4 ways to ensure the future of aquaculture is sustainable Responsible production: Improving livelihoods: Healthy consumption: An enabling environment: Blue foods, which are sourced from oceans, seas, rivers and lakes, are the most highly traded food products in the world. Not only do these foods provide livelihoods for millions of people, they also feed billions every day. Demand for blue foods is expected to double by 2050, with aquaculture production playing a vital role in augmenting supplies. #enricsala #blueeconomy #ocean #greenregeneration #blue #economy #seaweed #foodsecurity #aquaculture #sustainablesolutions #climatechange #naturebasedsolutions #familyoffice #singlefamilyoffice #multifamilyoffice #vincentdoumeizel #holdingcompany #uae #investorswanted https://lnkd.in/eArPZFCr

This interdisciplinary study focuses into the complex web of factors that influence nutritional retention and absorption in farmed fish. We are unraveling the riddle to combat phosphorus concentrations in aquaculture effluents, from digestive enzymes to dietary ingredients. What is the significance of this? Phosphorus from fish farms has an impact on ecosystems, making sustainable aquaculture difficult. Join us as we embrace an interdisciplinary approach to addressing the changing requirements of the aquaculture sustainability. Let us work together to create a more sustainable future!

Breaking News in Aquaculture! "Maximizing Sustainability: Banana Peels as a Game-Changer in Fish Feed" Introduction: In our quest for sustainable aquaculture solutions, researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery! Banana peels, once discarded as agricultural waste, are now being redefined as a pivotal protein source in fish feed. Key Findings: - Banana peels are packed with nutrients and bioactive compounds - Innovative fermentation with molasses neutralizes anti-nutritional factors (ANFs) and boosts protein content - Molasses-fermented banana peels (MFBF) can replace up to 50% of fishmeal in tilapia diets without compromising growth or survival rates Research Insights: - MFBF-based diets outperform raw banana peels in nutritional value - Tilapia fry thrive on MFBF-based diets, paving the way for sustainable aquaculture practices Implications for Aquaculture: 1. Reduced Fishmeal Dependency: MFBF integration reduces fishmeal reliance, promoting sustainable aquaculture and safeguarding fish populations. 2. Waste Valorization and Circular Economy: Harnessing banana peels champions waste valorization and circular economy principles in aquaculture. Conclusion: Molasses-fermented banana peels revolutionize aquaculture sustainability! This research pioneers an eco-conscious approach to tilapia farming and showcases the transformative potential of harnessing waste to nurture growth. #Aquaculture #Sustainability #FishFeed #CircularEconomy #Innovation #SustainableFishing #EcoFriendly #WasteValorization

Can Norwegian fish farming help create global food security? 🐟 As the world will soon be home to 10 billion people, we simply can’t keep producing food the way we do today. Changing the global food system requires a very wide range of actors in society to work together and form circular partnerships. In Norway, efforts are already underway to increase the output of the Scandinavian country’s long-established fish farming industry (“havbruk” in Norwegian) and develop infrastructure for extracting resources from aquaculture facilities’ waste.  Read more and watch the full video 'Havbruk – enabling increased food production in our oceans' from COP28 👇

As the global demand for seafood continues to rise, the traditional reliance on fish-based feed for aquaculture is posing significant environmental challenges. However, a promising solution lies in the untapped potential of microalgae. #seafood #sustainability #algae https://lnkd.in/efjpDunr

Aker BioMarine ASA promotes sustainable aquaculture along the Norwegian coast🌊 🐟Over the past few months, our #QRILLAqua team (Maja Bævre-Jensen, Karen Kirstine Østerhus and Thomas Wærner), in collaboration with Alltech and Corbion, has embarked on a journey along the Norwegian coast, actively promoting sustainable aquaculture. Our focus has been on engaging with 11 strategically chosen locations that hold significance within the aquaculture community. 💡Rather than merely selling a product, our initiative has been geared towards fostering meaningful conversations about sustainability, responsible sourcing, and the pivotal role of feed in enhancing overall industry sustainability. The seminars we conducted were attended by approximately 40 companies and 150 individuals, sparking discussions on crucial topics such as bycatch concerns and the significance of local, sustainable fisheries. 🤝To address the pressing societal challenges we face globally, collaboration is key, along with the promotion of more sustainable feed practices and the development of a resilient feed ingredient industry. 💪As we wrap up this chapter, we are eagerly anticipating what lies ahead. Our plans for 2024 involve expanding our outreach to more areas and exploring innovative ways to collaborate. The potential for a sustainable future in aquaculture is immense, and together, we are actively turning this potential into reality.

Aker BioMarine ASA promotes sustainable aquaculture along the Norwegian coast🌊 In recent months, our dedicated #QRILLAqua team – Maja Bævre-Jensen, Karen Kirstine Østerhus, and Thomas Wærner – collaborated with industry leaders Alltech and Corbion on a journey spanning the Norwegian coast. Our mission? Actively promote sustainable aquaculture by engaging with 11 strategically chosen locations that play a crucial role in the aquaculture community. 💡 Our approach goes beyond selling a product; it's about cultivating meaningful conversations on sustainability, responsible sourcing, and the pivotal role of feed in bolstering overall industry sustainability. The seminars we conducted drew participation from approximately 40 companies and 150 individuals, sparking insightful discussions on pressing topics such as bycatch concerns and the significance of supporting local, sustainable fisheries. 🤝To address the pressing societal challenges we face globally, collaboration is key, along with the promotion of more sustainable feed practices and the development of a resilient feed ingredient industry. 💪 As we conclude this chapter, we eagerly anticipate the future. Our plans for 2024 involve extending our reach to more areas and exploring innovative collaboration avenues. The potential for a sustainable future in aquaculture is vast, and together, we are actively transforming this potential into a reality.

Israeli aquaculture company Pure Blue Fish Ltd announced it is establishing its first U.S. facility in South Carolina this fall. 'PBF's unique RAS technology stems from over 25 years of research and development, first implemented in the company's fully operational farm in Israel and now being applied in the company's inaugural U.S. facility in South Carolina. This zero-discharge system utilizes specialized biological water treatment solutions to enable complete self-containment - the system can operate far from natural water sources without connecting to sewage systems or discharging fish waste back into nature. Some of the environmental and social benefits of RAS farming include reducing greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, land use, and pressure on wild fish stocks. ' https://hubs.li/Q022Zr1J0
