In this interview, Artur Rombenso, senior research scientist at CSIRO, explores the future of aquaculture nutrition, emphasizing the shift toward precision feeding, sustainable ingredient sourcing, and integrated innovation to overcome industry challenges and enhance global food security.

At the IFFO 2025 Members’ Meeting, Brett Glencross outlined key regulatory updates on fishmeal shipping and antioxidant use, and detailed efforts to improve contaminant testing in marine oils to ensure global safety and compliance standards.

Despite potential export market challenges and raw material concerns, Skretting India is focusing on boosting domestic shrimp consumption through initiatives like Shrimp-a-Thon and promoting technology adoption to address health issues in the growing Indian aquaculture sector.

IFFO’s 2025 Members’ Meeting highlighted the marine ingredients industry’s recovery from El Niño, ongoing consolidation, and a growing shift toward byproducts, diversified sourcing, and sustainable innovation to meet rising global demand across aquafeed, pet food, and human nutrition.

South Asia's booming livestock and aquaculture sectors are driving a surge in demand for high-quality animal feed, creating significant growth opportunities for U.S. Soy, which is leveraging its nutritional quality, sustainability credentials, and industry partnerships to support the region's feed efficiency, resilience, and aquaculture innovation.

With Aquaterra canola oil being approved in Norway for use in fish feeds, the company is working with the value chain to increase consumer understanding and acceptance.

Skretting China is leveraging global expertise and local innovation to drive sustainable growth in the country’s dynamic aquaculture industry.

Chinese aquaculture is undergoing a transformation driven by falling farmgate prices, rising feed costs, and growing demand for higher-value species, pushing the aquafeed sector to innovate with more efficient and sustainable technologies.

Insect production has great potential to transform aquaculture and waste management in Africa, but it needs to be scaled up to an industrial level to achieve significant impact.

With recent challenges slowing the insect industry’s growth, the upcoming EU Startup and Scaleup Strategy could be key to helping the sector achieve full maturity and scale sustainably.
