📊🐟 Do #sustainability #metrics for #marineingredients need a rethink? 💡 A new #review proposes a more holistic approach by using #lifecycleassessment (LCA) to evaluate the sustainability of #marine #feed #ingredients. 🗣 “Using this framework, it becomes easier to understand the role that marine ingredients play in the #aquaculture sector: they are being used more as strategic ingredients at key points in aquaculture production cycles, with a trend towards optimising their nutritional contributions, and ensuring we maximise the efficiency of their use. This helps us to retain more of those valuable nutrients within our #foodchain," said lead author, Dr Brett Glencross Technical Director of the IFFO – The Marine Ingredients Organisation. https://lnkd.in/dT56X2qi

The "What To Expect in Aquaculture in 2024" report, published by Rabobank, offers an optimistic outlook for the future of our sector. Global fish production is likely to grow steadily, with salmon leading the way. Sustainability is gaining more and more prominence, with the adoption of practices such as water recirculation and the use of alternative ingredients in food. The study indicates great potential for aquaculture to provide healthy, sustainable protein for the global population - just as Huon has been doing. #Huon #Aquaculture #Sustainability #Food

There is a lot of misinformation on seaweed aquaculture right now. At Springtide Seaweed, based in Gouldsboro Maine across from Acadia National Park, we are focused on providing healthy and safe organic seaweed ingredients. Check out this fact sheet to get a sense for the issues we face and how we address them.

#Didyouknow that by 2032, aquaculture is estimated to supply 60% of global seafood? The projected rate of growth reflects the increasing demand for sustainable and traceable seafood sources. Asia in particular is expected to produce over 88% of aquaculture products globally. 🌏 Stay ahead of the curve and explore how our insights can help you navigate this thriving market 🐟 Contact our team for more information! #Aquaculture #SustainableSeafood #IndustryTrends #SeafoodIndustry

🐟 Canadian #research collaboration explores #canola meal for #aquaculturefeed. 💡 #Aquaculture contract research organization Onda is partnering with the Canola Council of Canada to examine the potential of canola-based feed meal as a sustainable alternative feed ingredient for aquaculture. 💬 “As global demand for #seafood continues to rise, the need for sustainable practices in aquaculture has become more pressing than ever. By advancing research into alternative feed sources, Onda and the canola sector are helping the industry meet these challenges head-on while working to unlock new markets for Canadian canola," said Myrna L. Gillis KC, CEO of Onda. ✨ Read more details here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dUfDBzcm

Water Quality in #aquaculture #fishfarm As Singapore works towards the 30 by 30 goal of building the #agrifood industry’s capability and capacity to sustainably produce 30% of our #nutritional needs locally by 2030, aquaculture has a big part to play. Maintaining a good water conditions and monitor the water quality in real-time are therefore critical when it comes to sustainably producing more fish to achieve our food security goals. The monitoring of water quality data, including #waterhardness, #temperature, #dissolvedoxygen, #salinity, #ammonia and #acidity or #alkalinity levels. Today, let's discuss about the water hardness. Normally, the acceptable water hardness range for aquaculture is 50–150ppm. Then, the ideal water hardness for the freshwater aquariums is about 70–140 ppm depends on the type of fish being raised. It is important to monitor the hardness of water because calcium and magnesium are the two most common elements that contribute to it. Calcium is essential for the development of eggs, bones, and tissues, especially when spawning fish and raising fry. Ansac Technology would like to introduce to you a series of Duromat water hardness analyser which able help you to measure in the range of 0.22 - 534 ppm CaCO3 depends on your requirements. You are welcome to contact me at bryce_lim@ansac-tech.com.sg to further understand more how this equipment able to help you manage your water quality and safeguarding the sustainability in the aquaculture industry.

𝑨𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆: 𝑨 𝑲𝒆𝒚 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝑬𝒏𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑭𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 In a world grappling with population growth, diminishing natural resources, and the impacts of climate change, ensuring food security has become a pressing global challenge. As traditional fisheries face increasing pressure and land-based agriculture encounters constraints, aquaculture emerges as a critical solution to sustainably meet the growing demand for protein-rich food sources. In this article, we delve into the pivotal role of aquaculture in bolstering food security worldwide. The Growing Importance of Aquaculture: Aquaculture, the farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants, has experienced exponential growth in recent decades. Today, it accounts for over half of the world's total seafood supply, providing essential nutrients to billions of people worldwide. As land availability for traditional agriculture dwindles and wild fish stocks decline, aquaculture offers a sustainable alternative to meet the protein needs of a burgeoning global population. Benefits of Aquaculture for Food Security: 1.High Nutritional Value:Aquatic species are rich in essential nutrients such as protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, making them a valuable component of a healthy diet. 2. Efficient Resource Utilization: Aquaculture often requires fewer resources, such as land and freshwater, compared to traditional agriculture, making it a more sustainable option for food production, especially in regions with limited arable land and water resources. 3. Year-Round Production:Unlike traditional fisheries, which are subject to seasonal fluctuations and environmental variability, aquaculture allows for year-round production, providing a stable and reliable source of food. 4. Economic Opportunities: Aquaculture contributes to local economies by creating employment opportunities, supporting livelihoods in coastal communities, and fostering economic development, particularly in regions with limited alternative sources of income. Aquaculture faces both challenges and opportunities. Addressing environmental impact, ensuring social equity, and fostering research and innovation are crucial for sustainable development in the industry. #Aquaculture #FoodSecurity #SustainableFarming #ProteinSource #GlobalNutrition #EnvironmentalSustainability #AquaticSpecies #ResourceEfficiency #EconomicDevelopment #CommunityEmpowerment #ResearchAndInnovation #ClimateResilience

Silkworm Pupal Meal: A Sustainable, High-Protein Alternative for Aquaculture 🌱 Nutrient-Rich & Efficient: Silkworm pupal meal (SWPM) offers 50-80% crude protein and essential fatty acids like alpha-linolenic acid, making it an effective fish meal substitute that matches fish meal’s nutrient profile. 🔹 Environmental Benefits: Repurposing India’s abundant silkworm pupae waste as aquafeed reduces waste and supports sustainable aquaculture, creating a circular economy in fish farming. 🔹 Proven Growth Impact: Studies show SWPM boosts growth rates, body composition, and digestive enzyme activity in aquatic species, offering an eco-friendly, high-performance feed solution.
