Just three people have the power to realise or destroy Unity Marine's plans to establish a 50,000-tonne capacity salmon farming operation in the Falkland Islands, with a decision due to be made by a trio of the archipelago's government members before the end o…

Isaac Berzin, founder and CTO of Vaxa Technologies, explains how an innovative microalgae farming technique could make his vision for carbon neutral farmed salmon a reality.

Following successful feed trials with the world’s largest salmon producer, Rare Earth Global believes that the stage is set for hemp to become a mainstream – and considerably more sustainable – alternative to soy in aquafeeds. 

AlgiSys BioSciences, which has developed a proprietary strain of microalgae for aquafeeds that’s rich in EPA omega-3 and alternative protein, is currently looking to raise $5 million to enable commercial-scale production.

Artificial intelligence can undoubtedly be a transformative force in aquaculture, but do its current applications live up to the hype and will they ever be applicable across species, geographies, and scales of production?

US consumers of tilapia and salmon – as well as the producers of these species in China and Canada – are likely to be the biggest losers in the seafood space if President Trump goes ahead with his planned tariff hikes.
