Salmon aquaculture commonly incorporates feed additives to promote growth, bolster immunity, and improve feed efficiency.

Common biologically active additives include probiotics, prebiotics, and essential oils, which are used to improve fish growth and immunity.

A specific probiotic used is Lactic Acid Bacillus B4, which produces enzymes and glucans that support fish growth and immune function.

Glucans generated by lactic acid bacteria act as prebiotics and also have technological roles as emulsifiers and thickener flavor carriers in food processing.

Sucrose can be included to stimulate glucan production by Lactic Acid Bacillus B4, which is associated with benefits for fish growth and immunity.

Protein- and carbohydrate-rich plant co-products such as soybean dregs and rapeseed meal are added to feeds and are broken down by microorganisms into peptides and amino acids.

Fruit-derived ingredients including citrus and olive leaf powders are used to reduce fishy odor and enhance the feed’s nutritional value.

Marine lipid sources such as sardine-ivasi flour, omega-3 eicosapentaenoic acid, and fish oil concentrates are incorporated to provide essential fatty acids.

Vegetables and legumes are also included in salmon feed to help provide a balanced diet.

Vitamins such as vitamin C/E and folic acid are added to ensure essential micronutrient supply.

Uncommon or specialty additives reported include astaxanthin for pigmentation with a claimed reduction in heart disease risk, DHA enrichment, and taurine.

Some salmon farms use additives for color and fat, yielding a brighter orange-red appearance and higher fat content than wild salmon.

Antibiotics and chemicals are used in salmon farming to manage diseases and parasites such as sea lice, though excess use can harm local ecology and fish health. [8].

The use of formaldehyde and antibiotics in intensive salmon farming has been cited as harmful to the environment and human health.

In Canada, SLICE is the only approved pesticide for sea lice control and lice counts must be reported publicly, but resistance to SLICE is emerging on farms.

Malachite green and crystal violet are banned drugs in fish, and tetracycline has regulated limits in fish exports.

Health concerns for consumers include the potential for farmed salmon to accumulate more fat-soluble pollutants than wild salmon and to have higher fat content.

Farmed salmon may contain higher levels of contaminants such as PCBs, which have been linked to increased risks of cancer, including prostate cancer.

Some sources recommend limiting consumption of farmed salmon to once a month or less due to contaminant concerns.

The Norwegian Aquaculture Act regulates salmon farming, including the use of additives in feed, in Norway.

The Aquaculture Stewardship Council sets a standard for salmon farming that includes guidelines for the use of additives.

The RSPCA has welfare standards for farmed Atlantic salmon that may include guidance on additive use.

A Greener World certifies salmon farms against standards that include provisions related to additive use.

The Marine Stewardship Council certifies sustainable salmon operations according to the cited source.

In Chile, the environmental regulator SMA monitors production sites for compliance, enforces against environmental damage, and can revoke permits for violations.

In Canada, sea lice management is regulated, SLICE is the sole approved pesticide for lice, and companies must publish monthly lice counts while also adopting non-chemical delousing methods.

Russia’s veterinary rules for fish farming require water quality standards, equipment disinfection, and other biosecurity measures relevant to production practices.

The European Union supports intensive fish farming but has been criticized for lacking environmental indicators and a clear definition of “sustainable” aquaculture, while requiring water quality standards and disinfection measures.

Internationally, the Codex Alimentarius sets maximum safe concentrations and acceptable daily intakes for additives, and the WTO’s SPS framework governs food safety and veterinary controls. [30].

Gulf technical regulations updated by the SFDA specify permitted food additives and maximum use limits, reflecting alignment with international safety benchmarks.

The AFCD and the Quality Fish Farm Scheme provide monitoring and certification frameworks that include oversight of feed additives and drug residues for consumer safety.

China’s Ministry of Agriculture monitors veterinary drug residues in aquatic products with a reported 99.2% pass rate and investigates unapproved aquaculture inputs.

Belarus has banned fish with the preservative potassium sorbate, illustrating national-level restrictions on certain additives.

China is reducing reliance on feed-grade fish by promoting compound feeds that mix animal and plant ingredients with added nutrients, aiming to cut environmental impacts.

Norway is researching alternative ingredients such as mesopelagic fish and algae to reduce dependence on traditional feed inputs.

Insect-based ingredients such as mealworm powder have been assessed by EFSA as safe for human consumption and can replace fishmeal in salmon feed, improving growth, reducing mortality, and lowering carbon footprint.

Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) can reduce the need for antibiotics and other additives by improving ecosystem function around farms.

Land-based salmon farming is being developed as a more humane and environmentally friendly option that can reduce marine pollution and potentially lower dependence on chemotherapeutants.

Overall, the choice and control of feed additives in salmon farming vary by country and certification scheme, and balancing fish health benefits with environmental and human health risks remains a central challenge. [10].

Salmon aquaculture commonly incorporates feed additives to promote growth, bolster immunity, and improve feed efficiency.

Journalist Hsu Chien-yi / reporting from Taipei
In recent years, the unusually high temperature in summer has led to the outbreak of germs, which has caused great losses to farmers. The probiotic Lactic Acid Bacillus B4, which helps to improve fish growth and enhance their immunity, and its glucan product Lactic Acid Bacillus B4 functional yogurt was added to the feed. Farming time to reduce the risk of breeding.
The water laboratory pointed out that glucan can be used as an emulsifier and thickener flavor carrier in food processing. In terms of health care, research shows that glucan can be used as a prebiotic to increase the number of probiotics - bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria in the body, and regulate immunity.
As mentioned in the water test, lactic acid bacteria B4, previously screened from the gut of perch fish, is a probiotic with special enzymes. Adding cheap sucrose can promote the production of glucan by lactic acid bacteria B4, and developed functional yogurt and ice cream containing glucan with lactic acid bacteria B4.
[Advertisement] Please continue reading...
According to the water test, the literature points out that probiotics or prebiotics such as glycans and oligosaccharides as feed additives can effectively improve the growth and immunity of fish and shrimp. The combined use of probiotics and prebiotics is usually higher than the combined effect of the two alone. Probiotics that produce pathogens can also produce glucans themselves, so the lactobacillus B4 yogurt is applied to aquaculture.
Experimental studies show that the addition of lactic acid bacteria B4 yogurt in the feed helps to improve the growth and resistance to pathogens.

In recent years, due to climate change, the unusually high temperature in summer can easily lead to the outbreak of germs, causing the death of fish and loss of farmers. Three years ago, the Kaohsiung City Animal Protection Department sought technical assistance from the water laboratory. 4 Yogurt feed for 2 months, fish feeding conditions are better than the control pond, growth is very fast, at the end of May harvest, no disease, fish average weight 570 grams, strong and healthy.
When the fish are harvested, the fisherman must wear a safety helmet to avoid being injured by the energetic Wu Kuo. The fish in the control pond eat worse than the test pond and grow more slowly. In mid-June, the fish suffered from streptococcus disease. It must be treated with drugs. The average weight is 467 grams, which is much lower than the average. Test pool.
The water laboratory further stressed that in order to understand whether the feed containing lactic acid bacteria B4 yogurt can really survive the cool summer, and the Kaohsiung Municipal Bureau of Animal Protection specially arranged the test in the summer the previous year. The results showed that although the test group and the control group of the fish containing lactic acid bacteria B4 yogurt were all suffering from streptococcal disease, the test group were milder drug. The treatment only takes 3 days to heal, and the control group is more serious, requiring more than 7 days of drug treatment.
Therefore, the addition of lactic acid bacteria B4 yogurt in broccoli feed helps to improve the growth and health of the fish, shortens the breeding time, reduces the breeding risk and slows the severity of the disease, and the cost of adding lactic acid bacteria B4 yogurt per kilogram of feed is only about 0.5 yuan.

Content: Nanda develops natural food additives to give vegetable meat “chicken flavor ” and“ fish fresh ”
Font Size:
The soybean dregs and rapeseed meal left over from the production of soy products and rapeseed oil may not sound very attractive.
But after fermentation, these agricultural by-products will become nutritious and delicious food additives, adding "chicken flavor" and "fish flavor" to the plant meat.
Nanyang Technological University's food science and technology team, in conjunction with the United States grain merchant Bunge (Bunge) using soybean dregs and rapeseed meal, developed an all-natural food additive, and plans to use it in the future to make plant-based food, so that consumers have more taste choices.
Professor Chen Weining, director of the Food Science and Technology Programme of NTU, said in an interview with the Lianhe Zaobao that the solid-state fermentation process using soybean dregs and rapeseed meal as raw materials is not only low cost, but also promotes recycling.
"These agricultural by-products are still rich in nutrients, such as carbohydrates and proteins, which provide a good raw material for microbial growth," Chen said.
Wu Yinghui, research assistant of the collaborative project, explained that solid fermentation refers to the addition of unpurified microorganisms such as Rhizophora spp into bean dregs to break down plant proteins into peptides and amino acids.
In this process, microbes push the amino acids to release different flavors, such as umami.
"We expect that the final product will have flavors similar to chicken and fish, but we also want to develop more new flavors," Ms. Wu said.
Additives for all natural raw materials and microbial fermentation process to produce human beneficial vitamins
Many consumers will mistakenly believe that "additives" are scientific and technological synthetic products, but Chen Weining stressed that raw materials and microorganisms are all natural, and the fermentation process will also produce vitamins that are beneficial to the human body.
Raw materials such as soybean dregs and rapeseed meal will be supplied by Bunge.
Dr. Yoo Chun Yan, Senior Director of Innovation for Asia Pacific at Bongi Food Solutions, said Bongi ’ s soybean origin is mainly concentrated in North and South America, but it will also import raw materials from other places to meet the needs of cooperative projects.
Creating more dairy substitutes with additives
As for what products additives will be used in the future, Yan Youchun said in response to inquiries that Asian consumers have high demand for dairy alternatives and therefore hope to use the results of the cooperation to create more new products in this area.
Bonji is an American agricultural and food company that processes and trades agricultural products such as oilseeds and employs 230,000 people in more than 40 countries worldwide.
The collaboration between Nanda and Bangji is the first corporate collaboration of the Singapore Agri-food Innovation Lab (SAIL) since its inception in 2021.
The two sides started cooperation in January this year, and the project is still in the pilot phase.
Established by NTU and the Singapore Enterprise Development Board, SAIL aims to promote further innovation and efficiency in agriculture through knowledge-sharing.

