Fishmeal, a vital protein source in aquaculture, has seen a sharp price increase in recent years, driven by a combination of global challenges: 🌦️ Climate Change & El Niño: Disruptions in anchovy fishing in Peru, the world's largest fishmeal producer, have tightened supply. 🌍 Rising Demand: The growing need for fish products and animal feed intensifies resource pressure. 📜 Regulations: Sustainability efforts limit overfishing and reduce raw material availability. 🚢 Production Costs: Higher energy prices and supply chain disruptions add to the burden. Alternative proteins are gaining traction to ensure sustainability and affordability. While insect-based and microalgae-based feeds are promising, plant-based solutions like Lemna (duckweed) are emerging as game-changers. Lemna offers high protein content, rapid growth, and environmental benefits, making it a viable replacement for traditional fishmeal. The future of aquaculture depends on innovation, collaboration, and sustainable protein sources. LemaPro is here to take part and shape the future of aquaculture feeding 🌱 What’s your take on Lemna and other plant-based proteins in aquaculture?

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 growing scarcity of essential feed ingredients demands an urgent and transformative shift in aquaculture practices across Africa. Outdated feeding protocols are no longer sustainable. It is imperative to accurately determine and meet the true nutrient requirements of economically significant fish species by utilizing raw materials that are not only digestible but also highly bioavailable. Yet, the reality on the ground tells a different story. Fish species requiring 32% crude protein (CP) are often fed diets with 35 - 38%, while those needing 38% CP are being overfed with 42%. This persistent overloading of nutrients in fish feeds represents a gross mismanagement of scarce resources contributimg to the high cost of fish feeds. Worse still, it directly contributes to high farm operations cost, environmental degradation, fostering conditions that accelerate fish disease outbreaks and destabilize aquatic ecosystems. To sustain aquaculture, safeguard livelihoods, and protect our planet, we must urgently abandon these wasteful practices. Innovation and precision in feed formulation are non-negotiable. The cost of inaction is steep and unforgiving. As Nigeria and other African countries prepare for heavy investment in cage culture systems: raising fish on open waters, the pressing question remains: how much longer can we ignore these consequences before they irreversibly compromise the aquaculture industry, devastate livelihoods, and jeopardize the prosperity of future generations? The time to act is now.

Excited to share this excellent news!! Our book chapter on ‘Sustainable Feed Ingredients and Additives for Aquaculture Farming’ in ‘Sustainable Aquaculture Feeds: the Potential of Sargassum Brown Seaweeds as Carbohydrate Sources’ edited by Gabriel et al. is published and available online. https://lnkd.in/eD-fkbWr This chapter explores the potential of #brown #seaweeds, particularly Sargassum natans and #Sargassum fluitans, as a sustainable and nutritious source of aquaculture feed. It discusses the ecological importance and global distribution of seaweeds, highlighting the environmental impact of increasing Sargassum populations, which may be influenced by climate change. The chapter emphasizes the need to utilize these seaweeds to reduce production costs and environmental impact in aquaculture. It also analyzes the nutritional composition of seaweed-enriched aquafeeds, proposing strategies to optimize their use while minimizing #environmental harm. Abdulgader Turkistani

A major challenge in aquaculture is the vast amount of different marine species that are farmed across the world. At BioMar Australia alone we feed 11 different species and globally, we feed over 45 different species in more than 90 countries 🐟 Each species has different nutritional requirements, environmental preferences and behaviours, making feed formulation a complex task. For example, Barramundi prefer floating pellets, while Salmon prefer slow-sinking pellets. These minor differences can change how we formulate feed for different species. By combining our global and local R&D, BioMar can better understand each species’ nutritional requirements and formulate diets to meet them, creating a more efficient and sustainable aquaculture industry.
