New ingredients in shrimp feed: sustainability and performance - The Fish Site

Posted: 06 May 2021 02:03 AM PDT

Organised by The Fish Site and InnovaFeed, the event will cover ways to improve the sustainability of shrimp feeds – an outlay that can account for up to 80 percent of a farmer's CO2 impact and over 60 percent of their costs.

The current scale-up of alternative feed ingredients might provide the shrimp industry with new ways to improve health, performance and sustainability. However, there are still challenges – in particular in terms of scalability, cost and relating to regulations – preventing the more widespread adoption of these new raw materials.

These opportunities and obstacles will be the subject of a discussion among key shrimp feed providers during the webinar.

Key topics

Maye Walraven, head of business development at InnovaFeed, will be discussing the results of recent trials which suggest that insect protein can improve both the growth and health status of farmed shrimp and also how the startup plans to scale-up to a meaningful production level.

Alexandre Bédier, technical sales manager at Nutrima, will discuss how key customers, such as top-end monodon farmers in Madagascar, are adapting to demands from certification bodies to reduce the levels of marine ingredients in their feeds.

Olivier Decamp, group technical director at Grobest, will talk about the process required to adopt a novel feed ingredient and the need for consistency in supply.

Alexandre Veille, a shrimp nutritionist at Gold Coin Group, will highlight the wide range of novel ingredients that he works with and will also discuss how to ascertain whether an ingredient is genuinely sustainable.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu...

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles. From one year...
