      A New Era in Certified Soy

      Measuring impact is the first step towards reducing it. For years carbon calculations for soy in aquafeed relied on generic data, which does not reflect the reality of responsible farming. In 2019, together with ProTerra, we embarked on a mission to deliver science-backed, verified emissions data for key soy ingredients used in aquafeed.

      Navigating FLAG Emissions in Aquaculture

      Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) emissions will be important as the aquaculture industry transitions towards lower-carbon production. These emissions, now tracked under the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), originate from land use and agricultural activities rather than from energy consumption.

      Bubbling to the Surface: Rethinking Shrimp Pond Emissions

      The aquaculture industry has focused on reducing carbon footprints for years, which is a key element of environmental responsibility. An overlooked factor lies beneath the water’s surface. Gases like methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases are greenhouse gases significantly more potent than carbon dioxide. While CO2 has dominated climate discussions, these lesser-known gases may significantly impact the environmental footprint of farmed shrimp.

      Why Omega-3s Are Essential for Fish and Human Health

      Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, are fundamental to the health and development of both fish and humans. These long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) contribute to optimal growth, robust health, and high-quality fish and shrimp, showing the connection between aquafeeds and the seafood we consume.

      Whitefish Side-Stream Products as a Lower-Impact Alternative to Fishmeal in Atlantic Salmon Diets

      In the past, trimmings, viscera, and heads from fisheries were often discarded as waste. However, these side-stream products, are recognized as valuable resources that can contribute to sustainable aquaculture. While the utilization of pelagic fish side-stream products is well-established, side-stream products from whitefish remain underutilized.

      A Vital Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Sustainable Aquaculture

      Fish oil is a crucial ingredient in aquafeed formulations, valued for its unique nutritional composition, particularly its high levels of essential omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). These fatty acids are vital for the optimal growth, development, and overall well-being of farmed fish. Fish oil not only enhances feed conversion efficiency but also plays a significant role in supporting immune function, reproductive health, and the development of larvae and eggs in broodstock.
