Devices that produce nanobubbles are becoming increasingly popular in a range of aquaculture operations, with a growing number of studies supporting their value – both in improving production and in reducing the environmental impact of the industry.
Instead of treating and discarding wastewater from food processing, Mark Rottmann, CEO of iCell Aqua, is integrating it with RAS – bringing the industry closer to achieving zero-waste and fully circular protein production.*
Only 6-7 percent of the protein currently consumed by humans originates from aquatic sources. Given global population growth and the potential to produce food more sustainably in the oceans than on land, this must change.*
Aquatic foods can address malnutrition, lower the environmental footprint of the food production system and provide livelihoods around the world, according to five newly-published papers.
Up to 10 percent of the global salmon supply could be produced in offshore systems by the end of the decade, according to a new report published by Rabobank today.
Ecotechnolgies, including constructed and reciprocating wetland systems, might offer economical alternatives to RAS, employing some of the same principles as recirc systems, but at the fraction of the cost.
Building a shrimp farm in Florida has been rewarding and frustrating in equal measure for Robins McIntosh of Charoen Pokphand Foods, but the experience has taught him a great deal.
Noray Seafood, which has developed a unique, proprietary shrimp farming system, believes that land-based shrimp farming is only a few years short of reaching a significant scale in the West.
Jack James, founder and CEO of Pontus Research*, talks about his company’s new Singapore operation, the challenges of founding a business, and how the aquaculture sector can help to revitalise post-industrial Wales.
Dr Claude Kaplan, IP expert and director at Hatch Innovation Services*, discusses some of the issues and opportunities relating to patents in land-based salmon farming.
Jon Parker, development lead for Aquaculture Industry Wales (AIW), explains how the organisation - which is backed by a growing number of startups - aims to improve the industry’s reputation among the public and politicians, in order to generate much needed gr…
As Project Sea Dragon comes one step closer to lift-off, The Fish Site assesses the potential impacts – both positive and negative – that it’s likely to have on the social, economic and environmental fabric of two remote regions of Australia.
According to Jeff Cheng, recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) don’t need to be used for high value species or purely by large corporations, but are well within the grasp of relatively small aquaculture players, producing a wide range of species.
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.
