A new report by Research and Markets predicts that the Indian aquafeed market will grow by as much as 20 percent by 2015 due to rising demand for fish.
We love a good statistic here at the Aquaculturists. This set of data on the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) is very informative. It looks at the whole scope of ASC interests from species and location to where the fish are consumed.
Is aquaculture the 'last agricultural frontier'? Alltech thinks so. Join the company in its 29th Annual Alltech International Symposium in Lexington, USA, May 19-22, 2013.
“Nobody doubts the enormous potential of farming the sea; in fact the
spotlight is now on aquaculture and what its contribution will be to
the future of food. However, with concerns growing about sustainability
and the overfishing of wild stocks, it is essential that we as an
industry decide how to move forward,” said Jorge Arias, Alltech’s global
aqua director and co-chairperson of the aqua track. “In addition to
this we must ensure that the end product is as safe and as healthy for
the consumer as it is currently renowned to be.”
