Dear reader

Welcome to the February edition of our International Aquafeed e-Newsletter!

We had three IAF representatives at WAS Seattle this past week or so, and right from the start I would like to congratulate the society for its huge success.

Our team was very please to meet with numerous readers and attendees at the event. And we were particularly pleased that our 2014 IAF Wall Planner and our magazine - both in Spanish and English - reached most delegates. I'm sure all attendees would have received one or the other, but if you were unfortunate not to receive both and would like to receive 'the other' publication please contact me.

These days there is constant talk about how effective digital communication is and that in the future it will replace print. While we acknowledge the power of digital to 'reach' a relevant audience, we also know that print will remain the way many of you will want to receive our nutritional and technological features. This is why we publish our material both online and in print. Our e-Newsletter is the 'bridge' between news stories published via The Aquaculturists blog and the IAF magazine in print and online. Our e-Newsletter is a great place to connect to all aspects of International Aquafeed content and we encourage you to check out the links we have below to get you to the news and features that are of most interest.

Our publisher is promoting the consumption of fish as an alternative to some land-based animal species in the run-up to 2050. He has spoken in Nigeria and the USA in recent weeks on the importance of scientifically-formulated feedingstuffs in meeting the challenge of a growing world population. He is suggesting that there should be a 'benchmark' for compound feed based on an annual, country-by-country, per capita figure of 133.6kg/head. Below that figure he suggests countries might be struggling with food security issues. You can read his thoughts on this subject and how that might impact fish production/consumption in his blog here.

Our magazine focuses on key global events such as exhibitions and conferences in order to encourage a coming-together of industry representatives to discuss the issues that matter most.

The next up-coming big event of international proportions is 'Aquaculture UK2014'. It is imminent. We are already working to support this important Scottish event and plan for the next edition of IAF magazines to be widely distributed there. In this edition we will be carrying an interview with organiser David Mack with his insight and thoughts on the event. I hope to see you there!

Enjoy this edition ...

Aquaculture: The Way of the Future

This video follows the work of the Cape Eleuthera Institute aquaculture program.
Based in the Bahamas, the objective of the Cape Eleuthera Institute's offshore aquaculture program is to produce marketable size cobia, from hatchlings to harvest, with a systematic approach to promote higher growth rates with a low food conversion rate.

Revision of National Aquaculture Charter

Revisions and updated were recently made to the National Aquaculture Charter (CNA) 2014, which includes studies in biotechnology, geographic distribution, farming and health management systems of 26 species with aquaculture potential and high market demand. The updates were made under the National Fisheries Institute (Inapesca), and thMexican Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food.

The National Aquaculture Charter was first published in January 20011, and has since become a tool for consultation and guidance for the Mexican sector of aquaculture production, as well as an instrument to promote technological innovation and sustainable development of aquaculture.

In its 2014 edition, the CNA presents the study of 26 information sheets, which will be incorporated into the updated document, of which three belong to aquaculture sector. In addition, eight correspond to new species, among which are the western blue shrimp, white shrimp and yellowleg shrimp, Nelson's trout, eastern oyster and sea lettuce of the genus Ulva. It also presents an analysis of the aquaculture sector in Laguna Pueblo Viejo, Tampico, and the Alvarado Lagoon System.
