🌊 Exciting News for Sustainable Aquaculture in the U.S.! 🌊 A recent poll by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) reveals that 76% of American voters support researching the expansion of open ocean aquaculture if it adheres to stringent environmental and consumer standards. As we dive into summer with seafood feasts, this support underscores a growing commitment to sustainable and responsible seafood farming. With most of our seafood being imported and half of that farmed, there's a clear desire to ensure the safety and health of our seafood while boosting the U.S. economy. Researching sustainable methods is crucial, with 82% of voters believing it will ensure the safety of the seafood we consume. Discover more about the potential of open ocean aquaculture to create economic opportunities, support local economies, and produce low-carbon food, all backed by science and responsible practices.

𝙉𝙀𝙒 𝙎𝙏𝙐𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙎 𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙍𝙏! 🎣 QRILL Aqua by Aker BioMarine ASA highlights two studies showcasing sustainable practices in fisheries and aquaculture. 𝙎𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙆𝙧𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙁𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙮 Aker BioMarine's first study emphasizes: 🐠Sustainable Krill Use: Minimizing waste by prioritizing krill for omega-3 products and aquaculture feed. 🗺️CO2 Hotspot Mapping: Targeting emissions, mainly from operations and transportation. 🖥️Energy Reduction: Using data-driven tools like “Krillviz” to optimize fishing and lower energy use. 𝙆𝙧𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙈𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙣 𝘼𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙁𝙚𝙚𝙙 The second study, by LABOMAR and Aker BioMarine, finds: 🦐Optimal Inclusion Levels: 1.5% krill meal boosts shrimp growth, with 3% recommended for consistency. 🌊Sustainable Ingredient Reduction: Replacing up to 75% of less sustainable ingredients with krill meal. 📈Improved Nutrition: Balanced amino acids and fatty acids enhance feed efficiency and growth. These studies reflect Aker BioMarine’s commitment to sustainable aquaculture, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions and improve resource utilization. Read the full study here: https://lnkd.in/dXr5xdtu

Sustainable Aquaculture Practices: A Deep Dive into Premium Tilapia Production   Sustainable practices in aquaculture are critical to preserving natural resources and ensuring long-term production. In the case of our tilapia producer, environmentally friendly methods are employed that minimize the negative impact on aquatic ecosystems. These practices include the use of water recirculation systems, the implementation of balanced diets, and constant monitoring of water quality to ensure an optimal environment for fish growth.   Adopting responsible practices in tilapia aquaculture not only benefits the environment, but also has a positive impact on the quality of the final product. Sustainably farmed fish feature a better nutritional profile, fresher flavor, and firmer texture, making them a premium choice for environmentally conscious consumers. In addition, by fostering biodiversity in aquaculture farms and promoting the conservation of surrounding ecosystems, our tilapia producer actively contributes to the preservation of marine life and environmental balance in the region. #management #ceo #leadership #marketing #humanresources #director

𝘼𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙮 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲...🐋🌊✨ The global aquaculture industry is poised for significant growth in the coming decades, driven by rising demand for sustainable seafood, technological innovations, and the need to meet the protein requirements of a growing population. With wild fish stocks under increasing pressure from overfishing and climate change, aquaculture offers a solution to supply seafood sustainably while reducing environmental impacts. Emerging technologies such as recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), genetic advancements, and precision farming are transforming the sector, enabling higher yields and lower resource consumption. Moreover, the integration of alternative feed sources, such as insect protein and algae, is addressing sustainability challenges associated with traditional fishmeal. Countries in Asia, such as China and India, remain key players, but new investments in Africa, Latin America, and Europe are diversifying the industry's geographic footprint. However, challenges persist, including disease management, regulatory hurdles, and the need for improved practices to address pollution and habitat disruption. Climate change also presents uncertainties, affecting water quality and species viability. Despite these obstacles, the aquaculture sector's commitment to innovation and sustainability positions it as a critical contributor to the future of global food security. By 2050, aquaculture is expected to surpass wild-caught fisheries in meeting the world's seafood demand.

The indispensable role of fish as a sustainable protein source. In the pursuit of a sustainable food future, the role of responsible aquaculture practices, coupled with an informed consumer stance, emerges as a beacon guiding us towards a balanced and thriving ecosystem. 

The #FAO emphasizes the vital role of sustainable aquaculture in feeding the growing global population. As demand for fishmeal and fish oil rises, finding sustainable alternatives is crucial. Dave Robb from Cargill Aqua Nutrition stresses the need for responsible sourcing and international collaboration in the face of shifting fish habitats due to climate change. The Fishery Improvement Projects (FIP) showcase the power of cooperation in driving better fishery management. Join us in creating a sustainable future for our oceans and fish stocks worldwide. 🌍#Aquaculture  https://lnkd.in/dPAPiHUy

🌿🐛 The Future of Sustainable Food Production: Black Soldier Fly Research🐛🌱 Could #BlackSoldierFly (BSF) larvae be the solution to aquaculture’s sustainability challenges? JCU PhD student Kishor B. Gowda is working to prove it! His research, supported by an Australian Research Council Linkage Project grant, aims to breed larger, more resilient BSF larvae for use as a sustainable protein source in animal and aquaculture feed. BSF larvae are not only rich in protein and fat but can also thrive on organic waste, turning it into valuable feed for fish, shrimp, poultry, and more. Kishor’s work with FLYFARM AUSTRALIA could be a game-changer for aquaculture, helping meet the growing demand for sustainable protein as the global population rises. Learn how Kishor B. Gowda’s research is pushing the boundaries of food waste recycling and improving the resilience of aquaculture industries globally. 🌍✨ https://lnkd.in/g4N6DVJr @ James Cook University #Sustainability #Aquaculture #FoodSecurity #InsectProtein #JCUResearch #CircularEconomy #Innovation #genetics

🌍 Alexander Dubsky on why Sustainable Shrimp Production in Europe and especially in Switzerland is a Smart ESG Move Sustainable shrimp farming in Europe isn’t just good for the environment—it’s a win for everyone involved. 🔋 Environmental Impact: By producing shrimp locally, we cut down on carbon emissions from long-distance transport and promote eco-friendly farming practices. Innovative technologies like recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) help minimize waste and preserve our ecosystems. 💼 Social Responsibility: Supporting local shrimp farms means more jobs and better working conditions. European labor standards ensure fair wages and safe workplaces, contributing to stronger, more resilient communities. 🔍 Governance and Transparency: European shrimp producers adhere to strict regulations, ensuring traceability, food safety, and ethical practices. This transparency builds consumer trust and meets the growing demand for responsibly sourced seafood. In a world where ESG matters more than ever, sustainable shrimp production in Europe is a clear example of how we can do business better—for the planet, for people, and for long-term prosperity. #Sustainability #ESG #Aquaculture #ResponsibleFarming #ClimateAction #FoodSafety NZZ Sustainable Switzerland #winterthur World Aquaculture Society European Aquaculture Society Eurofish International Organisation
