The Irish Sea Fisheries Board is inviting applicants for its commercial aquaculture development scheme. The scheme is designed to promote the
commercial development of aquaculture on a basis which is financially,
technically and environmentally sustainable. It is open to SMEs engaged in commercial aquaculture.
Feeding fish with plant-based raw materials has been shown to have a
negative effect on Atlantic salmon’s ability to digest fats. Studies of the fatty acid binding protein Fabp2 and its
location in salmon and trout give grounds for hope that breeding can
enable salmon fish to adapt to vegetable feed in the future.
Fredrik Venold's PhD research shows that Fabp2 is primarily located in the intestinal cells,
but that this fatty acid transporter also occurs in lower concentrations
in other tissues and in both cytoplasm and the cell nucleus.
Two of the International Aquafeed
magazine team are in Bangkok for VIV Asia. If you are at the show, come
and see us on stand H105 B051. If you're not there, check our blog for

International Aquafeed publisher,
Roger Gilbert is hosting the ‘CropTech-FeedTech 2013’ seminar titled,
Digital Engineering in Feed Manufacturing. The seminar is aimed at those
working in the area of mill technology and
aims at providing background information on intelligent solutions that
have been introduced to address processing chain dilemmas.
“What’s
unique for our industry about this event is it’s format,” says Roger
Gilbert. “There will be seven or eight very
short presentations made by supply companies that have developed
products either using or that use digital technologies to improve the
feed manufacturing process.