Content: Fish cooking strategy (7): ancient Greek fish soup "Kakavya", can be said to be the originator of all European fish soup

What we want you to know is
Kakavia is an ancient fish soup in Greece, named after the tripod cooking pot kakavi used by ancient Ionian fishermen, the ancestor of all European fish soup.
This fish soup is made from a wide variety of fish.
The source of this article is from the previous extended discussion of the mangrove.
Although Japan is a big fish-eating country, the population of young people who eat fish has been declining year by year due to the large number of fish spines and fishy smell, which has led to the introduction of fruit into fish feed, thus reducing the fishy smell of fish and making it grow with a light fruity flavor.
Wild snapper is expensive and low in production. In the market, the ratio of wild snapper to culture is about 2: 8.
For example, Nagasaki Prefecture, which is the first in Japan in terms of wild snapper catches, catches about 2020 tons a year (Fukuoka Prefecture, in second place, 1,893 tons, Ehime, in third place, 1,839 tons), while Ehime Prefecture, which produces the most snapper, is 34,208 tons, more than half of Japan ’ s national production (followed by Kumamoto Prefecture, 104,120 tons, and Mie Prefecture, 5,530 tons).
In Japan, the "Akashi" of Hyogo Prefecture, caught in the Akashi Strait in the Seto Inland Sea, is the most famous wild true snapper.
The sea bream is caught using three types of fishing methods: net fishing, net fishing, and bottom trapping.
One of them, also known as "bream nets", is the fishing method of fishing fishes into the like wrapped in clothing or a large square cloth "wrap" in the net, is the mainstream of fishing methods to catch cichlid.
The bottom trailing net is used to catch fish in the lower layers of the sea.
Growing in the harsh environment of the extremely fast Naruto Strait rapids, Naruto prefecture ’ s “Naruto ” is another species of high-grade wild true snapper.
There are two types of fishing methods, including bait fishing and fixed nets.
This is the traditional fishing method used in the fishing industry.
Throw the bait (jade squid in spring and shrimp in autumn) and the needle into a plastic cylinder 4 cm in diameter and 30 cm in length. When the cylinder hits the bottom of the sea, the lid at the bottom opens, releasing the hook and bait, and catching the true snapper as the tide moves.
The fixed net fishing method here is to set up a "sports ground" 50 cm long and 20 cm wide on the bottom of the sea, which is called a "bream net".
This playground is connected to a pot-shaped passage to the outside, called the "dojo net". After the fishermen drove the real bream into the net, they put the dojo net away, and it became a structure that they could not enter.
It is most delicious at about 30 to 40 cm, and it is especially delicious when it is rich in fat from 3 to 4 months before spawning.
In this period, the real fish are also called "chrysanthemum" and "flower see".
And the fruit fish we are talking about here are brand very young farmed true snapper.
For example, Ise Shinjuku in Mie Prefecture is a mixture of sea bath, citrus and tea. After mixing with feed at a ratio of 2%, it is continuously fed for 14 days before shipment and launched in Heisei 24 years (2012). Olive yellowtail in Kagawa Prefecture is mixed with 2% olive leaf powder and feed. It is fed every day for 20 days before shipment. The lemon yellowtail of Hiroshima Prefecture naturally adds lemon juice to the feed and is sold in Heisei 24 years (2012).
In addition, I mentioned in the "Guide to Eating Famous Stores in Tokyo Minato Area" that is fed with a mixture of citrus oranges (1% juice of Kagoshima) from Oita prefecture. It is fed 20 times before shipment. In addition, in Kagoshima, it is fed with black vinegar for more than 1 month before shipment. Black yellowtail, Heisei 19 years (2007) launched.
This species is native to Japan in the four Ehime prefectures.
The first impression of Ehime Prefecture came from the home of the heroine, Kaoru Yabuki, who was played by Toshiko Asano in "101 Promotions".
Later, it was adapted from Shima Ryotaro's historical novel, which depicts the brothers Akiyama Kogu and Akiyama Shin, who were born in the Matsuyama clan, and the story of the literary scholar Masaoka Ziguchi, who grew up together as a child.
In addition to being the largest fish breeder in Japan, Ehime Prefecture also has the largest production of mandarin in Japan, so in 2011, in the face of the Seto Inland Sea in Uwajima City Aquatic Trading Co., Ltd. put forward the "Uwajima Plan", which combines the two to feed the mandarin peel.
Ehime ’ s mandarin, known by its scientific name Citrus unshiu, was brought back from mainland China to Kagoshima, southern Kyushu, by a Japanese monk during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
By 1878, the wife of General Robert B. Van Valkenburgh, then the American envoy to Japan, had named it Satsuma orange.
At first, he commissioned the Ehime Aquatic Research Center to assist in the successful trial of 20 tails.
Later, because he was worried that the effect might be discounted due to the expansion of the breeding capacity, he asked Nakada Aquatic, the president of Nakada Aquatic, who raised fish in Uwajima, to help him with the trial breeding.
In the beginning, Nakada experimented with yellowtail fish.
However, it may be too sour, so the fish spit out the feed at first.
However, after the fish got used to it, they did not like to eat ordinary feed.
After constantly experimenting with adjusting the ratio of feed to peel, they finally managed to raise the first batch of mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandar
Initially interested in the mandarin yellowtail, it was the national chain of Japanese sushi, which ordered 7,000 mandarin yellowtail yellowtail, which, due to its excellent reputation, went on to produce mandarin.
A few days ago, I made a steamed fish meal (steamed fish), and there are many different steamed fish dishes in Ehime, a large prefecture of true steamed fish.
One of the most representative of the two types of cichlid rice, in the center of Matsuyama city of Nakayo and Toyo (Ehime, formerly known as Iyoku), is a roasted whole cichlid with kunbu juice and rice, cooked together in a pottery pot or electric pot, called “Matsuyama cichlid ”.
In the Nanyo area, which is centered around Uwa Island City, the real snapper sashimi marinated with sauce is placed on the cooked rice and then beaten with a raw egg, which is called Uwa Island snapper rice.
In the Nanyo area, there is a local dish called “Vegetarian Noodles ”, which is cooked with spices such as egg shredded mushrooms and ginger minced onion.
As for the mandarin, it is eaten in the form of sashimi, dipped in olive oil, with the best flavor.
In fact, in the case of the sea bream, the species in Asia is far less common than in Europe, the Americas and Africa.
There are also 15 species of families that are distributed in Taiwan waters: Ryukyu Acanthopanthus, Redfin, Pacific Acanthopanthus, Black Acanthopanthus, Orange Acanthopanthus, Taiwan Acanthopanthus, Brinella Acanthopanax, Acanthopanax, Acanthopanax, Acanthopanax, Yellow Acanthopanthus, etc. Red (red), red (red), red (red), red (red), red (red), red (red) and red (red).
For example, the ingredients used in fish soup in Europe, such as Bouillabaisse in France, Cacciucco in Italy, zarzuela in Spain, and caldeirada in Portugal, are so abundant that the fish soup on the table in Asia is overshadowed.
Kakavia is an ancient Greek fish soup, named after the tripod cooking pot kakavi used by ancient Ionian fishermen, which is the ancestor of all European fish soup.
This fish soup is made from a wide variety of fish.
Traditionally, it is made from small fish caught by fishermen with olive oil, onions and saffron.
Now, let ’ s start with our most familiar red snapper to see the world ’ s sea bream.
red pepper
Red snapper is called Dentex tumifrons, the official Chinese name is yellowback seabream, the Japanese name is yellowback seabream, and the English name is yellowback seabream.
It is called yellow snapper because it has a light yellow color on its sides and head, and it is called lianzi because it is always connected in a line without gaps when it is gathered.
It is found in the western Pacific Ocean, from the Japanese Ryukyu, South Korea, Taiwan, and China.
The main fishing grounds in Taiwan are Pengjiayu, Cotton Island, Vase Island and Yilan Sea. The peak season is early summer and autumn.
The English name Dentex hypselosomus Bleeker was published in 1854 by Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker in his Catalogue of Fish in the Dutch East Indies.
One of the earliest records in Japan appeared in the 1712 edition of the Hanshin Sanjai Mapping Society.
Its life is about 8 years.
The first year can grow to 9 – 11 cm, the second year 15 – 16 cm, the third year 22 – 27 cm.
The average length is 20 to 30 centimeters, and the maximum length is 40 centimeters.
The name of the red snapper is Evynnis tumifrons, the official Chinese name for the red snapper, and the Japanese name for the red snapper, because it appears to have blood on the back of its gills.
It is also known as the Rhinoceros and the Spinach.
"Crimson Sea-Bream".
It is found in the Indo-Western Pacific region, from Indonesia in the west, to Japan in the north, and to Australia in the south.
Taiwan is found in the northern, western, northeastern, southern and Penghu seas.
One of the representative ingredients of Edo Mae is the blood snapper, which is 10 cm long and makes the right blood snapper. Tokyo ’ s fish banks call it “spring day ” (kasuda), which was used when Edo Mae sushi was born.
In terms of market valuation, it is true snapper – blood snapper – yellow snapper.
Japan's main production is from the coastal prefectures of the Sea of Japan to Nagasaki, and the production period is from May to July.
Dentex abei, also known as Dentex abei, is a Japanese name for yellow-fin sea bream.
It is found in the western Pacific, from Ryukyu in Japan to Taiwan and the Philippines.
Taiwan is mainly located in the northeastern part of the country.
According to the research of the literary and historical writer Cao Mingzong, the first red fish to appear in Taiwan was in 1769 in Hu Jianwei's Penghu Chronicle: "red fish with short head and large tail, two open ends, and red color."
In addition, Lien Heng wrote in his 1918 book "The General History of Taiwan": "Red, red as the color of the sea and big as a carp, spring and summer bloom, Keelung is the most."
The earliest written rule of red pepper is red mane, which is based on the Tang dynasty Lin Yin (850) written by Mr. Cao Mingzong in the Fuzhou Diary of Qing Qianlong, and the Ming dynasty Tu Ben (1596).
The former wrote: "Red bristles, like bristles, are large and scaly," while the latter said: "The bristles and bristles are at the head, the first taste is in the eye, and the steaming of onion wine is a precious taste."
Just like we call these species red snapper, in Japan, yellow back teeth and yellow pho teeth are also called "small fish".
Sasazaki is a local dish in Ohama City, Fukui Prefecture, Japan. It originated in the Meiji period, when the fish merchants of Ohama and Kyoto Prefecture collected the fish in the Wakasa Bay in the Sea of Japan. It is a food pickled with salt and vinegar.
The top three Japanese small snapper catches are Nagasaki Prefecture, Yamaguchi Prefecture and Shimane Prefecture, respectively, with annual production of 2115 tons, 1115 tons and 843 tons, respectively, and the peak production period is June to August.
In Osaka, a sushi made from small snapper is a type of pressed sushi made from small snapper caught in Osaka Bay, pickled with salt and dried in the air. The 360-year-old shop "Man" is a sushi shop I would visit if I went to Osaka.
Acanthopagrus (Acanthopagrus)
Among them, the yellowfin seabream (yellowfin seabream), which is called "red-winged" in Taiwan, and the blackhead seabream (kunji), which is called "black" and "wugu" in Taiwan, can be found in page 305 of The Hundred Years of Peace and Food.
• Okinawan yellow-fin seabream
The Japanese name for this species is Japanese, and it is Japanese, which is used to distinguish the yellowfin snapper from the Japanese.
However, this species was only discovered in 2008 and is known to be found only in coastal waters around Hong Kong, Taiwan and Taiwan, but in 2014 it was classified as a near-threatened species on the IUCN red list.
Pacific seabream (Pacific seabream)
This species, which is also known as the Ugg's sea bream, was only discovered and named in 2010, and since it is found in the Pacific Ocean south of the Japanese archipelago to Hainan Island, Vietnam, Singapore, and Australia, it is known in Japanese as Nanyang Gu ("Nanyang Gu").
Australian roughy (Yellowfin Seabream)
Acanthopagrus australis is the scientific name of Acanthopagrus australis, which is the same as the yellow-fin snapper, but also has the English names of surf bream, silver bream, and eastern black bream. The genus was first proposed in 1853 by British biologist and paleontologist Richard Owen in his work on skeletal material.
In 1859, the German-British zoologist Albert Günther named it the surf bream after Richard Owen.
Later, in 1929, the famous Australian ichthyologist Allan Riverstone McCulloch attributed it to the cichlid family.
Although the Chinese name is very clear, its many English names are often repeated with many similar bream families, and it has different names in different parts of Australia.
During the spawning season, they are called sea bream or surf bream; in New South Wales they are called black bream; in Queensland they are called collapsing bream; and yellowfin seabream is the name of Australia ’ s Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and Arts.
• Spinach (black bream)
The southern black bream (southern black bream) and blue-nosed bream (blue-nosed bream) are endemic to the waters of southern Australia.
There is also an endemic species of North Australian roughy (Northwest black bream) in the waters of northwestern Australia.
• Grey-fin roughy (goldsilk seabream)
It is native to the Indian Ocean and occurs in South Africa, the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, and Malaysia.
The scientific name is Acanthopagrus berda, and two other English names are Sly Bream and Picnic Seabream.
As we mentioned above, in Taiwan, including Pacific roughy, orange roughy, and Taiwan roughy, etc., they are referred to as wugs.
In fact, in scientific terms, Acanthopagrus berda was also classified as Acanthopagrus berda until 2006.
Acanthopagrus taiwanensis, a new sparid fish (Perciformes), with comparisons to Acanthopagrus berda (Forsskal, 1775) and other nominal species of Acanthopagrus. A study of the different species of Acanthopagrus taiwanensis from the Indian Ocean was published, and the scientific name of Acanthopagrus taiwanensis was changed to Acanthopagrus taiwanensis.
The area where the twobar seabream migrates is roughly the same as that of the grayfin snapper.
Black marginal seabream is also found in the Indian Ocean and is restricted to Oman off the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula.
Mid east black seabream is found in the Persian Gulf.

