Three new research reports show that we know too little about how farmed salmon affect wild salmon, and that it is not communicated clearly enough what we do actually know. Researchers from Nofima are critical about the lack of correlation between the public administration’s communication and the actual scientific basis

US shrimp producers are becoming more aggressive in the promotion of their products.

The question of “What Farmed Fish Eat” was the subject of the first panel session at the 2011 International Boston Seafood Show last month. A panel of experts in aquafeeds gathered to discuss recent advances in feed research and industry progress towards sustainability. The panel was moderated by Steven Hart, Director of Aquaculture at the Indiana Soybean Alliance, and included:
• Richard Nelson, Manager of Purchasing at Silver Cup Feeds, a fish feed provider
• Mike Hickerson, Director of Sales at Bell Aquaculture, a producer of farm-raised yellow perch in Indiana;
• Jeff Silverstein, Director of the Aquaculture Program at the Agriculture Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture;
• Mike Cremer, Director of the Global Aquaculture Program with the U.S. Soybean Export Council. He also has experience in fish nutrition; and
• George Leonard, Director of Aquaculture Programming for the Ocean Conservancy, an environmental NGO.

Open-ocean aquaculture could play a big role in addressing the pressing food and water needs of the Arabian Gulf region. According to the International Fund for Agricultural Development, or IFAD, Arab Gulf countries account for more than 5 percent of the world’s population but less than 1 percent of global water resources. Because of the arid desert climate, which is not conducive to large-scale farming, the region imports more than 80 percent of its food. Furthermore, water used in agriculture consumes up to 80 percent of the total water supply; therefore, subsidized agriculture schemes are unfeasible and unsustainable on a large scale

Total catfish feed delivered in the United States during March 2011 was 17,459 tons, up 29 percent from March 2010 and up 252 percent from the previous month
