Global Aquaculture Updates
Microalgal culture is intertwined with bivalve production and is largely dependent on water quality used for their production. The study focused on two species of microalgae, Tisochrysis and Tetraselmis, which are commonly used for oyster feeding.
Culture of Microalgae with Ultrafiltered Seawater
In order to prevent the introduction of contamination (parasites that eat microalgae such as copepods or harmful to shellfish such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses) in microalgae culture and consequently in aquaculture production during feeding, the water used for phytoplankton growth must , process. Tisochrysis cultures showed higher concentrations of microalgae in the ultrafiltered (6 to 30 percent more than the reference culture in control seawater).
From a Feasibility Study to an Industrial Development
The aim of this study was to assess the contribution of aquaculture to Sustainable Development Goals 2 and 12 in terms of the national environmental policy that has governed aquaculture since its inception until today. Adoption of environmental policies by actors in the sector, taking into account the behavior of the various actors involved, as stated in

Effects of Newly Isolated Microalgae on Growth and Survival of the Pacific Oyster ( Crassostrea gigas ) Spats
A total of 31 diets consisting of all possible combinations (in equal amounts) of the isolated microalgae were tested. Salinity is one of these important environmental factors, and its fluctuations affect the survival, growth and potentially the meat quality of the organisms with smal.

These two national institutions are responsible for the country's aquaculture research and development, and operate under the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Development (MFARD).
Seaweed Aquaculture in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is an island in the southeast of the Indian subcontinent between the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. In addition, national and trade annual reports on fisheries and aquaculture performance were collected through the websites of the National Aquaculture Development Authority and the National Aquatic Resources Research and Development Agency to identify the growth of the seaweed industry over the past ten years in Sri Lanka.

Opening of the Third Session of the Intergovernmental Working Group on Aquatic Genetic Resources and Technologies. The third session of the Intergovernmental Technical Working Group on Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Working Group)1 took place from 1 to 3 June 2021.
FAO Members Drive Forward the Agenda on Aquatic Diversity Management
This working group is one of the subsidiary bodies of the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (the Commission).2 Originally formed as an ad hoc body to guide FAO in the preparation of the first ever global assessment of the state of the world's aquatic genetic resources for food and agriculture (the Report), published in 2019, the Working Group was established at the seventeenth session of the Commission in 2019 as a regular sub-body. Its mandate is to advise the Commission on issues specific to the aquatic genetic resources (AqGR) used for food and agriculture and to review FAO's efforts to implement the Commission's work program related to AqGR.3.

In 2009, aquaculture and fisheries production in Kyrgyzstan reached only 200 tons, only 10 percent of production recorded during the 1980s. Revitalizing the country's aquaculture and fisheries production sectors required a holistic approach to sector development, and an approach that focused on providing institutional support to the Department of Fisheries, farmer development and technical training, fisheries research, value chain development, and
Aquaculture Development in Kyrgyzstan (2009–2021)
Institutional support was provided to the Ministry of Fisheries through the development of an Aquaculture and Fisheries Development Strategy in the Kyrgyz Republic, which was formally adopted by the government. Looking ahead, there remains significant scope to further develop the country's aquaculture and fisheries sectors.

Gender Transformative Approaches in Aquaculture: A Tool to Address Root Causes of Gender Inequalities and Discrimination
The first global assessment of the status of aquatic genetic resources (AQGR) for food and agriculture clearly identified that there is currently a paucity of data and information on AqGR (both animal and plant) used in aquaculture systems and on relatives of their wild (FAO). , 2019). Access to information and especially the development of indicators of the status of AqGR is essential for the implementation and monitoring of the GPA.

This article summarizes the status of this information system and identifies some of its future applications among key stakeholders in AqGR. The prototype allows users to perform simple searches of the data available in the system and generate reports.5 The data collection for the prototype was done by species experts.
Moving Forward on Restorative
Based on this definition, a recently published white paper entitled Global Principles for Restorative Aquaculture presented a set of principles to provide guidance and set parameters for the implementation of this practice and to create a common understanding of the nature of positive aquaculture as an important food. manufacturing and restoration solution. The white paper draws on a series of case studies to develop these guidelines and provides plans to help industry and government.
Benefit Nature and People
Restorative aquaculture occurs when commercial or subsistence aquaculture provides direct ecological benefits to the environment, with the potential to generate net positive environmental outcomes. FAO has made increasing efforts to promote restorative aquaculture, including an agenda on aquatic plants at the 11th session of the Subcommittee on Aquaculture, expected to take place in Mexico in the first half of 2022, and the recent publication Seaweeds and Microalgae: a overview for unlocking their potential in global aquaculture development.

Correct classification of fishery and aquaculture products therefore facilitates smooth international transactions and obtaining preferential access, if any. Fishery and aquaculture products have different species and treatments, creating complex layers covering different products.
Classification of Fisheries and Aquaculture Products
A total of 221 countries and territories reported fish and fishery trade activity, exposing about 78 percent of fishery and aquaculture products to competition from international trade. In this regard, FAO GLOBEFISH,1 in collaboration with the World Customs Organization (WCO), developed the publication HS Codes for Fish and Fish Products (GLOBEFISH HS Handbook) to facilitate the classification of fishery and aquaculture products in international trade by improving understanding of the Harmonized System.
