Welcome to this week's newsletter
Editorial: Aquaculture The Future?
A study published by Bioscience has suggested that marine aquaculture could play an important role in feeding the growing world population. Production of marine aquaculture has increased ten-fold over the past 30-years, however the authors of the study say that substantial changes will be needed to reduce the reliance on ouside feeds, fresh water and space.
In the UK, it has been suggested that the expanding aquaculture industry could contribute to improved food security. There has been discussion among industry representatives to establish a producers' 'link' organisation to act as a focus for UK aquaculture and target growing consumer demand.
Canada, Chile and Norway have announced that they will be working together to sequence the Atlantic salmon genome. The findings are expected to lead to better management of wild fish stocks, breeding selection for commercially important traits, and elements of food quality, security and traceability.
The Global FISH Alliance has been launched - a programme to promote sustainable fisheries and responsible aquaculture practices.
