Aquaculture is predicted to surpass wild capture fisheries as the main source of fish for human consumption by 2015 according to statistics released by the FAO.
Capture fisheries’ output is projected to rise by only 5 percent by 2022 with aquaculture increasing by 35 percent.
World fisheries and aquaculture production is expected to reach about
181 mt by 2022, a 18 percent growth compared to the 2010-12 base period. Most
of the production gains will come from aquaculture.
However, aquaculture production growth
is anticipated to slow to 2.4 percent per year, compared to 5.9 percent for the
previous decade.

The 4.7 ha facility will be fitted with a micro dosing system and house a laboratory with several cutting-edge technologies, including a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) system.
“This will enable BIOMIN to provide the highest possible level of
nutritional and mycotoxin analytical services for its customers. On top
of that, the LC-MS/MS will also support the Biomin
Mycotoxin Survey
Program, strengthening the position of Biomin as the market leader in
this field," says Jan Vanbrabant, CEO Asia Pacific, Biomin.
