1 Food From the Ocean: Sustainable Aquaculture Dr Simon Davies University of Plymouth

2 The blue planet Aquatic environment Exceeds 70% of land area

3 Traditional capture fisheries is in serious decline and even in states of collapse throughout the world e.g. cod fisheries in North sea and Canada

4 Growth of global population and food production between 2000’s

5 Aquaculture is the fastest growing sector of global agri-business

6 Projected requirements for food grade fisheries production based on 1989 availabillity

7 Total Fisheries Aquaculture World fisheries & aquaculture production FAO, 2005

8 Quantity of 2005 world aquaculture production by species category ( million metric tonnes) FAO, 2005 10,1 Mt 10,7 Mt 2,3 Mt 1,65 MT 1,0 MT 19,8 Mt

9 World aquaculture production by species category Freshwater fishes Miscellaneous Marine fishes Crustaceans Diadromous fishes Aquatic plants Molluscs FAO, 2005

10 Major aquaculture producing continents Asia Europe North-America South-America FAO, 2005 Africa PR China

11 Types of aquaculture systems

12 Raceways Yield Yield 15-20,000 lbs for every 500 gallon/min flow. 15-20,000 lbs for every 500 gallon/min flow. Earthen Raceway Concrete Raceway

13 Levee Ponds

14 Closed system-recirculation

15 Brood Tanks

16 Filtered Water

17 Hatching Troughs

19 Sea cage farming of fish is common

20 From China to Norway to Chile

21 Off-shore deep water fish farm

22 Different phases in aquaculture culture procedure market stocking ongrowing extensive intensive fry postlarvae seed larvae eggs sperm embryos broodstock spawners wild market hatchery - algae - rotifers - artemia

23 Traditional Aquaculture Conception Farmed Salmon

25 Atlantic salmon life-cycle

26 Salmon hatchery stages eggs Alevins

27 Salmon parr -smolt Parr Smolt

28 Production size salmon

29 Scottish sea cage farming

30 Where ever it is practiced, net-cage salmon farming is controversial and raises serious environmental concerns.

31 New fish species for aquaculture

32 Sea bass (cultured in the Mediterranean) –the future?

33 Gilthead sea bream raised in Europe Gilthead sea bream raised in Europe

34 Norwegian cod farming has developed rapidly

35 Flatfish farming in Scotland, Norway & USA

36 Look out for Barrumundi- The Australian bass is coming!!

37 Basa (China sole) reared in Vietnam A new farmed species from the Mekon delta exported to the west

38 Aquaculture in United States NORTH CENTRAL NORTHEASTERN SOUTHERN WESTERN TROPICAL & SUBTROPICAL Perch Striped Bass Tilapia Catfish Striped Bass Tilapia TroutSalmonShellfish Striped Bass Tilapia Ornamentals, Food and Shellfish Salmon Shellfish Striped Bass

39 Fish species in USA Cobia Cobia Flounder Flounder Red Drum Red Drum Snapper Snapper Oysters Oysters

40 Ornamental Species Goldfish Goldfish Angelfish Angelfish Crustaceans Crustaceans Guppies Guppies South American Catfish South American Catfish Clown fish Clown fish 100s more 100s more

41 Production of striped bass in USA

42 Cobia (A new species) New technology

43 Diverse aquaculture in Hawaii

44 Shrimp farming- A global Industry

45 High intensity Shrimp farming in Hawaii Closed and open pond rearing

46 Shrimp production in tropics Healthy White spot disease

47 Environmental and Socio-economic issues of shrimp farming Jobs & wealth creation Habitatdestruction

48 Tilapia- The aquatic chicken?

49 Tilapia suited to high density aquaculture

50 Tilapia rearing systems

51 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

52 Alternate Protein Sources to Fish Meal Plantby-products Animal by-products

53 Feed technology & innovation

54 Diseases in Fish Major problems arise due to infectious disease Major problems arise due to infectious disease Bacterial, viral and fungal as well as parasites Bacterial, viral and fungal as well as parasites Production diseases due to stress and intensity of production Production diseases due to stress and intensity of production Treatments with antibiotics, drugs and vaccines are sometimes required Treatments with antibiotics, drugs and vaccines are sometimes required Research and development is very important for improved diagnosis and prevention Research and development is very important for improved diagnosis and prevention

55 Infectious diseases of fish

56 Classical Skeletal Deformities in Fish

57 Genetic modification Insertion of genes for growth, disease resistance, colour etc.

58 Eel farming in Europe A high value product Anguila anguila- European eel

59 Stages of development of eel Larval stage Glass eel-elver juveniles

60 Smoked eel products Land based eel farm Fresh eels

61 Fish farms in biospheres and in space by 2100

62 Aquaponics- Plant and Fish culture Trout and lettuce growing in a closed system in Boston, USA
