A new IFFO review provides "sobering assessments" in the search for new protein sources for the aquaculture feed sector.

IFFO Director General Petter M. Johannessen says fishmeal and fish oil offer unmatched nutrition and benefits to fuel aquaculture’s growth trajectory.

El uso de recortes y subproductos de pescado en la harina y el aceite de pescado es una victoria para la acuacultura. Pero los desafíos se ciernen, incluida la logística y la economía.

Use of fish trimmings and byproducts in fishmeal and fish oil is a win for aquaculture. But challenges loom, including logistics and economics.

Fisheries improvements projects (FIPs) are an important mechanism for bettering South East Asian fisheries that supply into the aquafeed industry, a new report finds.

Libby Woodhatch dice que el abastecimiento responsable y la producción segura de materias primas son "vitales" para que la harina y el aceite de pescado sigan siendo ingredientes acuícolas con credibilidad.

Libby Woodhatch says responsible sourcing and safe raw material production is “vital” if fishmeal and fish oil are to remain credible aquafeed ingredients.

La harina de pescado sigue siendo la fuente más nutritiva de proteínas para las dietas acuícolas, con una amplia gama de aminoácidos esenciales y una alta digestibilidad, mientras que el aceite de pescado sigue siendo la única fuente comercialmente disponible de omega-3s de cadena larga para las dietas acuícolas – ambos son la base de los alimentos acuícolas.

Fishmeal is still the most nutritious source of protein for aquaculture diets, having a wide range of essential amino acids and a high digestibility, while fish oil is still the only commercially available source of long chain omega-3 for aquaculture diets – both are the foundation of aquafeeds.

The SeaWeb Seafood Summit, held June 5-7 in Seattle, Wash., convenes seafood industry executives, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and ocean advocates from all over the world.

Aquaculture remains dependent on fishmeal and fish oil, crucial marine ingredients in aquafeeds, particularly at key life stages. Andrew Jackson, technical director at IFFO and one of the world’s foremost fishmeal experts, tells the Advocate that the two industries can coexist well into the future if properly managed.

Although its overall production is rising, aquaculture is using less fishmeal and fish oil in feed formulations, and increasing amounts of this fishmeal and oil come from byproducts of fish processing.
Aquafeeds
Traditionally accepted calculations of wild fish use in feed for major farmed species tend to misrepresent fishmeal use. Some more current calculation methods require separate calculations for fishmeal and fish oil, or focus on quantity of protein from wild-caught fish.
