Innovative Feed Resources in Aquaculture Based on Algal and Insect Biomass

Kapil Deb Nath and Rupak Taye Abstract Aquaculture has become a major contributor to global food production, yet its sustainability is increasingly constrained by dependence on conventional feed ingredients such as fishmeal and fish oil. These resources are finite and associated with ecological concerns, necessitating the development of alternative feed Read more

Enhancing Fish Performance through Functional Feeding Strategies in Aquaculture Systems

Kapil Deb Nath and Rupak Taye Abstract Aquaculture has emerged as one of the fastest growing food production sectors globally. However, increasing intensification has led to several challenges, including disease outbreaks, reduced growth performance and environmental stress. Functional feeds have gained attention as a sustainable nutritional strategy to improve fish Read more

Translucent Post larval Disease (TPD) in Shrimp: An Emerging Challenge for Hatchery Health Management

Anbu kani selvam G, Dhinesh P and Chrisolite B Abstract Translucent Post-larval Disease (TPD) has recently been found as a significant challenge to shrimp aquaculture especially on early post-larval stages of Penaeus vannamei. It is characterised by glass like transparent organism, pale hepatopancreas, empty digestive tract, weak swimming and massive Read more

Papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus (Pseudococcidae: Hemiptera): A serious constraint in papaya cultivation

Atanu Seni AbstractPapaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus Williams and Granara de Willink (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), has emerged as a serious constraint to papaya cultivation in many tropical and subtropical regions. The pest is highly invasive and polyphagous, infesting papaya and several other important crops. Both nymphs and adult females cause damage by Read more

Principles and Practices of Biosafety Levels in Handling Infectious Agents

Surbhi Kashyap, Shyma K. Latheef, Manmohan Singh, Nunna Ratnamrutha, Zikra Fatima Abstract Biosafety is a critical component of laboratory practice when working with infectious microorganisms, as improper handling can lead to laboratory-acquired infections, environmental contamination, and potential public health risks. Biosafety Levels (BSLs) provide a standardized framework for safely handling Read more
