The Anchovy Effect: Emerging Insights into Aquaculture’s Evolving Feed Landscape Fish n' Bits - The Aquaculture Data Intelligence Podcast

How will the recent reopening of the Peruvian anchovy fishery impact global aquaculture and the burgeoning alternative ingredients sector? This week we’re discussing the crucial developments in the fish feed industry, particularly focusing on fish oil and fish meal. With the anchovy fishery resuming and a quota set at 2.4 million metric tons—more than double last year’s—there's potential relief in sight for the high costs that have burdened fish farmers due to a record El Nino event. However, this episode goes beyond the headlines, exploring how the scarcity has propelled innovations in algae and insect-derived feeds. Tony provides listeners with insights into the algae oil successes, the growing interest from major biotech firms, and the steady progress within the insect farming sector. If you’re looking to understand how these dynamics could reshape aquaculture’s future, this episode promises a comprehensive overview.
