Dr. Kevin Fitzsimmons: Fishmeal and Fish Oil Prices and Alternative Ingredients | Ep. 82
Dr. Kevin Fitzsimmons: Fishmeal and Fish Oil Prices and Alternative Ingredients | Ep. 82 Oct 12, 2026 1112 In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, Dr. Kevin Fitzsimmons, from the University of Arizona, explains why rising fishmeal and fish oil costs are accelerating interest in alternative aquafeed ingredients. He discusses algae oils, insect meals, single-cell proteins, animal byproducts, scaling challenges, and commercial adoption while highlighting their importance for sustainable aquacultu
The Hidden Cost of Low-Saturated-Fat Salmon Feeds | Ep. 81
The Hidden Cost of Low-Saturated-Fat Salmon Feeds | Ep. 81 Oct 5, 2026 401 In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we examine how saturated fats and cholesterol influence Atlantic salmon growth, feed efficiency, fillet structure, and pigmentation. As alternative oils become more common, formulations may overlook nutrients essential for metabolic efficiency and product quality. Understanding these interactions can help nutritionists balance scalable ingredients w
Salmon Gut Microorganisms and Biotechnological Potential | Ep. 80
Salmon Gut Microorganisms and Biotechnological Potential | Ep. 80 Sep 28, 2026 390 In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore how native Atlantic salmon gut microorganisms could improve plant-based feed digestibility. We examine carbohydrate breakdown, raffinose utilization, nutrient synthesis, antimicrobial functions, and safety considerations. By using host-derived microorganisms or their enzymes, aquaculture producers could improve nutrient assimilation and e
High Altitude Trout Production Challenges | Ep. 79
High Altitude Trout Production Challenges | Ep. 79 Sep 21, 2026 315 In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we launch a special series exploring aquaculture research and innovation from Chile, sharing practical insights from one of the world’s leading seafood-producing nations.To open the series, we examine rainbow trout production in a recirculating aquaculture system at 3,000 meters in northern Chile. We explore how low dissolved oxygen, limited alkalin
Black Soldier Fly Larvae for Nile Tilapia Production | Ep. 78
Black Soldier Fly Larvae for Nile Tilapia Production | Ep. 78 Sep 14, 2026 384 In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we examine black soldier fly larvae as a sustainable protein source for Nile tilapia production. We explore lipid and mineral challenges, precision feed formulation, and how pond ecology can support nutritional performance. By matching alternative ingredients to production environments, commercial aquaculture could reduce dependence on marine fishme
Hybrid Systems Reshape Salmon Production | Ep. 77
Hybrid Systems Reshape Salmon Production | Ep. 77 Sep 7, 2026 463 In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we examine how hybrid flow-through systems can reshape Atlantic salmon production by enabling stronger growth, improved environmental control, and better fish health. We explore reduced parasite exposure, handling stress, harvest quality, and the physiological trade-offs associated with rapid growth. Discover what these commercial-scale results coul
Glutamine Delivery Under Salmon Heat Stress | Ep. 76
Glutamine Delivery Under Salmon Heat Stress | Ep. 76 Aug 31, 2026 868 In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we examine how thermal stress reshapes Atlantic salmon metabolism and why glutamine supplementation may fail under high temperatures. Rising water temperatures increase energy demands, while rapid nutrient absorption can limit effective utilization. Feeding frequency, amino acid delivery, and intestinal adaptation emerge as critical considerations f
Defending Bivalve Farms From Fish Predation | Ep. 75
Defending Bivalve Farms From Fish Predation | Ep. 75 Aug 24, 2026 415 In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we examine how fish predation affects bivalve production and why suspended farming systems attract predators. Learn how production stages influence crop losses, compare physical and behavioral mitigation strategies, and explore why larger nursery-grown juveniles can improve survival while reducing operational challenges. Listen now on all major plat
Real-World Salmon Blood Health Baselines | Ep. 74
Real-World Salmon Blood Health Baselines | Ep. 74 Aug 17, 2026 483 In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show's Norway Special Series, we explore how commercial blood biomarkers are reshaping proactive health monitoring in Atlantic salmon farming. We examine why real world reference intervals outperform laboratory standards, how sample handling influences diagnostic accuracy, and how large scale data supports better welfare decisions. Discover practical
Protecting Offshore Sea Cages From Predator Damage | Ep. 73
Protecting Offshore Sea Cages From Predator Damage | Ep. 73 Aug 10, 2026 401 In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show's Norway Special Series, we explore how offshore sea cage design can reduce spiny dogfish damage through smarter mortality management, stronger net materials, and species-specific deterrent technologies. We examine why breaches concentrate in deeper cage sections, how operational practices influence risk, and what strategies can improve infrastru
Stronger Feeding Trials in Aquaculture Nutrition | Ep. 72
Stronger Feeding Trials in Aquaculture Nutrition | Ep. 72 Aug 3, 2026 436 In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we discuss what makes experimental feeding trials successful in aquaculture nutrition. The conversation explains how weak replication can create false validation, and why diet design, palatability control, pair feeding, and growth thresholds are essential for reliable results. Listen now on all major platforms!Inspired by the 2025 article titled &#3
Fatty Acid Biomarkers Track Shrimp Diets | Ep. 71
Fatty Acid Biomarkers Track Shrimp Diets | Ep. 71 Jul 27, 2026 371 In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show's Norway Special Series, which explores aquaculture research and innovation from Norway, we examine how fatty acid profiling, including terrestrial markers found in salmon feed, can be used to test whether wild shrimp near salmon farms are feeding on aquaculture waste. Learn why lipid profiling supports environmental monitoring and strengthens su
