plans for Open Blue to deliver the perfect fish to our global
customers said Shayne De Lima, Director of Corporate
Development at Open Blue Sea Farms.
We are thrilled to be working with such an exciting
company, especially given their innovative approach to
aquaculture and environmental sustainability, Dr David
Wright said.
Neptune helps our clients produce fish in the most
efficient and environmentally sustainable way, and it
has huge potential to expand into other aquaculture
opportunities such as shellfish and other fish species.
We are very lucky to be working with some of the most
exciting aquaculture companies in the world, while being
based here in Tasmania, Dr Wright said.
The relationship with our customers such as Marine
Harvest and Huon Aquaculture has been one of the
foundations for us to continue to grow and innovate with
our product.
Huon Aquaculture is widely recognised as one of the
most innovative aquaculture companies in the world, and
Marine Harvest is listed on the New York and Oslo stock
exchanges and is the largest producer in the world.

Calibrin-Z works by adsorbing
the V.p. bacterial toxin in the body,
thereby increasing the rate of survival
in a shrimp crop.
Studies have shown improvements in
survivability, up to 84 perecent versus
controls, when shrimp challenged with
the V.p. toxin were fed Calibrin-Z.
EMS is characterised by a high
mortality rate, often reaching 100 percent
within the first 30 days. The complete

discussed further.
Farmed fishes have the entire biological machinery of digestive
and metabolic enzymes, hormones, glucose transporters and
glucose sensing components, which are essential to use glucose
as a cellular energy currency. Nevertheless, certain divergence
in regulatory mechanism makes them less able to use digestible
forms of carbohydrates to meet energy requirements, when
compared to other livestock.
There are remarkable differences in carbohydrate utilisation
between and even within fish species linked to their diverse
feeding habits, anatomical features, physiology and rearing
habitats. Particularly, farmed carnivorous fishes such as salmon
and trout are considered to be less tolerant to carbohydrate rich
meals mainly due to slow blood glucose clearance.
Consequently, the dietary inclusion level and appropriate source
of carbohydrate is decided based on protein sparing without
any adverse effect on growth and physiology of the fish. The
maximum recommended levels of dietary carbohydrate inclusion
fall within 15-25 percent for salmonids and marine fish, while it
can go up to 50 percent for herbivorous and omnivorous species
(NRC, 2011).

Conclusion
The best results are obtained with the diets with three percent
HP. Inclusion of nine percent HP is surely too high to obtain
good results which confirms earlier findings with the ten percent
inclusion rate. Inclusion of three percent HP however, shows a
positive effect on growth and survival, resulting in the lowest FCR.
It is also worthwhile to mention that the inclusion of three percent
HP lowers the cost of the feed by ten percent compared to the
control diet.

Excited trout at feeding time make for turbulent waters at Pisciculture Jorgensen in Abbeville, Picardie,
France. The Jorgensen family originally began farming fish in Denmark in 1893 before moving the
business to France in the 1930s.
They have also enjoyed a long business relationship with the aquaculture equipment manufacturer
Faivre, who supply them with a great many of their tools of the trade - everything from water aerators
to fish graders.
Recently International Aquafeed visited three of the family's trout farms in and around Abbeville. You

The Blue Economy and along with the recent and various Trade
Agreements are enormous prospects for Mexico and the need
for capacity and capability building is crucial and is a major
challenge. Food Safety and Workplace Health and Safety are
essential elements amongst the main education needs. Without
these important foundations attracting the right investors/
investments will be difficult.
Like with all governments, there is a struggle with changing
from the typical evolution of departments of fisheries to employ
more aquaculture experts who have a broader training than just
capture fisheries but also in aquaculture, in conservation, and in
changing ecosystems. There is need for a new paradigm of the
roles.
Dr. Garza de Yta is confident that Mexico is on the right
pathway but says There is still much work to be done but the
future for Mexico and Aquaculture is very promising.

