Every week, Eco India brings you stories that inspire you to build a cleaner, greener and better tomorrow.

Around the world irrigation, drought and sea level rise are increasing the salinity of the soil – and stunting crop productivity. One of India’s worst affected states is Punjab, known as the country’s granary. There, the problem is compounded by waterlogging. To help maintain farmers' livelihoods, scientists are replacing wheat fields with ponds, to farm an animal normally found hundreds of kilometers away – in the sea.

As phyto- and seaweed aquaculture develop I’m increasingly wary of invasive species. However, knowing so little about the ocean despite being within walking distance of a major bay I don’t know if the concern is irrational or not. Thoughts? Or better, facts?

India things!

Recently, the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying has discussed the technical challenges in the implementation of the Aquaculture Crop Insurance scheme for Shrimp and Fish farming under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) scheme.

To mitigate the risks faced by aqua farmers, NFDB (National Fisheries Development Board), which is the nodal agency for implementation of PMMSY, proposeed to implement the Aquaculture Crop Insurance scheme.

The Scheme aims to provide basic cover for brackish water shrimp and fish on pilot basis for one year in the selected States of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Odisha.

The term aquaculture broadly refers to the cultivation of aquatic organisms in controlled aquatic environments for any commercial, recreational or public purpose.

The breeding, rearing and harvesting of plants and animals takes place in all types of water environments including ponds, rivers, lakes, the ocean and man-made “closed” systems on land.

Exploring the Importance of Good Gut Health in Aquaculture

In the world of aquaculture, where the well-being and growth of fish are paramount, an often-overlooked factor plays a crucial role: gut health. Just as in humans, the digestive system of fish is a complex and intricate network that significantly impacts their overall health and performance. In this blog, we will delve into the importance of maintaining good gut health in aquaculture and how it contributes to the success of fish farming operations, with a special focus on the innovative solutions provided by Skretting.

The gut serves as a foundation for fish health, as it is responsible for efficient digestion, nutrient absorption, and the prevention of various diseases. A healthy gut ensures that the fish can effectively utilize the nutrients from their feed, leading to optimal growth, improved immunity, and enhanced overall vitality.

A well-functioning gut is essential for optimal digestive efficiency. It allows fish to break down and absorb nutrients from their feed more effectively, ensuring that they receive the essential proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals necessary for growth and development. Proper digestion also helps reduce feed wastage and the release of undigested nutrients into the environment, minimizing the ecological footprint of aquaculture.

A robust gut health promotes a strong immune response in fish. The gut houses a significant portion of the fish's immune system, containing specialized cells that defend against harmful pathogens and diseases. A healthy gut microbiota, the diverse community of beneficial bacteria living in the fish's digestive tract, plays a crucial role in modulating the immune system, preventing the colonization of harmful bacteria, and supporting the fish's overall disease resistance.

In aquaculture, feed conversion ratio (FCR) is a key indicator of efficiency and profitability. Good gut health directly influences FCR by enhancing nutrient utilization and reducing the energy expenditure required for digestion. Fish with a healthy gut can convert feed into flesh more efficiently, resulting in reduced feed costs and improved economic viability of aquaculture operations.

Maintaining a balanced gut microbiota is vital for fish health. Factors such as stress, improper nutrition, and suboptimal water quality can disrupt the delicate balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut, leading to dysbiosis or an imbalance in the gut microbial community. Dysbiosis can negatively impact digestion, nutrient absorption, and disease resistance, ultimately affecting the growth and overall well-being of the fish.

Skretting, a leading provider of aquaculture feed, recognizes the significance of gut health in fish farming. They offer a range of specialized feed solutions that are designed to support optimal gut function and overall fish health. Skretting's feeds are formulated with carefully selected ingredients and additives, including probiotics and prebiotics, to promote a healthy gut microbiota and ensure efficient digestion and nutrient absorption.

Skretting's commitment to sustainability and innovation is evident in their feed solutions. They continuously research and develop new feed formulations that not only improve fish performance but also minimize environmental impact. By optimizing the nutritional composition and incorporating alternative protein sources, such as plant-based proteins and insect meal, Skretting contributes to a more sustainable and responsible aquaculture industry.

