While aquaculture may have adopted – or adapted – a number of medical procedures that were initially developed for human health, the use of surrogate broodstock is still very much in its infancy. However, as Greg Lutz’s new feature explains, transplanting gonadal stem cells – sometimes of different species – into sterile broodstock has been shown to produce viable offspring...

"Recirculating aquaculture systems (RASs) are fiendishly complicated – as evidenced by their regular failures. As Matej Leskovec’s new article highlights, despite the impressive array of technology at RAS operators’ disposal, their performance is essentially dictated by the health of the bacterial populations in their biofilters – if this fluctuates, then so does the health of the fish." We explore this and other pressing topics in the world of aquaculture in this week's newsletter.