COMMON CARP
Myxozoan parasites in common carp Importance for aquaculture, ongoing
research and future perspectives
by Astrid Holzer & Ashlie Hartigan, Laboratory of Fish Protistology, Institute of Parasitology, Biology
Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences, 37005 Cesk Budejovice, Czech Republic
ommon carp, Cyprinus carpio is one
of the oldest domesticated species of
fish for food production. Carp culture
in China dates back to the 5th century
BC, while the earliest attempts in
Europe were made during the Roman
Empire. Considered a delicacy by the
Romans, modern carp has lost some
of its exquisiteness but has acquired
outstanding importance in freshwater aquaculture, with currently
about 14 percent of total global production, over 7.1 million
tonnes per year.
Asia is the largest producer with China claiming 60 percent
of the worlds production while the European market is much
smaller. Seven out of the top ten species of farmed fish species
are carp and Common carp production continues to increase
by an average global rate of over 10 percent per year. Benefits
of carp aquaculture include minimal feed requirements, hardy
species able to survive a variety of temperatures and water
conditions, high cost-benefit ratio as intensive culture year round
is not a problem with minimal labor.
In Central Europe, carp ponds are the center of attention at
the end of the year, when the season for fallowing the ponds
and marketing their meaty carp (Figure 1) arrives so that a
favourite Christmas dish lands on the plate in time. But not

Potential for
reservoirs
Reservoirs,
or man-made
lakes are huge water bodies that are
created primarily for irrigation, power
generation and other water resource
development purposes. India has 19,
370 reservoirs spread over 16 states and
this is expected to increase due to the
execution of various water projects in
the country.
The reservoirs of India have a
combined surface area of 3.25 million
hectares, mostly in the tropical zone,
which makes them the countrys most
important inland water resource, with
huge untapped potential.
Cage culture is an alternative to inland
pond culture, whereby existing water
resources are used to increase fish
production, and the fish are enclosed
in a cage allowing the water to pass
freely between the fish. The young fish
and other aquatic species are kept, fed
and grown to marketable size in these
cages, which are made of high-density
polyethylene.
Now cage fish farming started in the
reservoirs of states like Tamil Nadu,
Jharkhand, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala,
Odessa, Karnataka, West Bengal,
Chhattisgarh, Assam, Tripura, Manipur,
Bihar, Srinagar (J&K), Uttar Pradesh,
Andhra Pradesh, as well as Telangana, to
name but a few.
Present status
In India cage culture in inland water bodies was initiated for the first time in air breathing fishes in
swamps, for raising major carps in running water in Jamuna and Ganga at Allahabad and for raising carps,
snakeheads and tilapia in lentic water bodies of Karnataka. Thereafter, the cages have been used for rearing
fry in many reservoirs and floodplain wetlands to produce advanced fingerlings for stocking main water
bodies.
The Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute (CIFRI), Barrackpore, Kolkata has taken lead role in
popularising fish rearing in net cages in freshwaters especially in reservoirs as well as wetlands in the
country.

Culture practices
Species cultured: The choice of species depends to a large extent on availability of fish seed, feed and market
demand. However, the main desirable characteristics of the candidate species for cage culture are potential for fast
growth, high survival, capacity to withstand overcrowding, rapid adoption to artificial feeds, high-feed conversion
rate, quality flesh and resistance to diseases. At present, cage farming in India predominantly includes the farming of
sutchi catfish, Pangasius hypophthalmus and Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus.
Stocking density: The number of fishes that can be stocked in cage is variable and depends on carrying capacity of
the water, water exchange, species of fishes and quantity and quality of supplementary feed input. In each cage (6m
x 4m x 4m size) 5 000 fingerlings are stoking and allow them to grow for 8 10 months period by adopting proper
management methods. Depending on the farmers choice, some cages allow for tilapia fish culture and some cages
allow for pangas catfish to be cultured separately.
Feed & feeding methods: Floating pellet feed is given to the fish that are grown in cages. The feed is in different
sizes i.e. starter, grower and finisher with varying crude protein levels. Feeding is done twice a day i.e. morning and
evening.
Production level: At the end of the culture period, which ranges from eight to ten months, three to five tonnes of
fish are produced just from one cage compartment i.e. 6m x 4m x 4m size. Generally each battery consists of 12 cage

The most important factor for achieving healthy fish is to have healthy water. Therefore, controlling the
concentration of oxygen dissolved in water is crucial in aquaculture. Maintaining the right level of oxygen
in water improves utilisation of feed, reduces fish mortality and reduces the need for vaccination and
antibiotics.
This is particularly important in sea cages. Though some have sufficient oxygen levels from surrounding
seawater, there are instances where this is not the case particularly in locations experiencing rising water
temperatures that contain low levels of oxygen. As there is lower solubility of oxygen at higher water
temperatures, this situation becomes more critical during summer months than in winter.

