On Sustainable Aquaculture

Authored by Philippe Lebailly

Aquaculture is essential to meet future demand for aquatic products. While aquaculture has expanded to supply domestic and export markets, issues concerning the limited capacity to promote and guide its sustainable development, in fresh, brackish, and marine environments [1]. World fish and aquaculture production is projected to grow at an annual rate of 1.5% during the 2016-2025 periods (a slowdown relative to the 2.5% annually of the previous decade). Accordingly, levels of production are expected to reach 196 MT in 2025. Most of fish production's growth will take place in Asia. The majority of evolution will come from aquaculture, which will surpass total capture fisheries in 2021. Despite the increasing role of aquaculture in total fish supply, the capture sector is expected to remain dominant for a number of species, and vital for domestic and international food security. Aquaculture will continue to be one of the fastest growing food sectors despite its average annual growth rate slowing from 5.4% in the previous decade to 3.0% in the period 2016-25.Much of the increase is expected in freshwater species. In 2025, fish originating from aquaculture is expected to represent 57% of fish consumed worldwide [2].

Bioluminescence in Fishes: Diversity and Functions- Juniper Publishers

                  Juniper Publishers -  Journal of Oceanography Introduction Bioluminescence is a amazing biological phenomen, which can be found in terrestrial and oceanic environments. Numerous bioluminescent taxa were described from the marine environment [ 1 - 2 ]. Bioluminescence is especially abundant in the deep-sea. The majority of luminescent taxa are invertebrate animals. In contrast to the high diversity in invertebrates, vertebrates lack bioluminescent light organs, with the exception of an amazing diversity in teleosts and some shark species. A recent paper reported that bioluminescence appeared in ray finned fishes in 27 independent evolutionary events [ 3 ]. Bioluminescent light is generated in spezialized light organs based on a oxyidation of a light emitting luciferine in the presence of oxygene and the enzyme luciferin [ 1 , 4 ]. Most of the bioluminescent species produce blue green light in the wavelength range around Xmax ~475nm [ 1 ]. Luminescence in fishes c

SDS-PAGE Electrophoresis of Ocypode rotundata Miers, 1882 and O. ceratophthalma Pallas, 1772 using Muscle Tissue along the Coast of Pakistan

  Oceanography & Fisheries Open Access Journal Juniper Publishers Authored by Sahir Odhano Abstract Electrophoretic studies for the identification of ghost crabs (Ocypode rotundata and Ocypode ceratophthalma) using the SDS-PAGE were performed on protein patterns along the Sandspit coastal areas. The muscle tissues were used to estimate the molecular mass of proteins through SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. Electrophoretic settings were standardized to use 10% acrylamide resolving gel and 5% acrylamide stacking gel. A discontinuous buffer system was used following the protocols of Laemmli (1970) to observe the relative mobility and molecular weight of proteins. In O. rotundata total of 6 protein bands were resolved among them band-5 was found similar in size to the marker used (BSA = 66 kDa MW). Whereas in O. ceratophthalma total of 8 protein bands were resolved among them three protein bands (band-6, band-7, and band-8) were found to be higher in size than the molecular mar

Environmental Perception of Recreational Fishers in Urban Beaches

  Oceanography & Fisheries Open Access Journal Juniper Publishers Authored by:  Jacqueline S Silva-Cavalcanti Abstract Recreational fishers depend on the good quality of those environments. The assessment of the environmental perception of social actors who show a sense of belonging to the landscape can better describe the impacts on the environment. This study aimed to assess the recreational fishers’ perception of the environmental quality in four urban beaches. 170 recreational fishers agreed to participate in the research. They were required to respond to questions about their fishing strategies and their perception of the environmental quality of the beaches and the possible impacts on the fishing activity. Based on the responses presented, a description of both local fishing activities made, as well as an analysis of the perception of the beaches’ environmental quality for fishers. On average, the recreational fisher ones have been working for 16.2 years. Pollu
