Thoughts from the Aquafeed team

Alice Neal
Alice Neal

Hello,

 

Welcome to the new edition of International Aquafeed. We've got a really varied issue for you this month so I'll dive straight in and tell you all about it.

Microalgae has attracted much attention as a potential aquafeed ingredient so we thought we'd take a closer look. One Simon Davies' MSc Sustainable Aquaculture Systems students, Nathan Atkinson, weighs up the potential of microalgae meals in compound feeds for aquaculture.

In our interview, Andrew Jackson of IFFO talks about the strategic use of fishmeal in aquafeeds and how IFFO helps ensure responsible fishmeal production.

The expert topic this issue is salmon. This species is a favourite on dinner plates across the world so we look at how salmon is farmed and fed from Iceland to Tasmania and Scotland to New Zealand (and a few other places in between).  

Turning our attention to ornamentals, Dong Zhang and Fei Yin of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, write about the effects of feeding lined seahorse juveniles with enriched Artemia nauplii.

While we are talking about seahorses, our photo shoot this issue also looks at this fascinating creature. Marine Conservation Cambodia is doing some very important work using aquaculture to help restock threatened Hippocampus spinosissimus and Hippocampus kuda populations off the southern coast of Cambodia.

But aquafeed is not just about feed ingredients, the equipment used to process them plays a vital role in the quality and composition of the final product. Joyce Li of Amisy, China looks at the role of grinding equipment in pellet production for a different fish and crustaceans.

On the technology front, Patrick Higgins of YSI, USA talks us through the ammonia in aquaculture ponds and effective techniques to measure ammonia levels.

Outside of the office, the summer has been full of events and there are plenty more to look forward to as we approach the autumn. In this issue, we review AquaNor which took place in Trondheim, Norway in August. The review includes some video interviews which smartphone users will be able to access in the palm of their hands. But if you are not technically savvy, don't worry, there's plenty of material to keep you occupied. We also spoke to Alistair Lane of the European Aquaculture Society who gave us the lowdown on Aquaculture Europe 2013 and the state of European aquaculture.

As always, I'd love to hear what you think of the magazine so drop me an email at alicen@perendale.co.uk

Industry News
Biosecurity on salmon farms; private sector aquaculture in Uganda; aquaculture in consumer media
Founder of Huon Aquaculture, Tasmania, Frances Bender talks to ABC Rural on the importance of biosecurity.

Describing salmon as the canary down the mine, Bender says that the fish are the best warning signs for farmers. "Biosecurity is something that we live and breathe, if we don't manage biosecurity we as an industry could not exist," she says.

The company obviously knows its stuff: it has been nominated for the Biosecurity Farmer of the Year in the Animal category.

The audio section gives a really good insight into how biosecurity works and how started off in the salmon industry.

Is a private sector led fish industry the way forward for Africa?
Eleven countries in eastern Africa have begun drafting a policy to promote aquaculture, with the private sector leading the way.

Fisheries officials and government representatives met in Kampala, Uganda to evaluate the Africa Caribbean Pacific (ACP) phase II fish programme.

The programme, which funded by the European Commission, aims to strengthen fisheries management.

The officials concluded that one of the key successes of the process has been is a developing a regional policy framework for aquaculture.

"The comprehensive policy framework will promote aquaculture as a business and encourage the private sector to take the lead," Lovelock Wadanya, acting head of the fisheries sector for Uganda told New Vision.
There's a lot of misinformation out there about aquaculture so I really like it when consumer media tackles aquaculture in an honest and balanced way. This article in Salon looks at salmon farming and is possibly the only article to refer both the Global Salmon Initiative and Breaking Bad.
