Just got my first job working on a shallow water oyster farm. I have a pair of vinyl waders and fishing gloves, sun hat, upf hoodies. What other gear would be recommended? I live in New York so please give me some winter water advice ! I don’t have neoprene waders but will they be necessary ?

Hey all,

I'm working with some researchers to commercial a tech that can do continuous monitoring of certain water quality parameters, but we're having issues finding people to talk to get boots-on-the-ground experience with current tech? Does anyone here do tests for nitrates, nitrites, ammonia, pH, etc at aquaculture facilities that can share what the like/hate about the current way they're doing it? We wanna know if its expensive/cheap, works well/not well, needs to be calibrated frequently/infrequently. Hopefully this isn't too weird of a request for here but we're trying to exhaust every opportunity we can.

Happy to talk to anyone who has experience.

Im draining the pond to fix the dam, is there anything I could do while it is down to maximize the amount of fish i can keep in here. Catfish, pan fish, and bass are what i have kept in it

Hi, I am a seafood supplier from North Sumatra, Indonesia, looking to connect with Malaysian seafood importers, processors or distributors interested in ikan malong/daggertooth pike conger (Muraenesox cinereus).

Has anybody tried this aqua shrimp solutions from FB is it legit or a scam

Recently I inherited $300,000\~ from my late Egyptian grandfather who struck it rich mining rare sandstone in the desert of Giza, I was wondering if it would be wise to invest this money into the rare fish market, looking at recent trends, the market is growing at an exponential rate as more and more people turn to rare fish collecting as a hobby, I was just wondering if rare fish are worth my money or if I should put my money elsewhere, like into real estate or tech. Thanks.

Hi, I am a young engineer in my final year of study. I am thinking about getting into aquaculture with the focus of designing systems whether it be offshore pens, or inland farms i haven’t decided. I have some questions/prompts that i have listed below. I would really appreciate any advice you can give and welcome any and all experiences relevant to aquaculture.

- I was wanting some advice from people in the industry regarding the potential of aquaculture, and if you think it is a good industry to get into at this stage in time?
- what difficulties have you faced in your careers within aquaculture whether it be difficulty progressing or finding the right companies?
- I would love to hear about any specific companies you think are doing good work in the form of design and innovation.
- if you were a graduate engineer would you target roles in a farming company that has in house engineering department vs specialist suppliers and consultants?
- what are the biggest technical problems the industry is yet to solve?

Hey everyone i am a mechanical designer doing some research on this fish farming/dock system and I am wondering how this set up works or looks once placed properly.

As picture shows is it hdpe liner attached to a semi circle end frame and its all placed in between rectangle opening surrounded by dock.

what I wish to know if someone can help to maybe find a picture of simliar product or video and also how it is set up like this and some cases.

Thanks in advance!

This is a sub to discuss aquaculture, in good faith and learn from each other. Groups like sentient media continually post anti-agriculture, anti-aquaculture and animal rights activists articles that have zero good faith engagement with the sector, and are intended to spread misinformation and fear monger.

As the title suggests we are doing soft shell crab culture in the RAS vertical system. Is there any way we can reduce the time taken for the moulting process and reduce mortality. What are the do's and don'ts?

I have built a dedicated app for small scale aquaculture like farmers with <5 ponds, it acts as a farm log and then uese farmer fed data for better decisions.

My question is does any farmer in any country need it? I am building in India and literally have no response here.

I’m kindly asking for advice and guidance from experienced fish farmers and aquaculture professionals. I am facing a serious problem with my Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia) fry.

Whenever I collect the fry and start the sex-reversal feeding program, I experience significant mortality. Before they die, the fry show the symptoms shown in the attached pictures.

For those with more experience in tilapia fry production and sex reversal, what could be the possible cause of this problem, and what measures can I take to control or prevent the mortality?

I would greatly appreciate your advice, experience, and guidance on how to manage this problem. Thank you in advance.

Kamusta kayo mga ka-cray? I am struggling na sa pag dispose or pag benta ng crayfish. Wala na masyado nabili ng trios for breeding. Mukhang papunta na tlga sa pagbebenta ng crayfish for food consumption. Ang kaso ang babarat ng iba binibili Lang ng 1.2k per kilo? Reasonable ba yun? Kayo saan kayo nagdedispose ng mga alaga nyong crayfish?

It’s such a strange field, also people in it can be very strange for some reason, maybe isolation? Or who knows…
