Fishmeal and fish oil shortage: What are the alternatives?

Aquafeed

The cancellation of the first Peruvian anchovy season and the current high prices of fishmeal and fish oil brought new challenges to the aquafeed industry. In this context, what are the alternatives?

Seafood Is Extremely Vulnerable to Climate Change, Study Finds

Sentient

Over 90 percent of food harvested from marine and freshwater environments is at risk, challenging the idea that “blue food” is more sustainable.

For the Love of the Sea

Patagonia Films

In Patagonia Films’ For the Love of the Sea, a family pioneers a movement to revive the Welsh coastline and a fishing industry that locals have depended on for decades. The documentary short follows Câr y Môr, the first community-owned regenerative ocean farm in Wales. Cultivating versatile crops like seaweed with zero-input techniques, the community reveals the powerful ways that the ocean can help fight climate change while nourishing people in more ways than one.

Sustainable Growth of Non-Fed Aquaculture Will Generate Valuable Ecosystem Benefits

Ecosystem Services

Investment in extractive or ‘non-fed’ aquaculture has been proposed as a partial solution for sustainable food provision. An important aspect is the potential for aquaculture-environment interactions to influence the provision of ecosystem services. Here, we quantify and monetise the impacts of bivalve and seaweed farming on a regulating service (removal of nitrogen from nearshore waters) and a supporting service (habitat provision for species with fisheries value).

The Four Fish We're Overeating - and What to Eat Instead

TED Talks

The way we fish for popular seafood such as salmon, tuna and shrimp is threatening to ruin our oceans. Paul Greenberg explores the sheer size and irrationality of the seafood economy, and suggests a few specific ways we can change it, to benefit both the natural world and the people who depend on fishing for their livelihoods.

Fishy Formula - Why the European Strategy Does Not Add Up to Sustainable Aquaculture

Food & Water Europe

The proposed benefits of increased food production via open water aquaculture (increased food production and job creation) are challenged by the darker side of the practice, including environmental damage, endangerment of wild populations, rampant use of antibiotics and harmful chemicals, job instability, and reliance on fish meal from wild populations. Investment in more sustainable forms of aquaculture, such as land-based recirculating aquaculture, small-scale shellfish aquaculture, and artisanal fishing and tourism would better serve communities.
