum exhibiting ancient and modern gear, a Public Aquarium displaying the local marine fauna and flora and a Research and Educational Department for marine biology, aquaculture and fishery. The project was drawn up by the architect João Paulo Peixoto, in collaboration with local engineers, and the author. In Aguda there is an active, small-scale fishery, based on traditional methods handed down from generation to generation. The almost unstudied local marine fauna and flora is characterized by a high diversity of invertebrates and a rich abundance of fish stocks. Easy access to a variety of marine biotopes is guaranteed by means of the local fishing-fleet, thus supporting the Station's programme of education and research. 相似文献

The literature pertaining to the use of registered antibacterial agents in Mediterranean finfish farming is reviewed, with
an emphasis on the Greek fish-farming industry. This review provides a scientific resource dedicated to the design of future
antibacterial dosing regimes in Mediterranean fish farming, where insufficient supporting information is currently available.
This paper addresses the paucity in knowledge concerning pharmacokinetics and the efficacy and environmental impact of commonly
used antibacterials needed to direct future research and promote good practices in the euryhaline fish farming industry. Several
registered antibacterials are currently available for combating bacterial infections, including tetracyclines, (fluoro) quinolones,
potentiated sulfa, penicillin and chloramphenicol derivatives. Based on the available data, oxytetracycline (OTC) and quinolone
drugs (oxolinic acid – OA and flumequine – FLU) are the most widely used in Mediterranean aquaculture. As a result these drugs
have received the most extensive studies, whereas, there is considerable paucity of reliable data on pharmacokinetic and the
depletion characteristics of other drugs used, particularly potentiated sulfa, penicillin derivatives and florfenicol. We
find there is incomplete data on drug efficacy and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for common antibacterials used
against the major bacterial pathogens of Mediterranean fish species. Furthermore, a considerable lack of data on environmental
drug concentrations around Mediterranean fish farms was also identified, highlighting the need for more extensive environmental
studies to monitor contamination in environmental components i.e., water and sediment, and in non-target species (flora and
fauna). Prudent selection and use of antibacterials can encourage lower dosage applications, enhance treatment efficacy, and
help to minimize contamination of the environment. Selection of readily bioavailable drugs which have low environmental persistence,
low aquatic toxicity and high antibacterial efficacy is advised, to reduce potential losses to the environment and associated
toxic effects on target species and the development of bacterial resistance. Lack of present data made it impossible to provide
thorough and accurate guidance on selection and use of antibacterials and approaches for minimizing environmental impacts
for the treatment of major euryhaline aquaculture species. 相似文献