Also known as the Black Tailed Acanthopanax, it is one of the families of the genus Acanthopanax, which is called Wugu in Taiwan.
In Japan, due to the limited distribution of the Amami Islands and the islands of Okinawa and other tropical waters of southern Japan, it is known as the southern black snapper.
• Taiwan Acanthophyllus
As mentioned above, Taiwan Acanthopanthus was only published in 2006 by Yukio Iwatsuki, a professor of agriculture at Miyazaki University, and changed its name to Taiwan Acanthopanthus. Before that, Taiwan Acanthopanthus was classified as Grayfin Acanthopanthus.
It is also known as Taiwan Black Sea.
In addition, because these kinds of fish known as black grids are as powerful as cattle, they are also called black cattle.

• Fish cooking strategy (9): For the Japanese, the emperor of the sea bream is the “true sea bream ”.
• Fish cooking strategy (10): Flute snapper is not likely to affect meat quality due to water temperature and season, and even the hotter the weather, the fatter the fish.

Science continues to uncover the potential of iwashi
Now for food purposes, sardine-ivasi is mainly used for the preparation of canned food and preserves.
However, the Pacific branch of VNIRO (TINRO) is working on new recipes based on this fish
Yuri Kuznetsov, Head of the Department of Safety and Technology of Processing of Raw Materials and Developments of the Pacific Branch, told Fishnews about the ongoing research.
He, in particular, drew attention to the fact that the old ways of storing catches were outdated and did not fit the new fishing conditions.
To solve this problem, TINRO scientists have finalized the technology of freezing ivasi, increasing its shelf life, as well as updated the documentation on modern requirements for food products.
The results of the research formed the basis of the technical conditions of TU 10.20.13-368-00472012-2018 “Sardina-Ivasi ice cream ”.
This development allowed to increase the shelf life of fish up to 12 months as a raw material.
Now more than 20 fishing and processing enterprises of the Far Eastern basin produce sardin-ivasi according to new specifications.
In addition, TINRO technologists improve the composition and taste of the finished products from ivasi, improve its therapeutic and prophylactic properties and expand the range.
Various pates of multicomponent composition based on sardine-ivasi with the addition of vegetables and legumes have been developed.
Such fish and vegetable canned food have not only an improved taste, but also an increased nutritional value - due to the balanced amino acid composition.
No less promising is ivasi as a raw material for biologically active additives (dietary supplements).
Sardine fat has a relatively high content of omega-3 eicosapentaenoic acid and is used in the production of encapsulated fish oil concentrates.
Also now marine lipids of a unique composition are used in the manufacture of healthy food products, dietary products.
Another important area was the production of feed for aquaculture.
An important component of such products is fish meal.
Until recently, creating quality sardine flour was a complex process due to the high fat content of the fish.
It improved the feed value of the product, but prevented long-term storage.
Now, thanks to modern equipment, in particular flow-through centrifuges, the problem is solved: you can get high quality flour and separately - pure fish oil.
The high feed value of ivasi flour was confirmed in the course of studies conducted by TINRO.
The results of a comparative analysis of fish breeding parameters of juvenile chum when using starting feed based on different types of flour - pollock, salmon, mackerel and sardine-ivasi.
The best indicator of growth was provided by pollock and ivasi feed.
Now the branch is actively cooperating with fish producers on various issues at all levels.
“We have an applied institute, and our task is to create promising developments and their implementation at the enterprises of the fishing industry, ” said Yuri Kuznetsov.

