Flowerhorn cichlids, a human-bred hybrid fish, have escaped into Lake Sampaloc in the Philippines, threatening native wildlife like the endangered silver perch. Scientists warn the invasive species, thriving in polluted conditions, poses ecological damage and potential health risks from parasites to local residents who consume them.
Human-bred flowerhorn cichlids, an ornamental fish, have invaded Lake Sampaloc in the Philippines, threatening native species like the endangered ayungin. Escaping from breeding facilities during a typhoon, they thrive in polluted waters, raising ecological and potential parasitic health concerns.
Scientists at NTU in Singapore developed a process converting discarded shrimp shells into carbon-negative hydrogen fuel, aquaculture protein, and calcium carbonate. This lab-scale technology aims to reduce waste and offer cleaner alternatives to fossil-based energy and industrial materials, though commercial scaling faces efficiency and economic hurdles.
Scientists in Singapore have developed a process to convert shrimp shells and other organic waste into hydrogen fuel, protein for aquaculture feed, and calcium carbonate for construction. The technology, developed at Nanyang Technological University, aims to be carbon-negative by removing more CO2 than it produces, offering a dual solution for waste reduction and cleaner energy.
Sanya, Hainan is boosting its fisheries sector through deep-sea aquaculture, advanced breeding, and intelligent offshore platforms. The industry is a key economic driver, with output reaching 2.84 billion yuan in 2025 and significant growth in marine aquaculture.
China’s coastal aquaculture ponds are shrinking due to environmental policies while India’s are expanding at the fastest rate of any country, according to a new bird’s-eye view of fish farms worldwide. The conclusions are based on a fresh dataset compiled from millions of satellite snapshots of coastal aquaculture around the world in 2022. From 1990 to 2016, the global pond area for aquaculture expanded rapidly. After 2017, the overall area declined, but changes varied between countries. The...
