Rainbow trout farming is one of the largest finfish aquaculture industries in the U.S.
We applied the model as initialized to the Northeast U.S. Large Marine Ecosystem finfish community.
Silver carp accounts for the largest biomass production of any finfish aquaculture species in the world.
This larger offset, compared with the previously observed ∼2‰ offset for finfish consumers, may result from the larger and more variable proportion of total Hg that is inorganic Hg in shellfish compared to finfish.
The A. nobilis study system provided for a new appreciation of the complexity of seasonal broadcast spawning dynamics in a relatively large breeding aggregation of a pelagic marine finfish (albeit in a closed space).
As compared with other marine species such as finfish, proteins derived from crustacean generally contain larger amounts of arginine, glutamic acid, glycine, and alanine; this makes crustacean proteins more palatable than finfish proteins.
To characterize populations with higher relative dietary As, groups consuming relatively large amounts of As-containing foods such as shellfish, seaweed, finfish, rice, and chicken require assessment.
The development of offshore IMTA requires the identification of environmental and economic risks and benefits of such large-scale systems, compared with similarly-scaled monocultures of high trophic-level finfish in offshore systems.
The 2007 Cosco Busan spill oiled shorelines near the shallow-water breeding habitat of the West Coast's largest population of Pacific herring -- which supports the last remaining commercial finfish fishery in San Francisco Bay.
Atlantic salmon has become an important cultured finfish in Scandinavia, Scotland, the Canadian Maritime Provinces, and Maine, where the species is grown in large-scale fish pens in open-ocean waters.
