Proteomics can rapidly, and economically, assess the impact that changes in feed formulation have on the performance of farmed fish, potentially helping to integrate novel and functional ingredients into aquafeeds.
Following a quiet couple of years, Knip (formerly KnipBio) is now gaining impressive traction for its functional microbial functional aquafeed ingredient, as recently appointed CEO, Caitlin Wege, explains.
Sea Ventures upcycles post-harvest fish scraps into protein for animal feeds, formulating complete feeds for various sectors, including aquaculture, poultry and pets, as founder Faith Mwende explains.
Chilean biotech startup Aquit is developing a preventative treatment against infections in fish that boosts natural immunity, improves survival rates and replaces the need for antibiotics, according to CEO Daniela Allerbon
Next generation sequencing technologies and metagenomics are proving their worth among early aquaculture adopters – in particular RAS operators – according to Matthew Pope, founder and managing director of Esox Biologics.
Living Seas Aquafeeds is using local ingredients, including farmed seaweed and mangrove leaves, as a functional addition to standard feeding regimes, improving water quality, FCRs and shrimp growth, according to Timothy Hromatka, founder of the Indonesian star…
Aquanzo, a startup that plans to farm Artemia in land-based systems for the aquafeed market, recently raised £1.2 million to help them to upscale their production.
Jim Treasurer, co-editor of a new comprehensive publication on sea lice, looks back on over three decades of working to combat aquaculture’s best known and most costly ectoparasites.
Flexible ingredient formulations, enzymes, optimised microbiomes and genetics are playing their part in bringing multiple farmed fish species closer to precision nutrition, according to Alltech’s global manager of aquaculture research.
A traditional Chinese herbal prophylactic, containing bioavailable phytonutrients recovered from the Camellia sinensis tea bush, has been shown to protect shrimp from outbreaks of AHPND and WSSV.
Researchers are beginning to highlight the potential of immunostimulants as a sustainable disease prevention strategy for shrimp aquaculture. Here’s a run-down of how these molecules work, their origins and how they can be used to combat outbreaks of white spo…
Emerging research has shown that nutraceuticals in aquafeed can delay the onset and progress of clinical signs of amoebic gill disease (AGD) in farmed Atlantic salmon.
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.
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).
