Despite struggling to achieve bulk production volumes and compete with global commodities such as fishmeal and soy, opportunities for alternative protein producers in aquafeed sector are only going to grow in the coming years.
Dr Richard Newton, one of the UK’s preeminent insect farming experts, explains why the sector has a long way to go before it can produce protein capable of competing with the commodities that are the current mainstay of the aquafeed industry.
How a more aggressive diversification of the raw materials used by the aquaculture feed sector could help the planet cope with burgeoning global population growth.
A novel aquaculture feeding concept is exploiting the pond ecosystem to encourage farmed fish and shrimp to ingest naturally occurring food alongside feed – a system that has the potential to reduce both production costs and environmental impacts.