There are three major differences between wild salmon and farmed salmon.
The average consumer relies on the label on the packaging to confirm whether the salmon is farmed or wild, and the food label is different from country to country.
Stan liked the Japanese way of labelling the fish. Whether it was farmed or wild was clearly written; however, if there were no such labelling elsewhere, how would you know where it came from?
In order to make the meat more beautiful, the fish will be added to the feed to make the meat appear bright orange red, attracting consumers to buy, that is, everyone sees the color of salmon meat on weekdays, because the wild salmon does not have that kind of pigment, the fish will appear dark red, it does not look so beautiful.
If you look carefully, the fish meat of the salmon will have a very obvious white fat line, because the feed is specially added a lot of fat to speed up the weight of the fish, but in fact, the wild salmon in the food eaten in the wild environment, there is not so much fat, so the fat line of the wild salmon is smaller than that of the fish.
In addition, because many pollutants are fat-soluble, too much fat in fish makes pollutants accumulate; in terms of taste, wild salmon does not have as much fat as fish, so it is not so oily when cooking, but its fish meat is more delicious.
Of course, you may be very health-conscious and afraid that wild salmon is too expensive, but there are many other omega-3 rich ingredients to choose from.
Fish, you can eat mackerel, mackerel, tuna, sardines, etc. Plants, you can eat flaxseeds, chia seeds and peach, but note that the Omege-3 of the plant is not directly absorbed, you must undergo physical transformation to obtain, so absorption will be slower; as for supplements, you can choose fish oil or krill oil, these are very good and convenient to choose.

Anticipating obsolescence: The next step to enhancing the sustainability of aquaculture

With growing concerns about the environmental toll of single species fish farms, a research project has been looking at the feasibility of introducing a more sustainable and potentially more profitable method of fish farming, using three complementary species.

Much as native American people planted squash, maize and climbing beans together to benefit each other, (often called the "three sisters"), farming finned-fish, shellfish and seaweeds together could benefit each other and reduce any environmental effects of fish farming. Small scale integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA), as the system is called, has traditionally been used at a small domestic scale in Asia, providing the farmer with more than one product to sell or use.

The feasibility study conducted by Bangor University and published in Ecological Modelling has identified the locations around the Atlantic coast which would be most suitable for IMTA, based on farming salmon, and Oarweed, a type of kelp seaweed commonly found in temperate Atlantic coasts. The research considered the natural distribution of the three species, whether suitable locations clashed with busy shipping lanes or marine protected areas and whether there was close access to sizeable ports in order to reach markets.

The western coast of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland; Lough Swilly in County Donegal, Ireland, and the western coast of Brittany, northwest France were found to be the best locations to further develop IMTA based aquaculture.

As Conchúr Hughes of Bangor University's School of Ocean Sciences explained, "One of the problems with the type of single species aquaculture practiced in Europe is that excess food and feces can lead to deterioration of local ecology, while density can mean that aquaculture companies need to use antibiotics and other additives to maintain a healthy fish-stock.

"Mussels are filter feeders, they can be responsible for removing up to 54% of salmon waste materials from the , using it as energy to grow, while the oarweed removes soluble nutrients from the water column. Oarweed can then be farmed to use in a variety of products, from food supplements for human consumption or for fish farms, as a fertilizer or as an ingredient in pharmaceuticals.

"Each of these species complements the other and mitigates against problems."

IMTA-based aquaculture

Both salmon and mussels are important food sources in Europe, and while oarweed is not as yet, this is a sector that is expected to experience a rapid increase in demand in the coming years- and can provide an alternative sustainable source of fertilizer and other products.

Seaweed cultivation can also provide environmental benefits. The seaweed in the water acts as a buffer against as it approaches the shore, reducing the energy as it passes through the seaweed, much as trees act as a buffer against strong winds, which can help reduce erosion. It also elevates the pH and oxygenates the water.

The EU must not support intensive fish farming — it's not sustainable

Free Article

The Hungarian presidency of the Council of the European Union, which will run between 1 July and 31 December 2024, has announced in its programme that it will pay particular attention to the development of “sustainable and competitive aquaculture”, arguing that “it is the animal protein production sector with the smallest environmental footprint.”

Beyond a supposedly low carbon footprint, aquaculture is also presented as an alternative to mitigate declining wild fish catches. However, under the term “aquaculture” we find various production models – some of which are more environmentally benign when conducted at appropriate scale, such as the cultivation of mussels, clams, and oysters, and some of which come with significant damaging impacts.

Many European consumers who want to eat fish from sustainable sources believe farmed salmon, trout and seabass are sustainable choices. But the intensive farming of carnivorous fin fish is neither socially nor environmentally sustainable.

The environmental impacts of this industrial production model include an increase in harmful algal blooms, a negative impact on sea grass meadows due to the accumulation of organic matter around farms, mass fish die-offs, the use of the harmful substances such as carcinogenic formaldehyde or antibiotics, and water pollution, creating dead zones on the sea bed underneath the farms. Adding to this, carnivorous farmed fish such as salmon and seabass require high volumes of fishmeal and fish oil from wild-caught fish in their feed.

In Europe, industrial aquaculture of carnivorous fish at sea is damaging the environment and displacing traditional activities such as coastal small-scale fisheries.

On the island of Poros, Greece, for example, the plan is to increase the area dedicated to open net pen carnivorous fish farms by 28 times. Yet, underwater video depicts that marine ecosystem near the current small-scale pens is completely dead from the waste and pollution of the farms, and local professional fishermen attest to a loss of wild fish since the influx of fish farms.

Beyond Europe, the production of fishmeal and fish oil necessary to feed carnivorous farmed fish is depleting wild fish stocks. This is the case in West Africa where the overfishing of small pelagics such as sardines and mackerel for industrial fish farms in Europe is undermining food security and the livelihoods of small-scale fishers and women fish-processors. Fish is taken away from people in low-income countries to feed the farmed fish which will be consumed in wealthy nations.

The UN special rapporteur on the right to food acknowledged this in his report to the Human Rights Council in early 2024: “Many farmed fish are carnivorous species that require feed products harvested from wild fish stock, thereby creating another source of pressure on wild fish stocks and disrupting ecosystems.

Moreover, global feed companies are exacerbating food insecurity in some communities. For example, over half a million tons of pelagic fish that could feed over 33 million people in the region are instead extracted from the ocean along the coast of West Africa and converted to fishmeal and fish oil, primarily in order to feed farmed fish and livestock, mostly in Asia and Europe.”

The current EU strategy for aquaculture does not respond to the social and environmental challenges posed by this sector and fails to clearly define what “sustainable” aquaculture is. In fact, in a special report on aquaculture, the European Court of Auditors (ECA) found that the European Union has been pouring funds into the development of aquaculture with little proof that this has contributed to the sector’s “environmental and social sustainability or its competitiveness.” The ECA report further highlights that “there are currently no indicators available to monitor the environmental sustainability of EU aquaculture.”

Under the agriculture and fisheries agenda, Hungary has reaffirmed its wish to support farmers, and fish farmers, through a “farmer-friendly European food system.” Rather they should support low impact small-scale fishers as primary food producers.

Under the Hungarian presidency, the EU should discontinue support for industrial aquaculture of carnivorous species and instead promote more sustainable small-scale aquaculture options that can co-exist instead of negatively affecting small-scale fisheries in Europe and beyond. If Europe wants to be a model in sustainable ocean governance, it must place small-scale, low-impact fisheries and aquaculture at the heart of its food policy.

Drug-resistant sea lice an increasing problem for B.C. fish farms, new study finds

