Aquaculture & Fisheries - WUR

Margot Maathuis recently published an article about habitat variability of small pelagic fish in the Wadden Sea using acoustic data! Click the link to have a look! 🐟#published #waddensea #acoustics #wmr int-res.com/abstracts/MEPS…

Our article is online! A big thank you to Julia Kivit for giving us an interview and helping us raise awareness for our project! You can read the full article here 👇 NB. Only in Dutch #news #spreadtheword #OrangeTags #rays @AFI_WUR ad.nl/vlissingen/vin…

Our last visit for the exchange at Marine Aquaculture Development Centre in Lombok. The centre provides a variety of services in marine aquaculture production. One of these includes the production of pearl oysters which have a high commercial demand #development #community

The last presentation of the day and Donné @DonneMathijssen presented initial results from his tagging research. He uses acoustic and PIT tags to study the movements of migratory fish species within restored waterways in Dutch river systems #Telemetry #rivers @brin_indonesia

Devi Dwiyanti Suryono talked to us about aquatic biodiversity conservation efforts in Indonesia. She highlights the importance of habitat and species protection as well as genetic conservation #conserve #biodiversity @brin_indonesia

Professor Dwi Listyo Rahayu shares her research on exploring Indonesia's marine biodiversity. During her excursions she discovers new species not yet known to science and describes them with international collaborations! #discovery #exploration #newtoscience @brin_indonesia

Ari Setiardhi represented research from Hendrix Genetics. Their research concerns modulation of bacterial communities in shrimp through feed supplementation. Using supplements can control bacterial growth and promote shrimp health #shrimp @brin_indonesia @hendrixgenetics

De Heus was represented today by Suprapto. He presented their shrimp farming strategy where they apply tailored SOPs and use synbiotics as part of their strategy to improve shrimp health and production in Indonesia #shrimp #health @brin_indonesia

Eliza presented her research on the impact of feed composition on waste production and aquaculture system performance. Her findings indicate that sustainability of aquafeed ingredients should be examined from both a fish and system perspective #aquaculture #fish @brin_indonesia

Last night we landed in Lombok and now we're at the National Research and Innovation (BRIN) to co-host the symposium on aquaculture and fisheries: connecting Dutch and Indonesian expertise in aquatic research and industry #education #collaboration @brin_indonesia

Indonesia is the 2nd largest producer of marine products in the world. Aruna supports local fishermen educating them on sustainable fishing practices while buying their fish and exporting it locally and to multiple international markets #education #international @arunaindonesia

The final talk of the day! Eleanor Greenway and Timo Stauedle presented research on skate biology with fisheries management. The aim is to bridge knowledge gaps of these data limited species and improve fisheries management #fisheries #skatesandrays @eleanorgreenway @sithitb

Tom Brandon presents research on a novel model for fish intestinal health. Organoids are microscopic organs and can replace animal experiments. He uses carp intestinal organoids to study underlying mechanisms of immune system responses to stimuli #immunity #organiods @sithitb

An interesting talk from Magdalena Lenny Situmorang discussing modulation of bacterial communities in shrimp through feed supplementation. This research looks into different supplements to control bacterial growth and promote fish health #fishhealth #supplements @sithitb

Haniswita and Geert Wiegertjes present their research on trained immunity in fish. By exposing animals to a stimulus they 'train' the innate immune system. After training, immune cells have a higher metabolism and a more effective immune response. #immunity #adaptation @sithitb

Teddy Pieter discussed how to build sustainable aquaculture with genetically modified shrimp. These shrimp have increased growth and better tolerances to the environment. Genetics informs sustainable breeding for higher productivity with fewer resources @sithitb @hendrixgenetics

Julie Ekasari gave a talk concerning biofloc-based tilapia production. Biofloc encourages healthy aquaculture systems and acts a more efficient food source compared to other feed. This makes the system more productive and improves sustainability #fishfeed #production @sithitb

An interesting and important talk from Dr. Angga Dwiartama on food waste and the value chain in the aquaculture sector. By addressing questions concerning the complexity of the value chain we need to discuss making aquaculture more sustainable #foodwaste #sutainable @sithitb

Kicking off the joint seminar with AFI and the Bandung Institute of Science and Technology discussing Sustainable Aquatic Systems! Follow the link to join us online! #networking #research @sithitb Zoom Meeting itb-ac-id.zoom.us/j/96974410522?… Meeting ID: 969 7441 0522 Passcode: 160674

Day 3: Part 2 Entrepreneurs from eFishery developed new and improved feeding technologies that enables farmers to work more efficiently. eFishery collaborates with multiple stakeholders to aggregate data and refine management techniques #innovation @efishery_ai @gibranhuzaifah
