Indonesia’s aquafeed producers – be they industrial players or farmers who produce feed independently – are increasingly looking towards the use of local and sustainable alternatives to fish meal and soy.
Novel means of improving shrimp health – including the use of alternative feed ingredients – are due to be the subject of a short, free webinar taking place on 10 November.
Organised by The Fish Site and Calysta, the event has been inspired by trials …
Shrimp fed diets containing FeedKind, a novel microbial protein produced by Calysta, have been shown to be more resistant to Vibrio parahaemolyticus – the source of early mortality syndrome (EMS).
“Rabbitfish have amazing potential for small-scale sustainable aquaculture across the tropics: they are easy to grow have high local demand and they are herbivorous and feed on a variety of freely-available feeds.”
The aquaculture industry must continue in its quest to become more sustainable, with greater use of seaweeds in aquafeeds and production of herbivorous fish among two of the most promising avenues to achieve this.
A review of the latest scientific studies by Alune* suggests that fish meal inclusion in shrimp feeds can be significantly reduced, offering hope for a more sustainable shrimp farming sector.
If soy has such negative impact on the environment, why is it still used in salmon feeds? Many new ingredients are being developed, why don’t we see a bigger change in the feed composition?
A promising integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) project aims to restore a threatened sea anemone to a large swathe of the southwest coast of Spain, as well as produce a range of other seafood products.
Carlos Diaz, CEO of BioMar, explains the logic behind the company’s ambitious new 2030 sustainability goals and muses on how the company – and the wider aquaculture industry – is likely to grow in the coming decades.
