Brief:
Species targeted for aquaculture in this post : red tilapia, salmon, shellfish, Atlantic blufin tuna, shrimp.
Innovation and research development efforts are in :
- feed from starch wastewater,
- land based salmon farming,
- land based tuna farming,
- shellfish hatcheries scaling-up,
- disease residue clean-up,
Salmon
Feed ingredient for farmed salmon
On the 8 June 2021, EIT FOOD (European institute of innovation and technology) published a post announcing CEWATECH as one of SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE COMPETITION winners, CEWATECH is a fish feed for salmon that contains protein from recycled wastewater in the starch industry.
CAWATECH aim to replace the use of fish-meal and soybean meal.
Land based salmon farming
On the 8 June 2021, EIT FOOD (European institute of innovation and technology) published a post announcing JUST ADD WATER as one of SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE COMPETITION winners, JUST ADD WATER is a project lead by FISHFROM LTD, according to their website they are developing a technology for land based salmon farming.
JUST ADD WATER project will include many components :
- recirculating aquaculture systems,
- ideal growing conditions,
- powered by renewable energy,
- sustainable fish feed,
- data systems,
The goal is to replace sea cage and provide predictable high quality supply of fresh salmon.
Shellfish
On the 8 June 2021, EIT FOOD (European institute of innovation and technology) published a post announcing DELTA FUTURO as one of SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE COMPETITION winners, DELTA FUTURO is a shellfish farming system with the goal of scaling up hatcheries and improving seed availability for farmers.
DELTA FUTURO wants to respond to the lack of high quality manila clams.
Atlantic blufin tuna
On the 8 June 2021, EIT FOOD (European institute of innovation and technology) published a post announcing NEXT TUNA as one of SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE COMPETITION winners, NEXT TUNA is a project that seek to reproduce Atlantic blufin tuna in a land-based recirculating aquaculture system.
According to their website, they will plan and build the first qua farm to breed Atlantic blufin tuna. They targeting a USD 40 billion market with the goal to provide a sustainable source of this specie in growing demand.
Shrimp
One of Detroit business grant program 2021 second quarter winners is motor city sea farm LLC, an aquaculture business that sells shrimp for retail and wholesale. According to their website their production cycle include those steps :
- 12 days shrimp purchase from a hatchery in Florida,
- the shrimp are raised for 30 days in a nursery,
- the shrimp are then transferred to water tanks with aquarium salt,
- the shrimp are fed a high protein pellet food daily for 130 days,
we do not know about the investment needed but production cycle is (12+30+130)=172 about 6 months.
Red tilapia
On the 7 April 2021, Philippines department of agriculture organized the first agribusiness pitch challenge and announced DARYL GUMACAL as the grand prize winner with about $800 award for his project RED TILAPIA NURSERY AND GROW OUT.
Fish health
On the 8 June 2021, EIT FOOD (European institute of innovation and technology) published a post announcing breeze as one of SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE COMPETITION winners, breeze is a project that aims to solve the residue problem due to aquaculture sea lice disease treatment.
BREEZE include :
- data mining,
- development of acoustic technology,
- biological clean-up of residues.