By Melanie Nagy

Click here for updates on this story

    May 14, 2022 (CTV Network) — Every spring, endangered juvenile wild salmon migrate from B.C.’s rivers to the Pacific Ocean, but their numbers are dwindling and some fear sea lice parasites are increasingly to blame. Sea lice are tiny, oval shaped crustaceans that can cling to the backs of wild salmon, feeding on their skin, muscle tissue and blood. Adult fish are generally not harmed when a few lice attach themselves, but juveniles with underdeveloped scales can be harmed or killed when heavily infested. While the parasite occurs naturally in the waters off B.C.’s coast, there’s long been concern over outbreaks on aquaculture farms where open-net pens make it possible for lice to move from farmed fish to young migrating salmon. “Salmon farms act as this year-round reservoir for sea lice, potentially providing sea lice to wild juvenile salmon when they wouldn’t normally get them,” conservation biologist Sean Godwin said. Godwin is the lead author in a recent study that looked at the state of sea lice in the Pacific Ocean. Along with his fellow researchers, he found the parasite is increasingly becoming resistant to one of the main tools the industry relies on to combat the problem. “Our paper found that this tool, which is a pesticide known [as] SLICE, or emamectin benzoate, is becoming less effective and that sea lice are developing resistance to it on farms here,” Godwin said. To assess parasite resistance, “bioassay, treatment and salmon-louse count data from 2010 to 2021” were analyzed. During that time, the researchers found a notable decrease in the effectiveness of SLICE. “It is going to be more difficult for salmon farms to control sea lice outbreaks on their farms,” said Godwin. In the province’s stunning Clayoquot Sound, Bonny Glambeck routinely uses a fine-mesh net and a sample cup to test the waters near fish farms. Glambeck heads the Tofino-based conservation society known as Clayoquot Action and every year she monitors industry lice counts and tracks wild salmon infestations. “The control of sea lice on fish farms is something I do not believe the industry has ever been able to crack,” she said. “Parasites like these sea lice proliferate on these farms and then they can pass them on to wild salmon. With that, we feel that every year that goes by and these farms are allowed to pollute the waters with these infestations, they are just wiping out another generation of wild salmon.” Fisheries and Oceans Canada requires all fish farms in Canadian coastal waters to have a sea lice management plan. The federal department also places a limit of three lice per salmon during the spring when young salmon are out-migrating and are most vulnerable. In addition to that, the industry publicly reports lice counts on individual company websites every month. “The worry is that those lice levels might accumulate and then be released back to affect wild migratory salmon. The science doesn’t support that, but the concern exists so the industry responds to that,” said Brian Kingzett. Kingzett is the science and policy director with the BC Salmon Farmers Association. He says the industry has warned the federal government for years about the waning efficacy of SLICE, and has long called on Ottawa to approve new pesticide options. “There are other anti-parasite agents that have been approved in other areas of the world and we would certainly like to add that to our toolbox.” While SLICE is the only approved pesticide in Canada, it is not the only option for a fish farm struggling with a lice infestation. Kingzett says other environmentally friendly methods include the use of specialized delousing boats. One readily used vessel can suck fish from ocean-based pens into tanks where pressurized water is used to forcibly remove any attached lice. According to the industry, any dislodged bugs are collected by filters for disposal so they are not reintroduced to the marine environment. “During the last five years, the industry has spent about $100 million on importing new technologies,” Kingzett said. “Fish farming is an important industry in B.C. because we are facing a global seafood shortage and the farming sector is looking to provide sustainable, high-quality product.” The industry, however, is controversial and there’s been an ongoing battle to have all fish farms in the province removed. Earlier this month, there was a large protest in Tofino involving Indigenous leaders, conservationists and environmentalists. The group took to the waters near a local fish farm to voice their opposition to the industry and call on Ottawa to evict them. “It is a do-or-die moment for the salmon farming industry,” said Alexandra Morton, who is an independent biologist and longtime wild salmon activist. “We need to do whatever we can to save wild salmon populations because they are sadly on the verge of extinction.” In response, those in support of fish farms argue they are not a direct threat to wild salmon and are a vital industry. According to the BC Salmon Farmers Association, there are nearly 5,000 jobs linked to fish farms and at least $1 billion “in economic activity” is generated annually. Despite that, Ottawa has previously announced that it’s committed to phasing out open-net salmon farms in B.C. by 2025. In addition, it’s uncertain if 79 federal fish farm licenses expiring in June will be renewed.

China's unilateral ban on imports of Taiwan stone specks, experts say China deliberately set up "no tariff barriers"
China continues to impose bans on Taiwan ’ s agricultural products, and the Council of Agriculture is working to diversify the market and reduce dependence.
The National Fisheries Association of the Republic of China (ROC) and the local fishery association have cooperated to launch the free shipping package for grouper fish. (Source: Central News Agency)
(Taiwan News / Comprehensive Report) On the 10th, China announced a ban on imports from June 13 on the grounds that Taiwan's grouper fish had repeatedly tested banned drugs, and the Chinese Council of Agriculture blasted the move as violating international norms, and in addition to offering three measures to help aggrieved farmers, it did not rule out filing a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO).
According to the Central News Agency Free Times, the General Administration of Customs of China notified all units on the 10th that Taiwan grouper fish had detected prohibited drugs such as malachite green and crystalline purple, and that tetracycline was also exceeding the standard.
This is after the pineapple, Shigya and lychee, China then imposed an import ban on Taiwan's agricultural and fishery products.
Chen Jizhong, chairman of the Council of Agriculture, said that the quality of Taiwan's stone plaque is good, and no drugs were tested in 2019 and 2020, and in 2021, China said that Taiwan's two breeding farms exceeded the standard, and the Council of Agriculture followed up with regulations, but China ignored the problems raised by Taiwan.
Chen Jizhong stressed that according to international trade regulations, when agricultural product residues exceed the standard, it is mainly to return or destroy the batch of goods. China's practices have violated border inspection practices and the WTO's food safety inspection and animal and plant quarantine (SPS) regulations.
We will provide relevant data and ask China to respond as soon as possible, and if it fails, we will not rule out filing a complaint with the WTO.
Ran Fenghua, a special professor in the Department of Aquaculture at Ocean University, believes that China may block the import of agricultural products from other countries by means of quarantine and other means, and set up a "tariff-free barrier."
In the early years, Taiwan's stone plaque culture technology flowed to China, but Ran Fanhua pointed out that China has also invested in research and development of related culture technology in recent years, but under the impact of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic, the local stone plaque prices are facing a collapse.
Ran Fan-hua says that observations have shown that people originally preferred to kill live fish, and their willingness to buy frozen fish and other seafood has increased.
Compared with Japan, as an island country, Taiwan's aquatic product consumption is not high, the real question to think about is, where is the future of Taiwan's aquaculture industry?
In response to China's restrictions, AFCD immediately launched three major measures.
First, adjust the market period and production of grouper fish, avoid market demand saturation, and encourage diversification of farming risks through low profits.
Second, strengthen the domestic expansion of sales of fishery products, and cooperate with online influencers, e-commerce, shopping platforms, and supermarket volume retail operators.
Third, strengthen overseas sales, targeting the United States, New Zealand, Canada, the European Union and other markets.
The Council of Agriculture will set up cold chain logistics processing in Pingtung and Kaohsiung to help it sell to Europe and America.
According to the Council of Agriculture, China's annual production of grouper fish in 2021 is about 17,000 tons, and the main production areas are Pingtung (40%), Kaohsiung (25%) and Tainan (25%), and the domestic and foreign sales ratio is 3: 2. In 2021, the number of exports to China is 6,121 tons, accounting for 36% of the total output.
However, China is China's largest export market for stone plaques, with exports of 6,681 metric tons last year, and China accounted for 91%. Other markets include Hong Kong, the United States, Japan, New Zealand and Australia.

A medical study published on Monday warned that overeating salmon raised in farm ponds could lead to cancer.
The Daily Express newspaper pointed out that "some previous studies found that salmon, jam in ponds, which is widely consumed around the world, doubles the risk of prostate cancer," pointing out that "salmon is a useful food source for health because it contains omega-3 fatty acids."
"While one salmon is caught in open water, like the seas, the other is bred in tight spaces (farms and ponds), which could have implications for human health," the paper said.
Studies have found that PCBs in farm-raised salmon were about 8 times higher than concentrations in wild salmon, adding that PCBs have been banned for commercial use for decades, but their effects can still be found in the environment, which may adversely affect human diet and therefore health.
According to a study by the Environmental Defense Fund, eating salmon raised in farm ponds on a regular basis may increase the risk of cancer after multiple cases of contamination have been detected in the United States and other countries.
"Medical scientific findings, published in the Journal of Medical Sciences, suggest that cheap farmed salmon sold in stores may do more harm than good."
“Risk analysis suggests that consumption of farmed Atlantic salmon may pose health risks that detract from the beneficial effects of fish consumption, ” the study said.
Eating farmed salmon more than once a month may be enough to increase the risk of cancer.
"In multivariate analyses, men with the highest concentrations of PCBs were twice as likely to develop prostate cancer than men with the lowest concentrations."

What countries or jurisdictions have regulations concerning additives in salmon feed?

The Aquaculture Stewardship Council sets a standard for salmon farming that includes guidelines for the use of additives.

The RSPCA has welfare standards for farmed Atlantic salmon that may include guidance on additive use.

A Greener World certifies salmon farms against standards that include provisions related to additive use.

The Marine Stewardship Council certifies sustainable salmon operations according to the cited source.

In Chile, the environmental regulator SMA monitors production sites for compliance, enforces against environmental damage, and can revoke permits for violations.

The fine was originally handed down in July 2022 after SMA alleged the seabed had been altered at the Aracena 14 production site in the Magallanes region of southern Chile.

That same month the company had permits revoked at other production sites after repeated instances of overproduction were found to have caused environmental damage in the Alberto de Agostini National Park, Magallanes Region.

In Canada, sea lice management is regulated, SLICE is the sole approved pesticide for lice, and companies must publish monthly lice counts while also adopting non-chemical delousing methods.

