Aquaculture is the most efficient and fastest growing source of animal protein for humans but its continued sustainability is of grave concern. The continued reliance on fishmeal to support the growth of aquaculture is not an option anymore as many of the world’s fisheries are maximally exploited or in decline. Alternative protein sources to substitute for fishmeal have been developed, and current options primarily include those derived from plants. The use of these plant-based...

Malawi — a Fish Eating Nation Although Malawi is endowed with the ninth largest lake in the world and the third largest and second deepest lake in Africa, overfishing resulted in the collapse of the tilapia fishery around 1990- 1991. Tilapia, known locally as chambo, is the country’s favorite fish and now costs from US$ 4.00-8.00/kg (R55-110/ kg) for whole or live fish. This is a result of market scarcity which is unfortunate considering the massive demand for...

In the space of 25 years, global farmed tilapia production has risen from obscurity to become one of the most important farmed fish species from less than 398,000 tonnes in 1991 to a predicted global production of 6.4 million metric tonnes (MMT) in 2017. Projections indicate an expected growth of 2.6 percent in 2018 to 6.5 MMT, significantly lower than the average growth rate of 12 percent over the period from 2002 to 2012. Most of the global production of tilapia is produced in...
The article “Tilapia - Miracle Fish (Part 1)” explained that “Market opportunities for green growth and special quality tilapia produced using sustainable intensification technologies should be viewed as an opportunity rather than a liability.” These green growth initiatives have been followed up in this article, Tilapia - Miracle Fish (Part 2) - it features an in-depth view in sustainable tilapia farming discussing aquaponic systems, hydraulic water-driven vertical...
1. Introduction Aquaculture, the farming of aquatic organisms, has been the agroindustrial activity with the highest growth rate worldwide in the last four decades. From 1970 to 2008 the production of aquaculture organisms grew at a rate of 8.3% per year, compared to less than 2% of fisheries, and 2.9% of livestock [1]. The annual aquaculture production is at present over 60 million tons (including marine plants), with an approximate value of 85 billion dollars [2]. The last FAO...
Introduction Aquaculture is the fastest growing sector of food production, comprising almost 50 % of fish aimed at human consumption worldwide. It is estimated that aquaculture production should be two and a half order of magnitude by 2030 to keep up current levels of per capita consumption. Aquatic animals such as finfish, crustaceans and molluscs are particularly susceptible to a broad range of...

During the past 20 years, the pond culture of hybrid striped bass has developed into a successful sector of the United States aquaculture industry; annual production has grown exponentially from 10,000 pounds to nearly 12,000,000 pounds during that period. A three-phase production system has been used. Phase I (nursery phase) consists of producing 30- to 45-day-old fingerlings in fertilized “fry” ponds (SRAC Publication #302). In Phase II, these...

BACKGROUND Healthy diets almost always contain fish, a protein food with fewer calories than other meat sources. It's also one of nature's most versatile foods. As well as different species of fish, you can steam, bake, fry or poach fish. But there have been conflicting health messages around the benefits of eating fish. Long regarded as low in fat and high in "good fats," the health benefits have been overwhelmed by...
