Welcome to this week's newsletter
As the presence of the Infectious Salmon Anemia virus was confirmed on a third site in the Shetlands, the environmental repercussions of salmon farming were called into question once again. Over in Ireland, an on-line petition denounced salmon farms in Bertraghboy Bay, whilst a Canadian report slammed the unsustainable quantities of fishmeal used in its production.
New product, Kona Kampachi may provide the answer that ocean-conscious consumers are looking for, argues a Kona Blue analysis. One pound of this farmed product requires an environmental input 60 times less than that of wild caught tuna, writes Adam Anson for TheFishSite.

New in the bookshop
We have 4 new features this week:
Risks and Solutions to Feeding Fish with Fish
Continuous advancements in the science of aquaculture has enabled farmers to produce ever greater varieties of fish. But whilst this allows industries to meet consumer demands, an unquenchable desire for large carnivorous fish is not sustainable, writes Adam Anson, TheFishSite reporter.
Use of Vaccines in Finfish Aquaculture
Disease is one of the most important limiting factors in aquaculture. Optimal husbandry and general management - including biosecurity, nutrition, genetics, system management and water quality - are critical for maximizing aquatic animal health, writes Roy P. E. Young, Extension Veterinarian, University of Florida IFAS Extension.
Health : National Strategies for Aquatic Animal Health Management
Rapidly developing aquaculture and ever expanding global trade, in the era of globalisation and trade liberalisation, presents several challenges, writes C.V. Mohan for the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific.
Production Methods for European Seabass
The European seabass are able to frequent coastal inshore waters, and occur in estuaries and brackishwater lagoons. Sometimes they venture upstream into freshwater. Here, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations explains how the different systems of catfish production work.
JEFO Launch Secret Fish Feed Additive Formula
BANGKOK, THAILAND - During last week's VIV Asia JEFO launched their long-awaited fish feed additive which they say has the unique property of increasing the development of the intestinal villi, consequently increasing absorption of nutrients.