From September 1, new veterinary rules for keeping fish came into force
Trout farming is a key branch of Karelian agriculture.
Most of the Russian trout is grown in our region.
Trout farming is a key branch of Karelian agriculture
In order for the fish that will fall on the table of consumers to be of high quality and safe, enterprises need to comply with veterinary requirements.
The North Sea Interregional Office of the Rosselkhoznadzor informs.
On September 1, 2021, the Veterinary Rules for keeping fish and other aquatic animals in an artificially created habitat for the purpose of their breeding, cultivation, sale and acclimatization, approved by Order of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation No. 782 of December 23, 2020, came into force.
The rules provide requirements for the maintenance of fish in farms.
Thus, fish or other aquatic animals should be provided with water that meets quality standards for objects of fishery significance, including standards for maximum permissible concentrations of harmful substances.
When entering the territory of fish farming areas, it is necessary to disinfect the chassis of vehicles with disinfectant aerosols.
Disinfection is subject to equipment and inventory used in the areas.
Disinfection mats (cuvettes) are installed at the entrances and exits in the premises located on separate production areas along the width of the passage with a length of at least 1 m, filled with foam, sawdust or other porous elastic material and impregnated with disinfectant solutions.
Rules for cleaning feed distribution systems are provided.
For example, when using automated wet feed dispensing systems, equipment and devices for dispensing feed are cleaned and washed after each feeding.
With the use of automated dry feed distribution systems, equipment and devices for the distribution of feed are washed, disinfected and dried after the end of the production cycle, but at least once a year.
Requirements for cages
Requirements for the location of sites are described (for example, quarantine sites should be located below the terrain and the watercourse), as well as the equipment necessary for the sites (tanks for antiparasitic, therapeutic and prophylactic treatment of fish, an independent water supply system, etc.).
Fish cages or other technical means used for keeping fish within the boundaries of the fish breeding site shall be designed to be resistant to destruction or deformation during their operation, as well as during mechanical cleaning of their surface from fouling, and shall be made of corrosion-resistant and harmless to aquatic animals materials.
During operation, the cages should be attached to shore facilities or anchor systems.
Attachment structures should ensure the integrity of cages and the preservation of their placement within the boundaries of the fish breeding site.
The mesh size of the cage shall correspond to the size of the fish contained in them in order to prevent injury to them, as well as to prevent the penetration of animals beyond the cage.
The design of the cages should provide for the possibility of removing the corpses of fish from them during the period of detention.
Removal of corpses of fish, as well as aquatic animals with external injuries, should be carried out daily.
Removal of corpses of fish and other aquatic animals from the bottom of the cages should be carried out at least once a year.
Removal of waste products of fish, as well as residues of feed from cages should be provided with the help of a watercourse and (or) forced drainage.
When keeping fish of different age groups, the content of each age group of fish should be carried out in cages standing separately from each other.
Cages intended for keeping fish up to the age of 2 years inclusive are placed upstream.
When carrying out bleeding of fish and other aquatic animals, the discharge of blood into water bodies is prohibited.
Disease prevention
Veterinary regulations also provide for requirements for quarantine of fish and requirements for mandatory preventive measures and diagnostic studies of fish.
Fish are subject to inspection, diagnostic studies, vaccinations and treatments in accordance with the plans of anti-epizootic measures established in the area, as well as preventive anti-parasitic treatments when transplanted from one reservoir to another.
Inspection with laboratory (ichthyopathological) studies of fish contained in isolated production areas should be carried out at least 4 times a year, and on non-isolated - at least 2 times a year.
Laboratory (ichthyopathological) studies should be carried out in ichthyopathological laboratories located in areas intended for the maintenance of producers and repair young animals, incubation of caviar, in quarantine areas, or in laboratories that are part of the system of bodies and organizations of the State Veterinary Service of the Russian Federation, or accredited in the national accreditation system.
Disposal and destruction of fish corpses are carried out in accordance with the veterinary rules for the movement, storage, processing and disposal of biological waste, approved by the Order of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia No. 626 of October 26, 2020.

It 's interesting

The European Union supports intensive fish farming but has been criticized for lacking environmental indicators and a clear definition of “sustainable” aquaculture, while requiring water quality standards and disinfection measures.

Internationally, the Codex Alimentarius sets maximum safe concentrations and acceptable daily intakes for additives, and the WTO’s SPS framework governs food safety and veterinary controls. [30].

Gulf technical regulations updated by the SFDA specify permitted food additives and maximum use limits, reflecting alignment with international safety benchmarks.

Title:

Ibrahim Al-Alawi (Jeddah) i _ waleeed22 @
The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) has launched a project to update the Gulf technical regulations for additives allowed to be used in foodstuffs.
The standard specified the conditions for the use of food additives, whether or not they had their own specification previously.
The standard includes foods where the use of food additives is not permitted or where the use of food additives is restricted, and the aim of setting maximum allowable use limits for food additives is to ensure that the intake of the additive does not exceed the acceptable daily dose.
The project showed the maximum use of food additive according to the highest permissible concentration to perform its desired purpose, and is safe and expressed in milligrams per kilogram of food substance. Food additives were interpreted as any substance intentionally added to food and not as a component, to maintain or improve food qualities and added for technical or nutritional purposes, whether during manufacturing, preparation, processing, packaging, transport or storage.
The substance itself or its by-products may become part of the food directly or indirectly.
The acceptable dose included daily intake (ADI), which is the amount of food additive estimated by the Joint Committee of Experts that can be consumed daily for the duration of life without any significant risk to health and estimated on the basis of body weight. The specification also included the maximum use of food additive according to the highest concentration allowed to be used to fulfill its desired purpose and be safe as determined by the Codex.
When polyols are used in food products for purposes other than sweetening by not more than 10%, it is not necessary to write the relevant warnings contained in the technical regulations and the additives allowed to be used in raw materials or other components according to this regulation, and the content of additives in raw materials or other components does not exceed the upper limit specified in this regulation.

The AFCD and the Quality Fish Farm Scheme provide monitoring and certification frameworks that include oversight of feed additives and drug residues for consumer safety.

In the composition of fish found an unacceptable additive for use in the production of food products.
In the register of dangerous products Gosstandart got dried crucian carp and “royal ” fish from Russia, which were recognized as dangerous.
So, slices of salted dried carp with pepper from the Russian manufacturer “Vityaz ” from the village of Shevinskaya in the Kovrovsky district were forbidden to sell because of non-compliance with the safety requirements of food additives.
In particular, in the composition of fish found inadmissible for use in the production of salt-dried fish food products additive - preservative potassium sorbate (E202).
In addition, the country of origin of the manufacturer was not indicated on the marking.
Also because of this preservative in Belarus rejected the fish “royal ” salt-dried from the same Russian manufacturer.
But even in Gosstandart drew attention to the fact that the manufacturer in the name of its products did not include the zoological name of the biological species, as well as the type of cutting, which inaccurately characterizes it, not allowing it to distinguish from other similar products.

China Works to Get Wild-Caught Fish Out of its Aquaculture Feed

[By Zhang Chun]

A 2021 Chinese government initiative to stop aquaculture feed being made from only young or low-value fish and to instead start producing “compound feed” – mixed with ingredients harvested from the land – is opening up a greener future for the sector.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, in a series of trials last year, the sole use of low-value “feed-grade” fish as aquaculture feed was reduced by 77 percent, and by as much as 94 percent in farming of largemouth bass. Experts say the switch to compound feed could see overall use of feed-grade fish slashed by half for farming of certain species.

What is compound feed?

Compound feed normally contains a mixture of animal- and plant-based ingredients, and added nutrients such as vitamins. For aquaculture feeds containing fishmeal and fish oil, common additives include soy proteins, wheat gluten and corn gluten meal.

Feed-grade fish are those in a catch that are small, low in commercial value, or unsuitable for human consumption. They are sent to be processed into fishmeal and fish oil, or fed directly to farmed fish. But a significant proportion of feed-grade fish consists of juveniles of commercially important species. Once caught they can no longer grow into adult fish and breed, or be caught and sold on the market. Their removal damages ocean food chains and ecosystem stability.

The last decade and more has seen increased calls for China to tackle the use of feed-grade fish in aquaculture, but the current round of trials is the first organised by the Ministry of Agriculture. It focuses on species such as the yellow croaker, Japanese sea bass and largemouth bass, which tend to be fed more feed-grade fish. While those species don’t account for much of China’s fed aquaculture output, they do require much more protein than others to put on the same amount of weight. Compound feed cuts down on the use of fish by substituting vegetable alternatives, and is cheaper.

In the long term, sustained reductions in the use of fishmeal and fish oil in feed will be necessary to protect wild fisheries.

Aquaculture driving feed-grade fish catch

Fishers never used to set out to catch feed-grade fish; it was bycatch, with no economic value. Then in the 1980s, global aquaculture took off. “There was a lot of need for fishmeal and oil,” Rashid Sumalia, a fisheries researcher at the University of British Columbia, told China Dialogue. People started going out “purposely to catch them at distance, because there was a market”, he added.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO’s) 2020 global fisheries and aquaculture report, the use of fish for reduction to fishmeal and fish oil peaked in 1994 at 30 million tonnes, and stood at 18 million tonnes by 2018. Another 4 million tonnes were used elsewhere, including directly in feed for aquaculture, livestock and fur animals.

It wasn’t until the mid and late 1990s that aquaculture took off in China. The FAO’s 1998 fisheries and aquaculture report describes how rare it was for fish catches in Asia to go unused or be used as aquaculture feed. But in Asia, particularly in China and Vietnam, aquaculture has expanded rapidly and the region now accounts for almost 90 percent of global output. In China, output tripled between 1998 and 2020, to represent 60 percent of the global total.

Although many of the species farmed in China need little or no feed, fed fish and crustacean aquaculture accounts for half of output and requires millions of tonnes of feed-grade fish from Chinese waters alone. China does not currently have statistics on its feed-grade fish catch or use in fed aquaculture. One study calculated that in 2016 4.6 million tonnes of feed-grade fish were caught, 35 percent of the total recorded catch in China’s waters, and most was used directly as feed.

