Wild fish used as aquafeeds could be redirected towards human consumption to support sustainable marine resource use. Here we use mass-balance fish-in/fish-out ratio approaches to assess nutrient retention in salmon farming and identify scenarios that provide more nutrient-rich food to people. Using data on Norway’s salmon farms, our study revealed that six of nine dietary nutrients had higher yields in wild fish used for feeds, such as anchovies and mackerel, than in farmed salmon production...

Real-world complexities of nearshore integrated multi-trophic aquaculture in crowded coastal environments See

The expansion of coastal aquaculture is challenged by a lack of coastal space and competition from maritime activities. In the Mediterranean Sea, commercial aquaculture in a multiple-use port in Marsaxlokk Bay, Malta, encounters complex natural and anthropogenic interactions. Intermittent water currents observed near the fish cages were not explained by atmospheric forcing but corresponded to vessel movements within the vicinity. At farm-level, cage management practices such as cohort dynamic...

Genes, 10 (9), Art. No.: 673. https://doi.org/10.3390/genes10090673 See

Finding outlier loci underlying local adaptation is challenging and is best approached by suitable sampling design and rigorous method selection. In this study, we aimed to detect outlier loci (single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs) at the local scale by using Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis), a drought resistant conifer that has colonized many habitats in the Mediterranean Basin, as the model species. We used a nested sampling approach that considered replicated altitudinal gradients for three...

Viruses, 13 (12), Art. No.: 2549. https://doi.org/10.3390/v13122549 See

Viral disease poses a major barrier to sustainable aquaculture, with outbreaks causing large economic losses and growing concerns for fish welfare. Genomic epidemiology can support disease control by providing rapid inferences on viral evolution and disease transmission. In this study, genomic epidemiology was used to investigate salmonid alphavirus (SAV), the causative agent of pancreas disease (PD) in Atlantic salmon. Our aim was to reconstruct SAV subtype-2 (SAV2) diversity and transmissio...

The British Standards Institution's Publicly Available Specification 440 (PAS 440) provides a Responsible Innovation Framework (RIF) that companies can use to continuously monitor the societal, environmental and health benefits and risks of their innovations, as well as relevant changes to the supply chain and regulations. PAS 440 is intended to help companies achieve the benefits of innovation in a timely manner and avoid any potential harm or unintended misuse of a new product, process or s...
