🌊🦑 Profand is part of the Fishery Improvement Project (FIP) of Pota Argentina (Illex Argentinus) promoted by the Cámara de Armadores de Poteros Argentinos (CAPA). The promotion and support of fishery improvement projects aims at a good management of resources based on science and accompanied by robust regulatory frameworks, thus establishing the conditions for a long-term sustainable exploitation of fishery resources. The active participation of Profand Argentina in this project, demonstrates our commitment to sustainability and continuous improvement of the fishing industry. #Profand4Future

Data Intelligence #update alert! Last week, our #Manolin team went deep into historical female sea lice numbers 📊 for PO3 and PO4, revealing astonishing results highlighted on our blog and newsletter. 🚀 Our analysis showed that from 2017 to 2023, PO3 saw a significant 30.8% reduction in average female sea lice, while PO4 achieved an impressive 35.3% reduction. These findings have provided invaluable insights into the effectiveness of sea lice management in these production areas. 📈 This week, Intrafish Media AS follows up from Manolin's results, diving deeper on the implications of these findings and the need for further collaboration and adjustments in the Traffic Light System to ensure sustainable growth in the #aquacultureindustry. In the article Krister Hoaas, regional manager of aquaculture in the west at Sjømat Norge, highlights the groundbreaking impact of our research in shedding light on the progress the production areas have actually made through their joint collaborative efforts. 💡 Read the article now: https://lnkd.in/ghJ6NWyj Mowi Grieg Seafood Lerøy Seafood Group ASA Lingalaks AS Eide AS Bolaks OSLAND HAVBRUK AS #AquacultureIntelligence #FishHealth #Aquaculture #Sustainability #AquacultureResearch #Manolin #Intrafish

Did you miss the excellent entoLIVE with Sally-Ann Spence FRES FLS today? Not to worry, you can catch up on YouTube The Downland and Dung Beetle Project: The Story of Onthophagus joannae Dung beetles are vital to healthy soil systems where livestock are present. They perform a variety of ecosystem services, and are in turn, a food source for other invertebrates, reptiles, birds and mammals. Research has now shown that only a quarter of all UK dung beetle species remain in a state of 'least concern' with the rest considered regionally extinct or threatened. We have already lost species of dung beetles entirely due to extinction in the UK. A previously well-established dung beetle to this area, Onthophagus joannae, was noted to be now regionally rare to regionally extinct. One very small extremely vulnerable population was found to be remaining on the calcareous grassland bank near Berrycroft Hub, inhabiting a very small area of considerably less than half an acre. Hear about how one person's accidental restoration of a large area of downland due to a personal obsession to conserve one particular species of dung beetle. https://lnkd.in/ek8HC3m9

I would encourage folks interested in Ecosystem Based Fishery Management (EBFM) to take a look at the Lenfest Ocean Program's summary findings report: "Moving from A to B: Guidelines for Practical Ecosystem-Based Fishery Management." I really appreciated their linkage between the indicators that we might use to measure key ecosystem properties and management/decision-making. Anyone involved in EBFM recognizes the legal, regulatory, science, and embedded self-interests in current management frameworks that impede moving to EBFM. I think the Working Group on Benchmarks for Ecosystem Assessment at Lenfest have advanced the cause with both a scientific and practical roadmap. https://lnkd.in/ejVPDi9M

Our MBA Study Week in Scotland! Day 1 Highlights: Exploring Marine Science and Aquaculture in Oban Today, we had the incredible opportunity to visit the CGPA Algae Collection at the Scottish Association of Marine Science (SAMS) in Oban. It was fascinating to learn about the diverse variety of algae and the unique conditions each species requires to thrive. Following this, we toured the Barcaldine Scottish Sea Farms Hatchery. Here, we met with Markus, who provided an in-depth explanation of the salmon lifecycle from eggs to adult salmon. Observing the tiny salmon eggs and understanding the importance of precise temperature, oxygen, and nutrition at every growth stage was enlightening. We learned that at the alevin stage, salmon need 2-10 weeks to transition to the fry stage. One of the most intriguing aspects was discovering the various breeds of salmon, each requiring tailored treatments to ensure optimal growth. A huge thanks to SAMS and Scottish Sea Farms for the insightful tours and the valuable knowledge shared! #MarineScience #Aquaculture #SalmonLifecycle #AlgaeResearch #SustainableFarming #ObanExploration #RWU

Recent research by @Christian Lückstädt and Nicolas Greiffenstein in Latin America, which has been published in “Aquafeed: Advances in Processing & Formulation”, has examined the effects of dietary Potassium Diformate (AQUAFORM, ADDCON) on Vannamei shrimp confronting bacterial challenges. This study put in evidence Potassium Diformate's potential benefits in aquaculture, contributing to the sustainable production of shrimp in the region. https://lnkd.in/eb3X5KWy

The jellyfish tourist 💡 “Mysterious jellyfish has experts puzzled” -A small invader and unpredictable occurrence- 🗞️”Mysterious freshwater Peach Blossom Jellyfish spotted in Northern California reservoir” 🚀”Its scientific name is Craspedacusta sowerbyi, but it's commonly referred to as the Peach Blossom Jellyfish. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the freshwater mystery is native to the Yangtze River valley in China. The tiny penny-sized jellyfish have a complex life cycle and can reproduce both sexually and asexually. The freshwater jellyfish has been detected in other parts of the world for decades, but the exact impact on the ecological environments is still under intense study. While the species is harmless to humans, it is unknown how the freshwater jellyfish interact with other lake and pond inhabitants. There is evidence that these jellyfish are a potentially rich source of food for juvenile fish and they could compete with other native species as food.” Related news 📖 1) https://lnkd.in/gmAcscaQ 2)https://lnkd.in/gp6pwiB5 Jellyfish description: https://lnkd.in/gxStr4tn #environment #ecosystem #jellyfish #ecology #marinebiology #species