Nutriad supports Aquaculture
India
Aqua India 2016, a bi-annual event organised by the Indian
Society of Aquaculture Professionals (SAP), was held this year
in Vishakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh - January 29-30. Nutriad
showed its commitment to the Indian Aquaculture Industry
through a Gold Sponsorship for the event. The conference
focused on the theme of Indian Aquaculture: Assuming
Responsibilities & Adapting to Changes.
Seafood exports from India have increased fivefold in the
last 15 years reaching 6.5 billion USD, converting India into the
fourth global seafood exporter, said Ms Leena Nair, chairman
of Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA).
67 percent of the export value is shrimp of which 77 percent is
farmed. Increased production costs and diseases are likely to slow
Indians shrimp production in 2016.
A more than 10 percent production decline due to flooding

Lawrie Stove, Founder, AquaMoor
Following this very comprehensive address from Mr
Jeffrey, the next speaker to take the stand was Lawrie
Stove. Mr Stove, who is the founder of AquaMoor Limited,
a company focused on developing innovative mooring technologies
for niche applications, discussed catenary chain moorings.
He spoke in most detail about chain moorings in more exposed
situations, such as those in more aggressive wave climates, or a
once-in-ten-years storm event, and their effects on salmon cages and
floating fish farms.
Mr Stove made his point by describing a product model that
presents an ideal solution. His model would be able to withstand
peak loads of between roughly 60kN and 95kN of waves and
currents.
Waves can often make for a good site as, according to Mr Stove,
water quality improves with currents, ie, the mix of water is
better. However, the flipside of the better water quality is that these
conditions cause increased rates of abrasion, wear and tear, as well
as damage to the seabed, possibly to the anchor and its touchdown
point, due to drag from high waves with unmanaged loads, adding
that the correct chains can take up to 75 percent of the load in
AquaMoors own models.
In conclusion, Mr Stove stated that Shock movements of storms
and their waves can cause damage and breakages in the chains of
feed barges and pens. He also imparted that one solution presented
by AquaMoor is the addition of extra elastomers, which provide
better management of loads and so reduce the mooring footprint and
the risk of damage and breakages.
Shock absorbers are also needed more, according to Mr Stove,
and industry specific anchor designs and tailored technology also
need to be developed for short-scope moorings. The track record of
AquaMoors products in increasing safety on working platforms, as
well as in reducing the need to evacuate feed barges prematurely, are
the two key commercial considerations that Mr Stove concluded his
address with.
Dr Arne Fredheim, Research Director, Department of
Aquaculture Technology, SINTEF
Shortly after Mr Stoves address, the next speaker to share his
knowledge with the assembled audience was Dr Arne Fredheim,
who is the current Research Director for the Department of
Aquaculture Technology at SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture
and the Adjunct Professor at the Centre for Autonomous Marine
Operations and Systems, Department of Marine Technology at the
Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
Dr Fredheims first point in his discussion was, Agriculture:
Volume worldwide is plants, value is in finfish and molluscs.
Whilst discussing this topic, he described how valuable types of
finfish production are conducted by SINTEF both in Scotland and in
Norway and he listed their volumes in descending order from large
to small: Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, Japanese amberjack, silver
salmon, gilthead seabream, European seabass and then Japanese
seabass.
The next generation of offshore fish farms was Dr Fredheims
next key point for discussion. He listed the three biggest problems
that face the current and next generations
of ocean farmers as: sealice, sealice and
sealice. He cited the examples of SalMar
-who currently invest UK50-60m per
site - and Nordlaks, both of whom have
recently implemented anti-sealice skirts on
their rectangular structured pens.
Like Mr Stove previously, Dr
Fredheim discussed the hazards
of so-called good sites. The main issue is that once the sites have
been chosen, the good waves and currents can make installation
and maintenance even more challenging. At present, two wave
buoys - one at a Marine Harvest site and the other at a SalMar site are on exposed sites gathering data. Dr Fredheim also stressed that
Sites also need good oxygen and water quality, with in some cases
200,000 fish in 10 cages all eating concurrently, which means that a
lot of oxygen is needed.
The further farming is conducted offshore, the more the operations
will be like ordinary maritime operations but as aquaculture is with
live animals at all times, fish behaviour and welfare is one of the
paramount areas of importance.
Dr Fredheim concluded by stating that he believes that large
capital investments are needed in the blue economy and in seafood
production, adding that there was great interest and potential in
cross-blue sector collaboration, what with currently low oil prices.
Jason Cleaversmith, Scottish Aquaculture Innovation Centre
(SAIC)
The next speaker to address the audience at Oceanology
International 2016 was Jason Cleaversmith. Following the beginning
of his association with the Scottish Aquaculture Innovation Centre
(SAIC) in April 2015, Mr Cleaversmith was given a mandate to help
transform the relationship between industry and academia, whilst
concurrently facilitating economic growth for the aquaculture sector.
Mr Cleaversmiths key point of discussion was an overview of the
projects that the SAIC are currently undertaking. At only 18 months
old, the SAIC currently have nine active projects worth UK9.35m,
having currently invested around UK2.4m, whilst also investing
UK1.3m capital equipment investment in the Higher Education
Institute (HEI) network. Twenty SAIC scholars and joint PhD
students have to date been invested in.
The next topic that Mr Cleaversmith discussed was how SAIC
are looking for projects/bolt-on projects as well as currently being
open to open knowledge transfers, with avenues currently open with
Norwegian, Chilean and Faroe Islands salmon farming. He also
described how SAIC plan to invest a further UK11million over the
next five years and will continue to do their utmost to help remove
industry-identified bottlenecks.
Mr Cleaversmith concluded his address by stressing that SAIC
will continue to support research into EPA/DHA and other protein
sources and sustainable feeds. They then
plan to utilise this research to make the
manufacturing process more efficient with
less raw material input and possibly lower
costs, with more efficient FCR rates.

