Harvesting the benefits of nutritional research to address global challenges in the 21st century

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 54(2), P. 343 - 363

Published: March 25, 2023

Abstract Over the past 20 years, substantial progress has been made in improving feeds and feeding technologies for most aquaculture species. Notable improvements feed conversion efficiency (through a better understanding of requirements improved management) ingredient sustainability increased capability to use wider range ingredients) have achieved. While advances many main species, there is still much be done defining requirements, especially species being farmed developing world. Gains are slowing developed but potential gains appreciable less There growing need more precisely prescribe required levels essential nutrients various additives diet based on age, genotype, environment, immune status deliver “precision nutrition” approach farming further diversify our options provide greater resilience, as different sources, including possible climate change impacts, becoming issue. demand biocircularity supply chains. Ultimately, what needed sustain future needs sustainable sources cost‐effective protein, some amino acid additives, omega‐3 fatty resources, minerals vitamin additives. The increasing new varied resources will ensure that food safety remains an important issue throughout Feed manufacturing evolved from simplistic exercise highly complex science with state‐of‐the‐art engineering, its application not consistent across all sectors, widespread pelleting, mash, trash fish Similarly, management also dichotomized between world, high reliance manual skilled labor whereas advanced systems increasingly reliant automated computer‐controlled systems.

Toward Resilient Aquaculture in Africa: Innovative and Sustainable Aquafeeds Through Alternative Protein Sources

Reviews in Aquaculture, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(2)

Published: Feb. 9, 2025

ABSTRACT The aquaculture industry is a significant source of food proteins and other essential nutrients, providing the much‐needed requirements for human nutrition. However, identifying sustainable affordable feed ingredients growing sector remains challenge industry. African sector, in particular, developing discernibly but faces distinct socioeconomic infrastructural challenges. Elevated usage fishmeal financially challenging associated with ecological risks. This review examines potential alternative protein sources growth while addressing challenges, including lack processing technology investments, availability, economic viability, policy regulations, social conflicts, anti‐nutritive substances. Alternative have considerable terms sustainability viability. By‐products from animals could be most promising near future, as they are cost‐effective, available, do not compete humans source. Insect alternatives utilization consumption. Shortfalls technology, infrastructure, targeted investments bottlenecks that must resolved to increase production.

Farming fish in the sea will not nourish the world

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 11(1)

Published: Nov. 16, 2020

Abstract Recent literature on marine fish farming brands it as potentially compatible with sustainable resource use, conservation, and human nutrition goals, aligns the emerging policy discourse of ‘blue growth’. We advance a two-pronged critique. First, contemporary narratives tend to overstate finfish aquaculture’s potential deliver food security environmental sustainability. Second, they often align efforts enclose maritime space that could facilitate its allocation extractive industries conservation interests exclude fishers. Policies investments seek increase availability accessibility affordable farmed aquatic foods should focus freshwater aquaculture.

Microbiome diversity and dysbiosis in aquaculture

Reviews in Aquaculture, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 13(2), P. 1077 - 1096

Published: Oct. 27, 2020

Abstract With the continuous growth of human population and associated need for high‐quality protein, aquaculture sector will be required to increase significantly in productivity. This productivity achieved through more efficient use resources like feeds, genetic improvement limiting impacts disease. One key links between animal disease is that microbial diversity, with high‐throughput sequencing technologies increasing our understanding role microorganisms play health, development physiology vertebrate invertebrate hosts alike. Increasing microbial–host interactions help avoid or manage dysbiosis systems final aim improving We review current literature, which indicates there an association diversity systems, as changes bacterial microbiomes are implicated performance, both viral origin, triggered by environmental stressors diet choice. Dysbiosis, whether form loss beneficial bacteria, expansion pathogens potentially harmful microorganisms, can used indicator tool monitoring purposes. Development management strategies towards preserving balance, including maintaining host, critical health cultured aquatic animals likely aquaculture.

China at a Crossroads: An Analysis of China's Changing Seafood Production and Consumption

One Earth, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 3(1), P. 32 - 44

Published: July 1, 2020

China is a key player in global production, consumption, and trade of seafood. Given this dominance, Chinese choices regarding what seafood to eat, how where source it, are increasingly important—for China, for the rest world. This perspective explores issue using transdisciplinary approach discusses plausible trajectories implications assumptions future modeling efforts environmental sustainability supply. We outline China's 2030 projected domestic production consumption through an examination available statistics, qualitatively evaluate these relation stated policy targets, consumer trends, dominant political narratives. Our analysis shows that by likely see outstrip production. To meet gap will attempt increase freshwater offshore aquaculture, imports, possibly expand distant water fishing industry, invest abroad.

Environmental pollution, population increase, water availability and misuse of land are inexorably driving humans to take on important challenges related sustainability. The next future is expected see a significant increase food feed demands, which determines serious threat well-being levels even survival modern societies. Within this scenario, the efficient sustainable use insects as protein sources has been invoked possible strategic solution. As candidate for remarkable growth, insect farming promises benefits agri-food industry, offering interesting opportunities implementing circular economy. In present work, we review selected literature rearing with aim providing short rigorous introduction field researchers, entrepreneurs common readers. After general overview field, including description nutritional values, focuses three species that seemingly set beneficially affect aquaculture, activity presently more sensitive circularity sustainability innovation.
