A new research piece has just been published in Review of Fisheries Science and Aquaculture. It assesses the current landscape of Long-Chain #Omega3s as well as their benefits and explores their realistic growth potential. Current estimates of #EPA and #DHA production are around 160 ktonnes / year, with more than 90% of this coming from #fishery and #aquaculture resources. https://lnkd.in/d-UbgxJq Brett Glencross Nina Sylvia Liland Bente Ruyter Richard Newton Philip Calder Enrico Bachis, PHD Mónica Betancor #fishmeal #fishoil #marineingredients #nutrition

The significance of Long-Chain Omega-3s, such as EPA and DHA, cannot be overstated, especially in the context of human health and nutrition. These essential fatty acids are crucial for cardiovascular health, brain function, and reducing inflammation. The fact that over 90% of the global supply comes from fishery and aquaculture underscores the importance of sustainable practices in these industries to meet growing demand. It’s fascinating to see the continued research in this area, and I’m eager to dive into this new study to better understand the future landscape of Omega-3 production.

Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) in Indian Aquaculture and Fishries. United Nations FAO published it's first ever surveillance report recently. Some scary findings. In total, 3,087 farms spanning 42 districts in 12 states of India were included in the survey. Isolates of S aureus, known to cause a broad spectrum of infections in humans, exhibited high resistance against penicillin in shrimp (94.3 per cent). The report analysed multidrug resistance (MDR) patterns in E coli isolates of aquaculture origin, revealing that 39 per cent of isolates exhibited MDR, which indicates resistance to three or more antimicrobial classes. It also documented notable levels of resistance to macrolides like erythromycin, quinolones such as ciprofloxacin, and third and fourth-generation cephalosporins like cefotaxime and cefpodoxime https://lnkd.in/g4s_QZba Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP) Taslimarif Saiyed, PhD Anand Anandkumar Jogin Desai Ramaswamy Subramanian SBI Foundation cc - DBT BIRAC ICMR Fisheries GoI

Use of antibiotics in animal feed is a major reason for spread of superbugs, needs to be stopped immediately!

#TARS2024 Vietnam Fisheries Magazine reports: The conference began with an extensive overview of fish farming in Asia, presenting diverse perspectives from experts and industry leaders. In the global finfish market, tilapia and pangasius are ranked at intermediate and lower levels, respectively. The conference aimed to assess the demand, production, and market competition for Asian tilapia in the U.S. Read more at https://lnkd.in/gCfh5NQ3

Aquaculture, the fastest-growing segment of the global food system, now produces more than half of the world’s fish. In Kenya, smallholder fish farmers are receiving targeted training to boost productivity, manage diseases, and improve biosecurity practices. Spearheaded by a collaboration among Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI), and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), this initiative aims to address challenges facing the fisheries and aquaculture sector, which contributes significantly to Kenya’s economy. https://bit.ly/4iNdbRn
