The FEAP has issued a critical position paper outlining the urgent need for a coordinated European strategy to manage the soaring population of the Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis). As FEAP's statement highlights, daily fish predation by cormorants exceeds 1,000 tonnes, causing devastating losses to fish farms. Additionally, indirect negative effects include stress, reduced welfare, and diminished production efficiency. Find the full FEAP position paper here: https://lnkd.in/e_58P7Xr

🌊 🌊 Two misPeces.com news articles to celebrate Black Friday today 🌊 🌊 ⏺ Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Applied to Enhance Fish Farming Production Researchers from Universidade do Porto and IPMA Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera have developed a pioneering methodology that uses machine learning algorithms to classify malnutrition in fish based on histological biomarkers of the intestine. This new approach not only standardises the process of identifying malnutrition in fish but also makes it more accessible to operators without specialised training in histology. This methodology has the potential to significantly transform how fish health is monitored and managed in aquaculture facilities, offering a quicker and more cost-effective way to detect nutritional problems before they severely impact fish populations.

🌊🌊🌊 Boosting the aquaculture with natural and circular supplements 🌊🌊🌊 ⏺ The polyphenols hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol, extracted from olive oil by-products, have been shown to enhance growth, health, and gene regulation in seabream due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. ⏺ A study conducted by researchers at the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale dell’Umbria e delle Marche “Togo Rosati”, Departamento di Medicina Veterinaria dell'Università degli Studi di Perugia, Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale delle Venezie, found that supplementing gilthead seabream feed with polyphenol extract Stymon Phen Feed manufactured by STYMON Natural Products PC significantly improved growth performance. ⏺ Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eaRVmpZR   Martina Torricelli, Andrea Felici, raffaella branciari, Massimo Trabalza Marinucci, Roberta Galarini, Massimo Biagetti, Amedeo Manfrin, Laura Boriani, Eleonora Radicchi, Carla Sebastiani, Marcella Ciullo, David Ranucci, Francesco Agnetti

nvestigadores de la Universidad de Córdoba han identificado los mecanismos genéticos mediante los cuales las #microalgas producen #auxina, una hormona vegetal clave en el crecimiento y la comunicación química con bacterias. Este hallazgo, centrado en el alga modelo Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, revela que la enzima L-aminoácido oxidasa (LAO1) convierte el triptófano en auxina en el espacio periplásmico del alga. El descubrimiento abre nuevas posibilidades para desarrollar bioestimulantes a base de algas que promuevan una agricultura más sostenible.

🌊🌊🌊 🇪🇺 European consumers are finding it increasingly difficult to make informed choices about the food they purchase due to unclear and inadequate labelling, which can sometimes even be misleading. This is the conclusion of a recent report by the European Court of Auditors on food labelling. The issues raised are equally applicable to aquaculture products, which often face similar challenges regarding transparency and consumer trust in sustainability certifications. ⏺ Read here the full article: https://lnkd.in/ed6PwqCb
