Hope for new vaccine against white spotResearchers for the US agriculture research service (ARS) are workingon a preventative vaccination for the parasitic infection known as whitespot.

The aim is to create a vaccinethat can be delivered in with the food or direct to the water. A new vaccine

would not pose a threat to the environment like the treatment used todaywhich can be harmful environmentally. Read more...

Chef says 'no' frankensh debate goes onChef Rick Moonen is against genetically engineered sh; he does notbelieve that the new sh is safe, as has been suggested by AquabountyTechnologies. His concerns range from, if they escaped what damagewould be done to the wild populations to the fact that there is no planto label them in grocery stores. He also worries that this could cause alarger demand for smaller species to be used as feed for these franken-sh. Read more...

Farmed sh destroy wild shAn essay found in this weeks Conservation Biology Journal, suggest thatfarmed sh are causing wild populations to decline. He suggests that ahigh density of caged farmed sh, promotes infection that affects wildpopulations near the sh farm. Sea lice is one example that impacts shfarms and also impacts the wild populations, even though the farmedsh survive the wild populations suffer. And if the sea-caged system isoverstocked this can lead to extinction of the wild stocks near by. So dofarmed sh destroy wild sh? Read more...

Future for Scotlands Mussel farmingA recent study commissioned by the Scottish government, into the futureof mussel farming in Scotland.

5,800 tonnes in 2008. However, compared to Europe the UKs productionof mussels remains low and there is a substantial scope for increasedproduction without impacting the market supply. Read more...