announcement took place in our stand for the Global Aquaculture Industry.
It was that the establishment of Aquaculture Without Frontiers UK had taken
place. In Charge of the announcement was Roy Palmer, director of AWF and
Roger Gilbert, director of International Aquafeed magazine. With no doubt
it was a step forward to the development of Aquaculture within the United
Kingdom, as this organisation will be focused on the main aspects affecting the
Aquaculture and its challenges in that important market.
As the event closed, a big party took place in a nearby disco, with a great
dinner, drinks and music that fitted the moment perfectly. The place and
atmosphere were amazing and helped us all to relax a little and look forward to
the future of aquaculture in the US and the next edition of Aquaculture America.

ast November, GMV had to say goodbye to two very involved board members. Paul den
Ouden and Sander Schwartz made room for two new board members. One of these new
board members is Mr Ren Smulders, CCO at KSE Process Technology.
Result-oriented and a strategic approach are qualities of Ren on what we can count on
within GMV in the coming years, said Jacqueline van Oosten - FME.
Rene Smulders
Within the feed sector, Ren is surely not unknown. As in the entire agrifood sector, there
are many developments and there is plenty of work to do. Ren likes to contribute to rejuvenate
GMV and bringing it a step further.
Ren is responsible for the sections Biobased and Meat & Feed within the GMV board.
It is important to look further into the agrifood chain than just our own link in the chain,
said Ren Smulders.
By looking along the entire chain we can efficiently and effectively deal and solve the
challenges in the sector. This should ultimately result in a better cooperating chain and an
optimised process from seed to meat.
Alric Blake, Alltech CEO, commented, We are delighted to have Fergal leading
the team here in the UK. Fergal possesses huge market knowledge and has a long track record
in the agricultural arena. I have every confidence Fergal will lead our sales team in providing
outstanding service to our customers across the UK and Northern Ireland.
