𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 ...? 🔍 The use of cut offs has increased significantly over the last few years and today, EFFOP members use around 40% of cut offs. It should be noted that some plants only process trimmings to produce fish oil and fish meal. ♻️ European industry is leading in optimizing the exploitation of these valuable marine resources, contributing to the circularity of the blue economy, and reducing the environmental footprint of aquaculture production. 🌍 👉 Read the Commission's answer here: https://lnkd.in/dVcKrFXq 👉 Also read our contribution to the Joint-AC advice here: https://lnkd.in/d9magH-E #fishmeal #fishoil #marineingredients #circulareconomy #eufish

The European Commission has just published 3 new staff working documents to promote sustainable aquaculture in the European Union. These documents focus on three crucial topics: access to space and water for freshwater and land-based aquaculture, climate-change adaptation, and energy transition.

The application of #biosecurity measures is essential to limit the introduction of pathogens and their dissemination inside and outside the breeding unit, as well as to prevent the risk of the biocontamination of humans and of the environment The AAC recommends that the EC: ▶️revises the criteria for defining the disease-free status for hatcheries and nurseries ▶️develops a certification/label that recognises the production of spat free of one or more pathogens by the hatchery and/or nursery concerned ▶️supports work on stimulating immunity in bivalve molluscs and work linked to genetic selection In its answer, the Commission takes note of our suggestions. 👉Read the Commission’s answer here: https://lnkd.in/dDuRdQZ2 👉Read our Recommendation in EN, and soon in FR, ES, DE & IT here: https://lnkd.in/d27Z7WDg #aquaculture #sustainableaquaculture #shellfish #shellfishhatcheries #shellfishnurseries #biosecurity FEAP EATIP Comité National de la Conchyliculture Comité Régional de la Conchyliculture des Pays de la Loire Comité Régional de la Conchyliculture Bretagne-Nord Comité Régional de Conchyliculture - Charente-Maritime Eurogroup for Animals EFFAB - European Forum of Farm Animal Breeders Irish Farmers Association Comité National Des Pêches Maritimes et des Élevages Marins (CNPMEM) Aquatic Life Institute Recirkfisk PO Compassion in World Farming EU Ornamental Fish International AIPCE CEP | European Fish Processors and Traders Association aquacultores.pt - Associação Portuguesa de Aquacultores

🌊🌊🌊 The Aquaculture Advisory Council has issued a crucial call to action, urging the European Commission and Member States to prioritize the protection of #shellfish production zones. These waters are not only essential for the #aquaculture sector but also play a key role in maintaining marine ecosystem health. ✴️ As the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive nears its final negotiations, it's clear that addressing challenges such as norovirus contamination in shellfish and enhancing water resilience in transitional and coastal areas must remain top priorities. ✴️ The European Commission's commitment to safeguarding these waters is encouraging, but collaboration with Member States and the scientific community will be essential to ensure the effective implementation of these measures.   👉 Explore the complete update on the Aquaculture Advisory Council's recommendations and the European Commission's commitments: https://lnkd.in/eHrqKxuu
