Key Issues in aquaculture Aquaculture limited by availability of fishmeal from marine sources (new feed ingredients are vital) Aquaculture limited by availability of fishmeal from marine sources (new feed ingredients are vital) Environmental impact of fish farming is a major concern due to possible pollutants such as organic matter, Phosphorous and Nitrogen Environmental impact of fish farming is a major concern due to possible pollutants such as organic matter, Phosphorous and Nitrogen Welfare of fish is of consumer interest. Disease, health and quality of fish is paramount Welfare of fish is of consumer interest. Disease, health and quality of fish is paramount Traceability of production from ‘farm to fork’ and quality of products i.e. taste, texture, colour is important Traceability of production from ‘farm to fork’ and quality of products i.e. taste, texture, colour is important Genetic engineering, GMO’s is of much concern Genetic engineering, GMO’s is of much concern Escape of farmed fish and breeding with wild fish stock is an issue Escape of farmed fish and breeding with wild fish stock is an issue
