The most abundant biological resource on earth, marine microalgae, has not previously been used directly in food production. Researchers at Uni Research are hoping to change that through the MIRACLES research project.
According to the United Nations, increased aquaculture production and exploitation of new marine resources are the main basis for food production in the future. ...

Intensive production of mainly carnivorous fish has resulted in fish feeds containing high levels of fishmeal and fish oil, with Europe requiring around 1.9 million tonnes a year. Although this use of fishmeal was initially the recycling of waste from fishing through the use of bycatch and trimmings, due to the rapid development of aquaculture this reliance on fishmeal and fish oil is environmentally unsustainable. This has resulted in other sources of fish feed...

Nowadays, all animal production is concerned by vaccination. This is an essential technique for the protection of the livestock health which, however, entails significant costs for stock breeders. Maximizing the efficiency and profitability of prophylactic vaccination strategies is therefore a major stake. To achieve this, new avenues are constantly explored. One of them concerns the use of new molecules extracted from seaweeds to help optimize the stimulation of...

When Chesapeake Bay oyster hatcheries began to see the unexplainable deaths of billions of larvae during summer 2011, the competing companies banded together to find someone to fix the problem.
That person was David Kuhn, assistant professor with Virginia Tech’s Department of Food Science and Technology in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

Senator Antonio Horvath, president of the Senate's Fisheries Commission, has proposed an alternative outlook on tackling the Chilean salmon farming industry crisis, in view of the fact that "the government-proposed job creation plans only last a pair of months and generally fail to generate new productive activities."
"We are proposing forestation plans with algae, which is very meticulous work, even in land-based forestation. A lot of manual labour work is...

Micro-algae are growing faster under the influence of climate change. However, the composition of the algae is changing, as a result of which their nutritional value for other aquatic life is decreasing. And because algae are at the bottom of the food chain, climate change is exerting an effect on underwater life. This is the conclusion of researchers from the Netherlands Institute for Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) and the Universiteit van Amsterdam.
Dutch researchers wanted...

An international group of scientists is linking nutrient pollution in the world's coastal seas to an increase in the number of harmful algal blooms reported in recent years. When harmful algal blooms (HAB's) occur, they taint seafood with toxins, cause human respiratory and skin irritations and cause fish or mammal kills in coastal waters.
In the December edition of the journal Harmful Algae, scientists present a compilation of 21 articles outlining the role of nutrient pollution in...

Recent food riots around the globe could spell the end for the biofuels industry based on crops grown on arable land. And although biofuel crops are only partly to blame for skyrocketing food prices, they are already branded by some critics as a crime against humanity. The dilemma, biofuels or food, disappears as soon we turn our intention to the humble seawater algae. They are not only a potential source of biofuels. Algae are at the base of the marine food web and can also be used...

The Norwegian aquaculture feed company Blue Limit AS today presented a new shrimp larvae feed to an international aquaculture feed, ingredient and aquaculture farming audience at VICTAM Asia 2008 in Bangkok. The company is a spin-off from Nofima (formerly Fiskeriforskning) in Bergen. The new feed, Brilliant Blue, generated significant interest from both shrimp larvae producers and feed producers. Replacing crustaceans In shrimp farming, the...

As countries from around the world met in Bali, Indonesia recently to thrash out a new framework on fighting global warming, the fishing community there is adapting to the looming impact of climate change. Many are turning away from fishing to a small but innovative scheme aimed at reviving the tropical island’s coral reef, which is threatened by rising temperatures and over-exploitation. The scheme, run by environment group WWF, encourages people to give up damaging fishing...

The Sunflower Integrated Bioenergy Center project reached a milestone recently when equipment arrived to begin the first phase of on-site testing for an innovative coal-based algae-to-biofuels system. Following testing and demonstration of the technology, the system could be used to produce renewable fuels from carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions at the existing and two proposed coal-fired generating units at Holcomb Station. The equipment will soon be used to identify the strains of algae...
