The Aquaculture Podcast Show • by Wisenetix

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore how poor water quality and environmental stress can weaken Nile tilapia's immunity and increase severe parasitic infections in commercial aquaculture systems. We examine the impact of ammonia, low oxygen, bird vectors, tissue damage, and optimized praziquantel treatments that improve fish survival and food safety. Climate-driven parasite spread and farm management strategies are also discussed. Listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2024 article titled "Evaluation of praziquantel effectiveness in treating Nile tilapia clinostomid infections and its relationships to fish health and water quality" by Mahdy, Olfat A., et al.

“Environmental hygiene failures initiated a biological cascade that enabled parasites to invade, establish, and progressively destroy essential fish organ systems.”

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore how water temperature directly changes protein utilization, growth efficiency, immunity, and water quality in Nile tilapia production. Under thermal stress, excessive dietary protein can increase ammonia output, oxidative stress, and metabolic inefficiency instead of improving biomass performance. We also examine precision feeding strategies that better align nutrition with environmental conditions. Listen now on all major platforms!

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore how plant-based diets, zinc absorption, and water temperature influence nutrient uptake in Atlantic salmon. Modern feed strategies can support sustainable production without disrupting mineral utilization, but nutrient timing changes dramatically throughout digestion. Rising ocean temperatures may also reshape how fish process essential nutrients in commercial systems. Listen now on all major platforms!

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore how nanotechnology improves curcumin and olive oil delivery in whiteleg shrimp diets. Poor bioavailability often limits phytogenics, but nanoemulsions enhance dispersion, absorption, and cellular uptake. Strong gains in feed efficiency, growth, immunity, and hepatopancreas health are observed, alongside improved economic returns. Practical implications for intensive systems highlight scalable innovation. Listen now on all major platforms!
