Did you know? #Salmon, renowned for its omega-3 content, typically derives this crucial nutrient from fish oil, primarily sourced from wild-caught fish. However, the supply of fish oil has remained stagnant in recent years, placing increasing pressure on our oceans. In response, Corbion is revolutionizing the aquaculture industry through a range of innovative approaches. From pioneering feed additives to the adoption of eco-friendly aquaculture technologies, we prioritize the preservation of ocean health and the sustainability of seafood supplies. Tim Rutten, Vice President of Algae Ingredients at Corbion, highlights our efforts to drive sustainable practices in fish farming.

🐟 Fish Waste to Fish Feed: Closing the Loop in Aquaculture In our journey to rethink fish waste, we've covered collagen and soap, but here's another practical use: turning fish waste into fish feed. Parts like fish heads, bones, and trimmings that would typically be discarded can be processed into nutrient-rich fish meal. This meal can then be used to feed other fish in aquaculture, creating a sustainable loop. Instead of relying on additional resources to produce feed, we can reuse what we already have, cutting down on costs and waste at the same time. By transforming fish byproducts into feed, we're not only reducing waste but also making the aquaculture industry more efficient and sustainable. It’s a smart way to feed our future without straining the environment. 💬 What do you think—could this approach be widely adopted in aquaculture? Let’s discuss! Next in the series, we'll dive into yet another fascinating way to repurpose fish waste. Stay tuned! 🌍♻️ #FishWaste #FishFeed #Aquaculture #Sustainability #CircularEconomy

Meet our friends at Cedar Key Aquaculture Farms, who grow sustainable clams in Florida. They’re helping to promote a healthy ocean through responsible aquaculture. People love clams — so much so that wild clam populations can’t keep up. That’s where aquaculture comes in. Clam farming has grown rapidly since about 1990, following consumer demand. It’s a great example of how aquaculture, when done well, can both help support people’s rising need for delicious protein sources and protect the ocean. Most clams you’ll find in the U.S. are farmed either domestically or in China, and all farmed clams are rated green for environmental sustainability. Filter feeders, clams sift nutrients from the water around them. They aren’t given any extra feed or fertilizer. Clams can actually improve water quality and nutrient cycling near farms. In North America, clam farms also don’t use chemicals. Instead, manual labor like pressure washing or freshwater baths are used to prevent and remove clam predators, and good husbandry helps limit disease instead of using antibiotics. #SuperGreenList #SustainableSeafood #Clams

In the ever-evolving world of aquaculture, sustainability has taken center stage. We're thrilled to share the findings of a groundbreaking study that sheds light on the transformative effects of sustainable aquaculture feed on the health of our aquatic friends. A recent research endeavor has delved deep into the relationship between the feed we provide and the well-being of the fish we nurture. The results? Truly enlightening. Improved Health Metrics: The study reveals that fish raised on sustainable feed exhibit improved health metrics. From enhanced growth rates to lower disease susceptibility, the positive impact is undeniable. Nutritional Benefits: Sustainable feed sources offer a wealth of essential nutrients that are not only beneficial for the fish but also contribute to the production of high-quality seafood for consumers. Omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and other vital nutrients are abundant in these feeds. Environmental Harmony: Sustainable aquaculture feed not only benefits the fish but also contributes to the overall health of our aquatic ecosystems. By reducing the strain on marine resources and minimizing environmental impacts, it's a win-win for all. As we dive deeper into the realm of aquaculture, it's clear that sustainable feed plays a pivotal role in shaping a healthier, more responsible future for our oceans and the world. We're excited to be part of this transformative journey, and we look forward to continuing our pursuit of sustainability in aquaculture. Stay tuned for more insights, and let's keep championing responsible aquaculture together! #SustainableAquaculture #FishHealth #AquacultureResearch #ResponsibleFeeding #SustainabilityMatters #ResearchInsights #FishWellness #SustainableFeeding

Environmental Challenges in Aquaculture Aquaculture is facing significant environmental challenges that need immediate attention. One of the most pressing issues is water pollution, where excess nutrients from fish farming can contaminate water systems, harming local ecosystems. Overfishing is another concern, as many aquaculture operations still rely on wild-caught fish for feed, further depleting ocean resources. Additionally, the industry’s carbon footprint remains high due to intensive farming practices and energy use. Finally, the overuse of antibiotics in fish farming poses risks to both marine life and human health, contributing to antibiotic resistance. At EcoFeed, we believe that sustainable practices are the key to tackling these issues. Our feed products are designed to reduce the reliance on wild-caught fish, lower carbon footprints, and minimize pollution. By using plant-based and algae-derived ingredients, we’re helping to create a healthier, more sustainable future for aquaculture, while supporting the industry’s growth and reducing its environmental impact. #Sustainability #Aquaculture #EnvironmentalImpact #EcoFeed #GreenSolutions #SustainableFarming #AquacultureInnovation

Thanks for leading this Fran 👏 An important paper bringing to light the complexities of single cell proteins for aquafeed
🌊🐟 Excited to share our latest research on sustainable aquaculture! Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food sector on the planet, but its rapid expansion raises major sustainability concerns. A significant issue is feeding farmed fish with wild forage fish (e.g., anchovies, herring, and sardines) as fishmeal and fish oil in aquafeeds, and healthy sustainable alternative protein sources are urgently needed! In our recent study, we explored the use of single-cell proteins (SCP) as a sustainable alternative to fishmeal. We tested a microbial SCP derived from methane-utilizing bacteria (Methylococcus capsulatus), offering a 'double whammy' for sustainability by replacing fishmeal and reducing methane emissions. Our findings revealed that high levels of this SCP in feed negatively impacted barramundi fry, causing impaired growth, reduced survival, and significant shifts in the gut microbiome, leading to dysbiosis. Despite these challenges, we believe SCPs have the potential to revolutionize sustainable aquafeed development. Bacterial meals could potentially reduce the demand for marine-sourced fishmeal by an impressive 50%! However, our research highlights the need for a nuanced approach to fishmeal substitution, tailored to each fish species and their production phases to ensure the health and welfare of farmed fish.

🌊 Happy #WorldOceansDay! Let's honor our oceans, the lungs of our planet – covering 71% of the earth. 🌍💧While we can’t control the rise in demand for #BlueFood, we can take more care over how it’s produced. At Veramaris, our aim is to support feed producers and farmers to grow the aquaculture industry in a way that is sustainable by relieving the pressure on our oceans as a source of wild caught fish. 🫡By choosing alternatives like our algal oil, feed producers are already reducing their reliance on limited and fragile forage fish stocks as a source of marine ingredients, without compromising on essential Omega-3 fatty acids. 🐠 Check our forage fish dependency ratio for fish oil (FFDRoil) calculator and see how you can grow more salmon with a lower FFDRoil ratio – and increase feed quality with EPA & DHA at the same time. (link in comments 👇). Be part of the solution for healthier oceans – support sustainable aquaculture! 💙 #Aquaculture #AlgalOil #ResponsibleFishFarming #SustainableAquaculture #SustainableSeafood #MicroAlgae
