Why Fish Feed Prices Have Reached Record Highs

Manolin

Fish feed has always been the highest operational cost to a farmer, and depending on the species, it can range anywhere from 50-70% of the total of the production cost to a farmer, meaning that from all the expenses a farmer needs to analyze, feed is always the number 1 priority. And since December of 2021, we’ve seen the commodity price of fishmeal climb steadily almost 30% from $1.4k / metric ton to the last reported price of $1.8k metric ton. This is the result of a few different factors.

Securing the Livelihoods and Nutritional Needs of Fish-Dependent Communities

Rockefeller Foundation

Starting in June 2012, the Rockefeller Foundation began investigating the pressing problem of the declining health of the oceans due to climate change, overfishing, pollution and habitat destruction, and the effects of this decline on poor and vulnerable people who depend on marine ecosystems for food and livelihoods. The goal was to better understand the nature of the problem and the potential impact of interventions in the fields of fisheries, aquaculture, poverty, and food security.

Blue Empire

Feedback

This report exposes how the expansion of the Norwegian salmon farming industry has come at the expense of communities and fish populations in the Global South. While salmon producers tout their sustainability credentials, the industry’s inefficient and wasteful use of finite natural resources is driving the loss of livelihoods and exacerbating malnutrition in nations including The Gambia, Senegal and Mauritania. We argue that the Norwegian salmon industry is not so much leading a ‘blue revolution’ as establishing a ‘blue empire’.

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.
