Striped catfish from nursery to grow-out: probiotics, digestive enzymes and feed protein and fat in new research

A trial published on 30 October 2026: adding 2 g/kg probiotic to feed containing a digestive enzyme cut FCR in 10 g catfish fingerlings from 1.60 to 1.33 over 90 days; higher doses did no better. In grow-out, 28% protein feed beat 32% on FCR, while 8% fat built up belly fat. Plus two trials on survival.

£2.4 million project seeks solutions to antimicrobial resistance in Vietnam's pangasius farming

Three new studies: healthy seed from the hatchery, the right yeast, and preventing tilapia disease

A summary of three 2026 scientific reviews: shrimp larvae need stage-specific nutrition, yeast must be the right form at the right dose, and tilapia disease prevention starts with daily management.

Immune Support for Fish: Why a Higher Dose Isn't Always Better?

Supporting fish immunity requires the right active ingredient, the right dose, and the right timing for each growth stage. When choosing a supplementation program, farmers should weigh technical evidence, pond conditions, and economic return together.

Francisellosis in tilapia – a new challenge for farmers

Francisella noatunensis is an emerging pathogen, particularly dangerous for intensively farmed tilapia. This is an intracellular bacterium within macrophages, very difficult to eliminate with conventional antibiotics.

White Fungal Disease in Marine Fish: Prevention and Treatment Methods

Many marine aquarium hobbyists or marine fish farmers have faced white spot disease in their aquariums or tanks at least once. This is a common disease, the most challenging to completely eradicate, and causes the most stress to marine fish.

Cobia stocking fry selection and feeding techniques

Besides the advantage of rapid growth, cobia also possesses high adaptability and good disease resistance, making it quite commonly farmed in many coastal provinces of our country. Among these, farming in HDPE cages stands out for its high efficiency.

Salmon evolution leads in land-based salmon production

Concluding 2024 with a new quarterly harvest record of 1,729 tons, Salmon Evolution has led in its field, producing one-third of the total land-based salmon volume globally.

India: Improved giant freshwater prawn and fish polyculture yields high profits

Scientists in India have developed a genetically improved (GI) giant river prawn strain (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) with novel disease resistance, helping to create new income sources for aquaculture farmers in Assam.

Preventing tail rot in pangasius fingerlings

Challenges for pangasius fingerling farmers are currently significant, due to the increasingly polluted water environment, unstable weather patterns, and the growing prevalence of pathogen drug resistance, highlighting the urgent need for new, effective measures to effectively prevent diseases.

Pangasius Fry Rearing Protocol for the First 15 Days for High Survival Rate

Rearing pangasius fry in the first 15 days depends on many factors such as: seed quality, pond water environment, and the farmer's experience in handling situations and care. Especially, at 3 – 5 days old, the survival rate of the fish (high, low, or none) can be determined.