In aquaculture, good gut health is essential for the success and sustainability of fish farming operations. By prioritizing efficient digestion, supporting immune function, optimizing feed conversion, and maintaining a balanced gut microbiota, aquaculturists can enhance the overall well-being and growth of their fish. Skretting's innovative feed solutions play a crucial role in promoting good gut health and providing aquaculturists with the tools they need to thrive in a sustainable manner. With a focus on excellence and environmental stewardship, Skretting is at the forefront of advancing aquaculture feed for a healthier and more prosperous industry.

Understanding Aquaculture Probiotics In Detail

Aquaculture probiotics are a group of beneficial bacteria that are used in the aquaculture industry to enhance the health and growth of farmed aquatic animals. These probiotics have been gaining popularity in recent years as a natural and sustainable solution to improve the overall health and well-being of farmed fish and other aquatic animals. 

In this article, we will explore what aquaculture probiotics are, their benefits, how they are used in the aquaculture industry and where you can find all kinds of aquaculture products. 

These are added to the diets or culture water of farmed aquatic animals to promote their health and well-being. These microorganisms include various strains of beneficial bacteria, yeast, and other microorganisms that are found naturally in the gut of fish and other aquatic animals. 

When added to the diet or culture water of farmed aquatic animals, these probiotics help to improve the balance of beneficial bacteria in their digestive systems, which can improve their overall health and growth.

Benefits of aquaculture probiotics

There are many benefits to using aquaculture probiotics in the farming of aquatic animals. One of the main benefits is that they help to promote the growth and development of farmed fish and other aquatic animals. This is because the probiotics help to break down the feed more efficiently, which means that the fish can absorb more nutrients from their food. This, in turn, leads to faster growth and development.

Another benefit of aquaculture probiotics is that they can help to improve the overall health of farmed fish and other aquatic animals. This is because probiotics help to maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in their gut, which can help to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria that can cause disease. In addition, probiotics can help to boost the immune system of farmed fish and other aquatic animals, making them less susceptible to disease and other health problems.

Using aquaculture probiotics in the aquaculture industry

Aquaculture probiotics are used in a variety of ways in the aquaculture industry. One of the most usual ways is to add them to the feed of farmed fish and other aquatic animals. This is typically done by mixing the probiotics with the feed before it is given to the fish. In some cases, the probiotics may also be added to the water in the fish tanks or ponds.

Another way that aquaculture probiotics are used in the aquaculture industry is to add them directly to the culture water. This can be done using multiple methods, including spraying the probiotics onto the water surface or adding them to the water filtration system. By adding the probiotics directly to the culture water, they can help to improve the overall health of the aquatic animals and promote faster growth and development.

Choosing the right aquaculture probiotics

When choosing aquaculture probiotics, it is important to select the right strains of bacteria and other microorganisms for the specific species of aquatic animal being farmed. Different strains of probiotics are more effective for different species of fish and other aquatic animals, so it is important to do your research and choose the right probiotics for your needs.

In addition to choosing the right strains of probiotics, it is also important to select high-quality probiotics that are proven to be effective. Look for probiotics that have been tested in scientific studies and have been shown to improve the health and growth of farmed fish and other aquatic animals.

Menagerie

hey hey people been a minute but I finally got some time to write out some stuff so here's the final civilization on remnant! now presenting

The Menagerie Company

Mega-corporation: This government is a form of plutocratic oligarchy, where the entire state has been organized as a massive commercial enterprise overseen by a board of directors.

ethics (the broad strokes of the culture)

fanatic xenophile: If there ever was such a thing as an absolute moral imperative, it would be to explore the cosmos and embrace all within it. We were never meant to journey alone.

Egalitarian: Any society that does not embrace equality between its members - where an individual can rise to any position with enough hard work - is not only deeply unfair, but ultimately counterproductive.

civics (how those ethics are applied)

Private Prospectors: Building better worlds is hazardous work, but this Megacorporation relies on private prospectors to chart and establish footholds on promising planets.

Franchising: This megacorporation relies heavily on franchising. Subsidiaries share a greater cut of their profits with their corporate overlord, in exchange for a license to market their goods under established brands.

Anglers: Adept at utilizing nature's bounty, this society provides for itself a stable influx of sustenance and economic value.

