In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore the essential role of zooplankton in early-stage fish and crustacean development. The discussion highlights why these microscopic organisms outperform artificial feeds in digestibility, nutritional density, and sustainability. Learn how bioenrichment, production challenges, and future innovations shape their use in modern aquaculture systems. Listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2025 article titled "Zooplankton in Aquaculture: A Perspective on Nutrition and Cost‐Effectiveness" by Khan, N.S. and Rahman, M.S.

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we take a close look at how predictive modeling can help manage water quality in outdoor red tilapia systems. We break down key parameters, dissolved oxygen, total ammonia, nitrite, and alkalinity, and identify the environmental factors that affect them most. You'll hear how hybrid analytical models offer near-real-time insights that boost system control and support healthier fish. Tune in now on all major platforms!
