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!

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we break down why “everyday loss” can quietly erase production, using Norwegian Atlantic salmon baseline mortality data. Key drivers include temperature and salinity stress, geographic disease pressure, transfer timing, and the smolt paradox. Most importantly, sea lice control methods can nearly double mortality by adding physical stress and weakening protection against opportunistic microorganisms. Listen now on all major platforms!