(bonus civic just cause i like em)

Catalytic Recyclers: This megacorporation seeks to maximize profits by recycling excess organic matter into advanced resources suitable for Grim-proof structures. (they turn fish into metal via chemistry)

the menagerie company was originally a trading company from vale, while on an exploration of the south anima sea they stumbled across a new species, vale being vale sought mainly to trade with these people their young warriors in the federal army often being sent south to protect the tribes of the area and while minstral, atlas and vaccuo hated the new species the faunas grew to love humanity as a whole since their only interactions were basically with the Menagerie company who over time subsumed and was taken over by the native tribes.

each major city is considered it's own subsidiary of the overall company though only those who invest are on the board of directors, that said the valen values of equality never went away and everyone is at least given the opportunity to rise though most end up mainly just being cogs in the machine, that being said they get paid well and have plenty of lessure time so most don't mind, with a robust social security system to ensure that even the unemployed remain a functioning part of the economy the faunas are the closest thing to a utopia in remnant, it's a shame the valens prefer their constant battles and the other humans don't wanna join the corporate culture of menagerie.

basically, the East India company if they were unabashedly the good guys.

menagerie is famous for it's fishing industry who through a chemical process known only to the faunas creates 90% of vale's metals for their roaring war economy. as well as producing most of the seafood in the world.

private fleets protect their aquacultures with charismatic pirates and privateers leading the various fleets of the area. these are mercenary companies given leave to hunt in the waters around menagerie and sell whatever spoils they gather. most of the worlds navies come from menagerie as well.

when the menagerie company opens a new subsidiary they typically do so via investments in local tribes rather than sending out new settlers, though they do so occasionally and especially when moving to one of the smaller islands around the world. but when heading inland through menagerie? yeah just invest in the local tribes and build them up into subsidiaries worth a damn from the comfort of your own home.

the white fang are faunas supremisists who think that while humans are good creatures the fact that only one of their counties actually functions without making everyone miserable means that clearly they need to be put under faunas management. it's not humanities fault that they're so bad at this but they need to be protected.

as for the rest of menagerie and faunas as a whole? human fetishists, they all believe that normal humans are good moral people who only want to help but they're unfortunate enough to have evolved to dominate the area around them. so long as they're not pressured they are inherently good and will only do good things. it's the grimm that corrupt them. also every faunas dreams of bedding a human.

like i said, human fetishists, that xenophile ethic isn't just for show. that being said due to social pressures men tend to die more often then females (mainly due to grimm and carrying levels of aggression chemicals from animal traits. you don't make good decisions when you're young and you have instincts to posture or outright charge at the beasts of extinction.) as a result marriage isn't a major thing to them and children are raised communally by women (typically child care is a job paid for by your local subsidiary) with men mainly acting as role models while out doing their jobs or fighting grimm perpetuating the cycle. this is a problem as while they can breed with humans the only ones who want to are valens and valens are big into marriage and only having one mate.

it's really weird to the faunas.

blake is a human fetishist who got the opportunity to train in vale thanks to her mother's position of CEO for a local subsidiary and board member of the menagerie company. with her father leading the belladonna company, a group of privateers who hunt pirates and grimm for profit.

she's determined to get at least 3 human lovers while she's studying maybe one of them will be a guy if she's lucky! (poor sun keeps trying but she's not into faunas, though don't count our boy out yet he survived being a slave in vaccuo, he don't give up easily)

again good guy east India company but this time the natives are racist against the colonizers.

Round 3: Match 39

[Image ID: Two pictures of gulls. The left is a Saunders's gull taking flight. The right is a great black-backed gull standing on sand. /End ID]

The Saunders's gull (Chroicocephalus saundersi) is found in eastern Asia. They are the second smallest gull after the little gull, typically measuring 29-32 cm (11-13 in) in length and 87-91 cm (33-36 in) in wingspan. They have a black hood, white eye crescents, white body, pale grey wings, narrow black tail band, reddish-orange legs, and short black bill. The underside of their wings have black patches at the tips with white leading edges. They feed on mudskippers, crabs, fish, and worms, and steal food from other species of birds. Due to their declining population and dependence on saltmarshes dominated by seepweed, which are being drained for aquaculture, they are listed as vulnerable by the IUCN.

The great black-headed gull (Ichthyaetus ichthyaetus) breeds in southern Russia and Mongolia and migrates to winter in the eastern Mediterranean, Arabia, and India. They are the third-largest gull in the world, measuring 55-72 cm (22-28 in) in length and 142-170 (56-67 in) in wingspan. They have a black head, white eye crescents and underparts, grey back and wings with black tips and white "mirrors," and yellow legs and bill with red and black tip. They eat fish, crustaceans, insects, and even small mammals.
