Some of these issues will hopefully get an airing in less than a month at the 2022 World Aquatic Health Conference – in Pretoria, South Africa (December 3-7, 2022) and hosted by the @UPTuks and The World Aquatic Veterinary Association. #aquaculture #shrimp #tilapia #disease

[ThinkAqua @thinkaquaorg]

At ThinkAqua we know that disease can be a very significant disruptor, whether you’re a large or small-scale aquaculture producer. Ponds and cages are open to the elements and disease can enter at any time. #aquaculture #shrimp #tilapia #disease

[ThinkAqua @thinkaquaorg]

Tilapia producers often have little more than hope that disease will not strike, so we are creating country briefs for a selection of African countries about who to contact. #aquaculture #tilapia #disease

[ThinkAqua @thinkaquaorg]

Excited to announce a new project in #Uganda looking at a novel feeding approach for #tilapia in ponds. With our partners Rural #Aquaculture Development we are exploring feeding #blacksoldierfly to tilapia. Project funded by @KTNUK. More info @timmesseder: https://t.co/69eY7qaaZe

This week @PoundsAlexandra in the spotlight - our Research Lead focussing on how fish (and other aquatic animals) can be used to enhance global food and nutrition security. Recent paper: https://t.co/uvXeXGkm2T #aquaculture #fisheries #foodsystems

[ThinkAqua @thinkaquaorg]

This strengthened picture of #disease occurrence is allowing farmers and regulators to take earlier action to address challenges. The aim is that such a service can be replicated across Indonesia and provide an effective early warning system. #shrimp #aquaculture

In Banyuwangi, East Java, the #farm management tech innovator @jalaiot is piloting the delivery of an on-farm, real time diagnostic service to enable farmers to have a clearer picture of the #health of their #shrimp. Photo: Christine Kombong from @jalaiot

[ThinkAqua @thinkaquaorg]

@jalaiot – and @thinkaquaorg other Banyuwangi partners (@ConservationOrg, YKI and YSAI) – also deliver biosecurity advice and training to farmers to reduce disease risks in the first place, in support of the work by government agencies and #feed companies. #shrimp #aquaculture
