Fish Predation in Bivalve Aquaculture: Impacts and Potential Mitigation Strategies
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.ABSTRACT Fish predation poses a significant challenge to bivalve aquaculture throughout the global range of production. However, the issue remains poorly understood, preventing the advance of effective interventions. Fish predation, especially on mussels in longline culture, can be severe and, in some instances, lead to crop losses of up to 100%, which

Marine and Freshwater Research, 2013 For many fish populations reproductive patterns remain unknown, which often results in inadequate management strategies. Timing and intraspecific variability in the main reproductive traits of ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) were investigated based on microscopic analysis of gonads sampled from NW Spain in 2009–2012. This species displays two main body

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 106, Issue 1, Page 20-32, January 2025.Abstract Sea lice represent a persistent and growing problem, challenging the resilience and growth of the salmon aquaculture industry. In this Norwegian case study, we studied and discuss how the absence of policy instruments directed at stimulating breeding for lice resistance (LR) might be explained.

Amoebic gill disease due to Paramoeba perurans in ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta)
Aquaculture, 2013 AbstractBallan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) is cultured for the use as cleaner fish in Atlantic salmon farms. A low level of mortality was experienced in ballan wrasse broodstock tanks during spawning. Examined moribund and clinically healthy fish showed patchy gill lesions characteristic of amoebic gill disease (AGD).
