Norwegian feed supplier EWOS has developed sophisticated health feeds that support farmed salmon through recovery from inflammatory diseases like pancreas disease (PD), heart skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) and cardio-myopathy syndrome (CMS).
Since 2006, EWOS has undertaken an intensive research programme to assess the effects of dietary modulation upon farmed salmon that have been challenged by these viruses.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently presented research that gives the precise levels of dissolved oxygen needed to keep pond-raised catfish alive and growing.
Prior to this new research, fish farmers relied on daily observations to determine if fish were getting enough oxygen.
USA based Phibro Animal Health Corp. announced last week that it has acquired the aquaculture assets of AquaVet Ltd., a technical consulting and contract research organization focused on the global aquaculture market.
Dr. Ra'anan Ariav, founder and chief executive officer of AquaVet, will join Phibro as vice president of Phibro Aquaculture.