“The state is certainly aware of the problem,” said Fang Qing, China general manager for the Aquaculture Stewardship Council, adding that the difficulty in banning some harmful types of fishing gear in China is due to the ongoing market for the feed-grade fish it brings in. Since 2018, China has put minimum size limits in place for 15 commercial fish species, and ruled that feed-grade fish catch would drop to below 20% by 2020. There is no data available indicating whether this target was met.

This it isn’t just a Chinese problem. According to a 2017 study by the University of British Columbia, many countries, including the US and Norway, use feed-grade fish directly as feed. But the practice increased significantly in Asia between the 1990s and 2010, with feed-grade fish coming to account for a high percentage of landed catches.

Replacing feed-grade fish

In early 2019, the Ministry of Agriculture announced it would work to make Chinese aquaculture more environmentally friendly, and proposed the use of compound feed instead of purely fish-based feed. In April 2021, several provinces started trials of compound feed as part of more concrete action plans.

Compound feed for aquaculture is usually a mix of fishmeal, fish oil, wheat flour, soybean meal, vegetable oil and other land-grown ingredients. The amount of fishmeal and fish oil needed depends on the type of fish to be fed, and its stage of growth. According to Fang Qing, carnivorous fish such as the yellow croaker need huge quantities of meat protein at certain stages in their growth, and the relationship between particular nutrients and the growth and physiology of the fish can be complex. Hence, producing appropriate compound feed involves a lot of research and development.

To quantify how efficiently a species is farmed, the aquaculture industry uses a ratio called Fish in:Fish out (FIFO). The closer the FIFO is to 1, the more fish meat is produced per unit of input; a score of 1 means an extra kilogram of fish used as feed results in an extra kilogram of fish to harvest.

A study published in 2020 shows a FIFO of almost 1 for salmon and trout, thanks to the use of compound feeds which require less fishmeal and fish oil. If only fish were used to feed those species, the FIFO figure would be similar to that of the yellow croaker – over 6, according to an upcoming paper co-authored by Zhang Wenbo, an assistant professor in the College of Fisheries and Life Science at Shanghai Ocean University. His research into conventional yellow croaker aquaculture in China found that the direct use of feed-grade fish is still the best option for the yellow croaker farmers. But Fang Qing told China Dialogue that a lot of feed-grade fish fed to yellow croaker goes uneaten, and ends up sinking to the seabed or rotting, causing pollution and increasing the risk of disease.

More compound feed use would help reduce FIFO numbers in two ways: by cutting use of feed-grade fish, and by increasing conversion ratios – that is, generating more fish growth per unit of feed.

Zhejiang is taking the lead in both those areas. Since 2016, the province has been shutting fishmeal factories during the closed season and restricting the percentage of feed-grade fish in the overall catch. This, combined with the use of compound feed, saw Zhejiang cut the use of feed-grade fish by 835,000 tonnes across 710,000 mu (474 square kilometres) of aquaculture farms during the 13th FYP period (2016-2020). “Previously, feed-grade fish were the primary feed for largemouth bass in Zhejiang. These last two years that’s almost all been replaced with compound feed.” The FIFO ratio for farmed largemouth bass in Zhejiang could come down to 1.5, half the national average for this species, according to 2016 calculations Zhang Wenbo contributed to.

But cutting back on feed-grade fish use in China won’t be easy. Fishers catch a wide range of fish with a wide range of gear. At the local level there is a lack of fisher associations that can impose rules on the sector, making management tricky. Zhejiang’s success can be ascribed to strong local regulations. “There are no successful [international] examples that China can apply,” said Fang Qing. Alongside legislation to bolster oversight of the feed-grade fish catch, he also suggests developing feeds which will be more palatable to fish, and labelling products according to their use of feed-grade fish or compound feed, so consumers can make an informed choice.

Increasing the efficiency of fish inputs

The use of compound feed isn’t the end of the story. At least for now, fishmeal and fish oil are essential ingredients in those feeds. And while the global supply of fishmeal and fish oil has fallen from its peak in 2000 to a fairly stable level, the demand for aquaculture feeds has been increasing. That requires the development of feeds containing less meal and oil.

Plans announced by Norway to boost salmon farming have led to concerns about the supply of fishmeal and fish oil as well as vegetable ingredients. The country has started researching the use of mesopelagic fish (which inhabit the middle depths of the ocean), algae and farmed insects to meet that need and make feed more efficient. A more complete solution would be to develop entirely vegetarian feeds, with no fishmeal at all. However, as things stand that would only be suitable for a few species.

“Fishmeal is the most expensive of the ingredients found in bulk feeds. Reducing the amount in those feeds is the best way to make them cheaper,” Zhang Wenbo points out. A tonne of fishmeal costs around 10,000 yuan (US$1,500), compared to 1,000–4,000 yuan for bran or soybean meal, he added. “Feed conversion ratios are also affected by the type of aquaculture, the make-up of the feed, and genetic selection – the breeding of strains more suited to compound feeds,” he said. This is more difficult in China, with its wide range of farmed species, than in Norway, where salmon dominates. But progress is still being made, and associated targets have been set in the 14th Five Year Plan (2021–25).

Increasing the efficiency of fishmeal and fish oil use in China will also ease global pressures on the supply and help protect juvenile fish. China is the world’s biggest consumer of fishmeal, with the largest part being used in aquaculture, and the second largest being fed to pigs. But the country only produces 400,000–700,000 tonnes of fishmeal a year – not even close to meeting domestic demand. Fishmeal imports have held steady since 2017, at about 1.4 million tonnes, but jumped to 1.82 million tonnes in 2021, with experts ascribing the change to the recovery in pig farming. The extra fishmeal came from the Americas and elsewhere in Asia.

Zhang Wenbo explains that China’s fishmeal and fish oil imports come from forage fish, caught specifically to be turned into fishmeal, and Peru is the main supplier. Relatively little of China’s fishmeal is made from feed-grade fish. “Imports of by-product processed fishmeal from Vietnam and Thailand have been increasing in recent years,” he said.

Minimizing the feed-grade fish catch

Cutting back on the use of feed-grade fish is good for the sustainable development of both wild fishing and aquaculture. It will also help protect already vulnerable ocean ecosystems. In 1959, fishing vessels in China’s Bohai Sea caught 420 kg of fish per net for every hour they worked. By 1993, that had fallen to 30 kg, and only 8 kg between 1998 and 2011. The above-mentioned research into China’s feed-grade fish catch found that a long-term stable total catch has masked trends including falling biomass and changes in end use.

The losses to biodiversity and ecological services cannot be measured in financial terms, and the fishing industry needs more than simply output. Wang Songlin, president and founder of the Qingdao Marine Conservation Society, believes the industry needs to work towards a balance of ecological, economic and social benefits. He told China Dialogue that even if total catch may still be the same by volume, the underlying destruction to the integrity of ecosystems and the environment should not be ignored.

Management of the sector in China has acquired a new ecological focus. Alongside the use of compound feeds, some provinces are providing fishery stewardship subsidies for the protection of rare and endangered species and for keeping down feed-grade fish catch volumes.

Protecting juvenile fish isn’t just a matter for China – it’s crucial for ocean ecosystems around the world. Rashid Sumalia said: “If you look at the economies and the ecology at the higher level, you don’t want to [catch feed-grade fish] because the losses are too high” to be sustainable. Sumalia acknowledges that many people rely on that fishing for their livelihoods but says: “We need to take it down as far as we can.”

Insect-based ingredients such as mealworm powder have been assessed by EFSA as safe for human consumption and can replace fishmeal in salmon feed, improving growth, reducing mortality, and lowering carbon footprint.

Content: World’s Largest Insect Farm to Open in France

Once fully operational, the massive vertical farm will produce 200,000 tonnes of insect-based ingredients a year.

Ÿnsect, one of the world’s largest insect rangers, is betting big on bugs to help push the world in a more sustainable direction.

Founded in 2011, the company is fast approaching its goal of opening the world’s largest insect farm and dramatically scaling up its operations. Located about an hour north of Paris, the state-of-the-art facility will leverage automated systems and vertical farming techniques to raise mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) and enable the production of over 200,000 tonnes of insect-based ingredients per year. The site, estimated to be completed by the end of 2022, will join two other Ÿnsect facilities already operational in France and the Netherlands.

"It’s an automated warehouse, very similar to an Amazon warehouse, where instead of storing stuff, we are storing live insects," Ÿnsect CEO and co-founder Antoine Hubert told Time last year. "There is a climate-control system which is highly complex to maintain temperature and moisture from zero to 30 meters high. All operations are automated. Anything that you do on [an insect] farm is done with robots."

Feed for Fish, Fertilizer for Plants, Burgers for Humans

For the past decade, mealworms cultivated at Ÿnsect’s farms have been turned into powders and oils that have become nutritional additives to pet and farm feeds. Thanks to a ruling last year by the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) that deemed mealworms safe for human consumption, the company has also begun selling its powders for shakes, cereal bars, pasta, and even alt-meat burgers. In addition, the shed shells of the rapidly growing mealworms are collected and sold as beneficial organic fertilizers to farmers.

According to MealFlour, a project that promotes mealworm farming as a way to battle malnutrition in Guatemala, a serving of mealworm powder is 55% protein, contains all essential amino and fatty acids, and has more iron than sirloin beef. Compared to the production of milk, pork, chicken, and beef, mealworms are also more sustainable and require fewer resources and energy.

