🌊🐟 The Efficient Bond: Aquaculture and Seafood Management 🐠🌱 🔹 As we delve into the world of sustainable food production, the alliance between aquaculture and seafood management emerges as a powerful force. Let's explore how these two sectors work hand in hand to ensure the well-being of our oceans and our plates. 🌍🍽️ 🌱 Did you know that aquaculture, commonly known as fish farming, plays a crucial role in meeting the growing demand for seafood while reducing pressure on wild fish populations? By cultivating fish and shellfish in controlled environments, we can effectively conserve wild stocks and support biodiversity. 🐟💪 🐠 Aquaculture facilitates the implementation of responsible seafood management practices, guaranteeing transparency in the production process from farm to table. It enables companies to trace and monitor their products, ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations, and meeting consumer expectations for sustainable sourcing. 📈✅ 🌊 On the other hand, seafood management encompasses various aspects such as monitoring fish populations, implementing fishing regulations, and promoting sustainable harvesting practices. Its collaboration with aquaculture allows for a holistic approach to maintaining healthy marine ecosystems, balancing economic growth with environmental stewardship. 🌱🌊 💡 Moreover, the cooperative efforts of aquaculture and seafood management offer a unique opportunity for innovation. Research and development in both sectors aim to enhance efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and incorporate emerging technologies to improve production methods throughout the value chain. 🚀💡 🌍 By emphasizing the connection between aquaculture and seafood management, we can encourage collaboration between stakeholders across the industry. Together, we can achieve a more sustainable future, ensuring an abundant supply of nutritious seafood while safeguarding the delicate balance of our oceans. 🐋🌿 💭 Let's actively support and promote this powerful alliance, driving positive change for our environment, for our industry, and for future generations. Together, we can pave the way towards a harmonious relationship between aquaculture and seafood management. 🌊🤝 hashtag #Aquaculture hashtag #SeafoodManagement hashtag #Sustainability hashtag #Innovation hashtag #Collaboration hashtag #EnvironmentalStewardship #FutureGenerations#Ecoclimate vision#we4climate#youth4nature

ICAR-CMFRI DEVELOPS ECO-FRIENDLY FISH FEED USING BLACK SOLDIER FLY LARVAE In an attempt to promote sustainable aquaculture practices, the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) in India has developed eco-friendly fish feed using black soldier fly (BSF) larvae meal. This insect protein-based fish feed is expected to reduce dependency on traditional fishmeal, which is often linked to overfishing and fluctuating prices. https://lnkd.in/eCE4J-Tx

For the first time, aquaculture now accounts for more fish production than fishing operations, according to a new FAO report. It’s a reminder that we’re already taking the strides necessary to create a new and more resilient global #foodsecurity paradigm. #Aquaculture is part of balancing that equation, and #USSoy is proving to be just as nutritious, versatile, and sustainable an ingredient in aquaculture feed as it is in other animal feed. https://lnkd.in/eBZzPXNY

But the rise of aquaculture underscores the need to transform seafood systems to minimize their impact on the planet. Both aquaculture and fisheries — sometimes referred to as capture fisheries, as they involve the capture of wild seafood — come with significant environmental and climate considerations. What’s more, the two systems often depend on each other, making it difficult to isolate their climate impacts.  https://lnkd.in/dAfWwqJz

Cameroon participates in Blue Food Forum in Tanzania The country is one of twelve covered by the FAO's FISH4ACP program, which aims to address some of the challenges underlying the development of sustainable fisheries and aquaculture. Led by FISH4ACP, the global forum on blue food value chains will take place on 12-13 September 2024 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, to explore how they can help transform food systems and feed a growing world population while preserving the health of the planet. The event will bring together fisheries ministers, delegates, partners and non-governmental Organizations (NGOs), as well as the twelve beneficiary countries of this United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) program, including Cameroon through its shrimp fisheries value chain development project. In Cameroon, shrimp is caught by industrial and artisanal fishermen, with production estimated at 5,000 tonnes per year. However, inappropriate fishing gear and techniques are having a negative impact on the environment. The use of small-mesh nets, resulting in high by-catch, or fishing in spawning grounds are some of the problems reported in the artisanal segment of the fishery. The sector also suffers significant post-harvest losses due to poor handling, preservation, processing, storage and transport practices. This has a negative impact on the livelihoods of fishing communities and reduces marketing opportunities for shrimp. In June 2021, FISH4ACP, an initiative of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) to support the sustainable development of fisheries and aquaculture, began operations in Cameroon. Funded by the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by FAO, it aims to help the country make its shrimp sector more competitive and sustainable. The Blue Food Forum is an important platform for sharing knowledge generated by FISH4ACP and other initiatives with public and private sector representatives, value chain experts and practitioners, partner organisations and the donor community. It will focus on good practices and lessons learnt from the aquatic food value chain development efforts of FISH4ACP and other value chain initiatives. Cameroon will make a special contribution by presenting good practices in environmental protection in small scale fisheries and shrimp processing techniques, which will be shared with all participants. Through FISH4ACP, FAO promotes responsible and sustainable fishing and processing techniques to increase the productivity and sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture value chains in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific.
