New research is pointing the way for the further development
of microalgae-based aquaculture feeds. FIS.com reports on the work of Dartmouth
College, USA professor Anne Kapuscinski, whose findings on aquaculture’s “net
removal of fish” from the oceans made waves earlier this year.
The Fish Site reports today on a proposed aquaculture park
in British Columbia, Canada. The project, which seeks to create over 200
skilled jobs in aquaculture by developing 100 acres of waterfront, is
requesting C$2,500,000 worth of federal funds over the next five years.
Staying in British Columbia, marine biologists in Vancouver
are mystified by a wasting disease causing sea stars to literally disintegrate
on the sea floor. The starfish epidemic follows an unexplained population
growth in the area, with some patches of seabed packed several sea stars deep.