While its recent forays into human foodstuffs have garnered attention, Ÿnsect's focus presently remains on helping to feed sustainably the animals that feed the world. For instance, aquaculture, like salmon farming, is a resource-intensive operation that uses both land-based crops (soy) and massive amounts of wild-caught fish to create what's known as fishmeal. With food production projected to have to grow by more than 70% by 2050 to meet demand, the overfishing of oceans to feed aquaculture operations is not a feasible option. Studies, such as a recent trial by NOAA, have shown that supplementing or even replacing fishmeal with insect- and plant-based foods holds promise for eliminating the need for wild-caught sources. According to Hubert, there are other positives as well.

"They [salmon] were reaching the maturity stage faster and eating less so they were avoiding a large quantity of feed," he told Fast Company in 2020. "There was less mortality so the farmers get more fish eventually than before... This also explains why we have a carbon-negative balance, because we are avoiding so many quantities of inputs to feed fish to have the same quantities of fish."

Hubert added to Fast Company that Ÿnsect has contracts worth more than $100 million with fish feed producers. This past year, with the acquisition of U.S.-based mealworm producer Jord, it also began entering new markets, such as the rapidly growing U.S. backyard chicken feed market.

A Record-Breaking Vertical Farm

One look at the animated video of Ÿnsect’s new facility up above and you can see why it’s been touted as an automated marvel. Mealworms will be reared by robots in stacked tubs stretching several stories tall. Unlike other insect food alternatives such as flies or crickets, mealworms do not hop or fly, allowing the company to maximize the space available.

In an effort to make sure the creatures are ethically farmed, Hubert reached out to philosophers from the Sorbonne University to judge their welfare. As he told The Guardian, the students determined that the mealworms had "more in common with mushroom-growing and hothousing vegetables" than with livestock.

"They have no brain in the strict sense of the word," he said. "We know they have a reflex reaction and they communicate and build intelligent structures, but nobody has shown they feel anything. However, what is important is to respect them as living organisms, which we do."

In addition to the new farm in France, Ÿnsect plans to continue to scale its operations with additional facilities, including a major site in the U.S. The biggest hurdle ahead, however, says Hubert, is making insects a normal part of everyday diets.

"I believe that the big challenge is accepting insects as part of the human diet," he told Authority Magazine. "A large part of the world's population eats insects, but we must be able to prove its properties and its benefits for the environment in order to reach more and have more impact!"

In the past, more than 300 people in Taiwan changed their name after turning around the famous sushi restaurant “Sushi Lang ” to launch the“ Free Salmon to Eat ” campaign, setting off a “salmon chaos ” in society, showing the people ’ s love for salmon.
With Netflix ’ s new ecological crisis documentary “Seaspiracy ”, which exposes the problems of antibiotics released by“ sea captive salmon ” and fears of pollution, as well as millions of salmon crammed in underwater cages, mercilessly attacked by fish lice, and violating the nature of wild migration, people can ’ t help but look at the issue of animal persecution. It has been proven to sense pain.
What are the cruelties hidden in the world-famous seafood “farmed salmon ”?
How can fish welfare be improved?
More than 300 people changed their name to "salmon" to eat! The salmon that Taiwanese love to eat is not wild at all.
As with many livestock farms on the land, salmon is of high economic value, so many aquaculture operators around the world use sea box nets to trap and breed salmon in captivity, and regularly feed them to pipelines in order to obtain huge "salmon gold" business opportunities.
If you look at Taiwan from a perspective, according to the statistics of customs imports and exports in 2020, the weight of locally imported “captive salmon ” alone is as high as 18,000 tons, with a total value of about NT $5.15 billion.
On the other hand, even if the world is hit by the epidemic in 2020, Norway, the world ’ s largest exporter of salmon, not only will the production of salmon still reach 1.1 million tons, but the export volume will also reach a record second high.
But with the release of Netflix ’ s new marine crisis documentary “Seaspiracy ” in 2023, the blood-soaked disclosure of the sea farming salmon behind the following three unknown dark sides, finally let the terrible“ salmon hell ” shake the world.
1.
High-density farmed salmon have nowhere to escape! Scales and fins are mercilessly devoured by sea lice parasites
Compared to free wild salmon, captive salmon are likely to be crowded together by the fish, constantly colliding, friction, conflict, and nowhere to hide, resulting in scales, kisses, and fins are broken, infectious anemia, spinal deformities and other symptoms, and are more likely to be parasitized by sea lice.
For example, a survey by the global animal lobby welfare organization Compassion in World Farming found that floating dead fish can be found everywhere in crowded salmon farms, and such a harsh living environment is simply a hotbed for the spread of disease.
What is even more frightening is that once the salmon is entangled in sea lice, the scales, skin tissue, surface mucus and blood on the body will soon become food for the parasites.
As the scales of the salmon gradually disappear, in addition to the pain of the body beginning to erode, the pain of infection in the wound or loss of immunity can also plunge them into the abyss of death.
For example, in the clip of "The Ocean Conspiracy", it directly captures the horror of the salmon being eaten alive by a parasite to the eyes, the limbs, and the body.
2.
Marine farmed salmon put into chemicals, antibiotics! Marine pollution affects ecological food chain
In order to solve the salmon nightmare, farmers have to put a lot of irritating chemicals and antibiotics into the box to remove sea lice and reduce the risk of disease in high-density breeding, or to increase the water temperature and try to kill sea lice.
But the pumps and containers used by the former to transport chemicals have undoubtedly made the salmon's sea cages smaller and tighter, while the temperature of the latter has already exceeded the range that the salmon can adapt to, and each of them has brought great pain to the salmon.
At the same time, antibiotics and pesticides flowing into the sea will of course lead to pollution of the surrounding environment, and the organic waste generated by captive salmon will also seriously affect the entire bottom ecology.
In April 2023, the environmental group Greenpeace accused Chile ’ s salmon farming industry of dumping sewage into the ocean, killing more than 5,000 tons of salmon from oxidation.
3.
Undersea cages violate the migratory nature of wild salmon! Millions of animals are ignored
Not only that, Scotland, the world ’ s third largest Atlantic salmon farming exporter, which supplies about 10% of Taiwan ’ s salmon imports each year, has also been raised by the farm animal protection group Compassion in World Farming (CIWF) at the end of 2020, pointing directly to the 22 farms of the local five largest salmon farming companies, and raising millions of salmon in the sea bottom in one breath, completely depriving them of their migratory nature.
Because the migratory nature of salmon has always been a mystery in the animal world, some studies have suggested that salmon can always find the "origin" by remembering the special smell of their birthplace, or by being guided by the magnetic fields of the Sun and Earth.
Regardless of the truth, the physiological structure of salmon is obviously sensitive to sensing the environment, judging the location, and even evading electric shocks in real time.
Therefore, allowing them to roam aimlessly in the box for many years is a kind of cruelty to the body and spirit, depriving the fish instinct of long-distance migration.
All the unhealthy salmon raised in captivity are eaten by humans!
Food chain security in jeopardy
In other words, the three major concerns of captive salmon at sea have caused more than 25% of Scotland ’ s fish populations to suffer and die before they are slaughtered, resulting in a huge waste of food and a complete disregard for animal welfare.
In addition, countless dead fish have been dumped directly in open barrels by Scottish farmers, allowing wild birds and other wildlife to come into contact for food, potentially endangering the safety of other ecological chains.
Salmon farming on land is more humane to the earth! Salmon business opportunities and marine conservation to create food sustainability
Fortunately, this traditional salmon farming method is expected to gradually come to an end.
Because the international company Atlantic Sapphire has been developing "land salmon farm" for 10 years, and in 2022, it invested nearly 4 billion US dollars (about 112 billion US dollars) to build the world's largest land salmon farm Bluehouse in Florida, the United States.
The biggest feature of the land salmon farm is the use of the Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) to effectively control the temperature, salinity, pH and oxygen content of the water body, and effectively eliminate carbon dioxide and filter waste, to ensure that the salmon are free from parasites and diseases, while reducing the possibility of marine pollution.
Johan Andreassen, CEO of Atlantic Sapphire: “Ten years ago no one believed that farming salmon on land was financially viable; now Atlantic Sapphire is finally proving that it works, so the question now is how much competition there will be and how much scale there will be in this industry. ”
In order to prove that land-based salmon farming will eventually become a trend in the marine industry, Atlantic Sapphire CEO Johan Andreassen is also looking further into the future, with an estimated 372,000 square meters of fish tanks on about 650,000 square meters of land by 2031, allowing land-based salmon to meet 41% of the annual salmon consumption in the United States.
Also thanks to Atlantic Sapphire, one of the world ’ s largest salmon producers, Norwegian company Grieg Seafood has entered into a joint venture with Årdal Aqua to build a 5,000-tonne annual land farm there.
Salmon Evolution, also from Norway, joined forces with Dongwon Industries, South Korea ’ s largest seafood company, in 2023 to expand its “salmon footprint ” to South Korea.
At the same time, Benchmark Genetics, an aquaculture company that has always strictly controlled the quality of salmon eggs, now sells up to 10% of its salmon eggs to the land-based farming industry to improve the yield and quality of “land-based captive salmon. ”
People from all walks of life, through their own efforts, hope to work for the welfare of salmon, no longer be poisoned by the lust of human words, even if they reproduce artificially, they can also maintain their physical and mental health, and achieve the true meaning of "sustainable food" on earth.
