Big changes are afoot at AZaquaculture!  We are getting ready to launch an entirely new website packed with information and resources for aquarium hobbyists.  Some of the improvements include:

  • Many new articles on marine aquaculture filled with the latest research
  • Enhanced laboratory services
  • A wider selection of goods and starter cultures for home aquaculture
  • More creature features, emphasizing care and reproduction of aquatic organisms

While we transition to our new site and a new physical location, we will be temporarily suspending sales to the public, and will not be taking on new commercial clients.  Rest assured, AZaquaculture will be back bigger and better than ever in July 2011 ready to serve your aquaculture needs!

Arizona Aquaculture Solutions llc is a marine aquaculture research and service laboratory.
Besides producing aquacultured corals and tank-raised wholesale clownfish, gobies, seahorses, and dottybacks, Arizona Aquaculture Solutions also develops novel technologies for the culture and genetic characterization of marine invertebrates including corals, ornamental shrimp, snails and sand-bed organisms.
 

Located in the University of Arizona Science and Technology Park at the Arizona Center for Innovation, the Arizona Aquaculture Solutions laboratory specializes in providing advanced water-chemistry services and pathogen detection.  We also develop vaccine designs and pathogen control systems for use in re-circulating aquaculture facilities.

Spawning and Rearing the Sonora Goby, Gobiosoma chiquita
Part 1-Species Characteristics, Natural History, and Spawning Conditions

It probably won’t win any beauty contests. A starring role in a feature film seems unlikely. And yet, a humble, almost universally overlooked species of goby was selected to provide a memorable experience to a group of high-school marine biology students. As part of a semester-long project, students were successful in their attempt to breed and rear an intertidal goby from the Sea of Cortez. This was a species of goby that had not previously been reported as having been successfully reared through its entire life cycle in captivity. Their processes, observations, and the results of experimentation with alternative feeds, microbial microflora, and water chemistry are described in this three part series. It is hoped that others who wish to try rearing marine fishes on a small scale might be able to adapt these techniques for their own endeavors, and that educators may find ideas on how to bring the field of marine aquaculture into the classroom.
