Creoso - welcome
This editorial is being written on St Davids day (March 1st), the patron
Saint of my native Wales so the welcome in Welsh above is so apt.
However, I did find the trade show rather subdued this year with a noticeable lack of detail and
information about products and what appeared to be scaled- down stands and fewer personnel
representing organisations and industry. It is of course a very American event but I was disappointed by the degree of international attendance as this would be an excellent opportunity to
forge business and create synergy between nations engaged in aquaculture.
It would certainly have been good to see a more Asian presence as Seattle is within reasonable
reach of Asia and China especially. Hopefully, an improved economic up turn could lead to a
more prominent event in New Orleans in 2015, where it should be a few degrees warmer for
most of us.
For this spring issue we report on a number of interesting developments in the aquaculture feed
sector with news on the inclusion of animal by-products that are becoming important again in Europe.
Also we report on the algal scene with a feature entitled Microalgae and aquaculture: - feed and
cycle management by Thomas Wencker, Regina Storandt, Dr Peter Waldeck (all IGV Biotech),
Janine Dinske (Terra Urbana GmbH), Wilfried Lehmann (Spezialfuttermittelwerk Beeskow
GmbH).
Also we feature an article entitled Effect of Different Sources and Levels of some Dietary
Biological Additives on Feed Utilization by Nile Tilapia Fish by Abdelhamid, A.M. Animal
Production Deptartment, Facilty of Agriculture, Al-Mansourah University, Al-Mansourah, Egypt;
and M.E.A. Seden and O.A. Zenhom, Central Laboratory for Aquaculture Research, Abbasa,
Abo-Hammad, Egypt.
The holistic approach to automation and moisture control technology in aquafeed mills by
Yannks Christodoulou, President, Agentis Innovations, Bangsue, Bangkok, Thailand, complements
our technology sector.
Trout focus
Our special coverage of trout as the fish focus is timely as this industry has declined so much in
the UK due to financial pressures and increasing environmental constraints. This is a real pity since
its my favourite fresh water fish for eating with a delicate flavour, quality and texture.
Indeed the Idaho trout farms in the US are well established and I tasted a lovely white fleshed fish in
Seattle since in the American market dietary pigments are not commonly used for trout production.
On the other hand there is much potential for the UK aquaculture industry as a whole to expand
(unless of course our Scottish cousins elect to separate in September) England and Wales may
benefit from developments in land-based systems with investments in recirculation systems for
novel candidate species and also a growing interest in small sector aquaponics.
I hope you enjoy reading this issue and keep to date with current news and features that assist
your businesses and interests. Aquaculture is certainly going to expand towards 2020 with a clear
need to address growing production in terms of sustainability and to meet the quality of products
through better feed and health management.

2022 relating to increased

in rebuilding plans in a number
of countries
The Sub-Committee emphasised the importance of a transparent, robust and harmonized
trading system, with measures
applied in a transparent, consistent and non-discriminatory
manner in accordance with
applicable WTO rules. Some
members expressed concern
about the growing inequality
in fish trade, in particular along
the value-chain with the low
share of retail prices obtained
by fish producers, in particular small-scale fishermen and
fish farmers. To that end the
Sub-Committee suppor ted
FAOs work on the value-chain
analysis of international fish
trade conducted 2009-2012.
Further analysis of the relationship between stakeholders
in the value-chain, including
how prices and margins vary
according to the relative
position in the chain, would be
beneficial
The issue of unilateral trade
measures and fisheries subsidies
was raised by some members.
Many members stressed that
any unilateral measures should
be applied consistently with the
relevant WTO agreements. It
was underlined that enhanced
dialogue and consultation
among countries would benefit
international trade
In the area of effects of ecolabelling schemes on fisheries the Sub-Committee
expressed concerns about
a range of issues relating to
schemes, including their potential to create trade restrictions
and generate increased costs.
They noted the importance of
FAOs cooperation with WTO
and other intergovernmental
organisations in providing technical advice on eco-labelling
schemes and their impact on
international seafood trade.
Amongst other issues the
Sub-Committee agreed that
more research is needed on
the impact of eco-labels on
the sustainability of fisheries

Feeding a Growing
Human Population
in an Efficient, Safe
and EnvironmentallyFriendly Manner
As the world population continues to increase, food security
on a global scale is becoming a
key priority. Feeding nine billion
people by 2050 represents a
formidable challenge. Along with
population growth, economic
growth and the rise of the middle class in several countries are
leading to significant increase in
the demand for food products of
animal origins. Global consumption of animal food products
is projected to rise 73 percent
by 2050, while dairy demand is
expected to grow by 58 percent
from current levels (FAO, 2011).
The FAO estimates that the
world needs to boost output of
cereals by 1 billion tonnes and
produce 200 million extra tonnes
of livestock products a year by
2050 to feed a growing population who is consuming increasing
amount of animal food products.
In this context, livestock production, including aquaculture, should
use natural resources more
efficiently to meet ever-growing
demand. Animal diets should
increasingly be based on the
valorization of food resources
deemed unsuitable (or less desirable) for human consumption.
However, we must also ensure
that animal food products are
safe, nutritious and health promoting, while produced in a manner that is ethical and financially
and environmentally viable.
Agricultural commodities (grains
and oilseeds) are increasingly
processed to extract nutrients
and resources for human use
(e.g. starch, proteins, bio-fuels).
There is considerable potential
to add value to the diverse coproducts generated by agriculture,
food and bio-fuel industries, by
generating novel feeds that fit
the needs of the animal industry.
Moreover, it is estimated that
about 97% of all agricultural and
food waste is plowed back in the
field, land-filled or incinerated.
While efforts to compost or find
industrial uses for wastes are
underway, it is widely agreed that
the valorization of co-products
and agricultural, industrial and
food wastes through their use
as feeds for farm and companion animals represents a more
sustainable option since valuable
(and increasingly expensive) nutrients can be more meaningfully
recovered and used.
Valorization of wastes and coproducts generated by agriculture,
food and bio-fuel industries as
animal feed resources represents
nonetheless important challenges,
including (1) variability in the
availability, chemical composition
and nutritional composition of
these potential feed resources,
(2) food safety and public health
(e.g. contamination with pathogens and deleterious substances),
(3) regulations governing use of
co-products and (4) logistics and
economics (cost/benefit).
A number of innovative technologies are available to address some
of these challenges. Research
and the development and adoption of new technologies has over
the past several decades greatly
enhanced livestock production
by improving efficiency of dietary
resource use, the health and welfare of animals and reducing the
output of waste per unit of food
product produced. Stakeholders
of the industry must continue to
work together to address the
major challenges of efficiently and
ethically meeting the needs of
growing and increasingly affluent
human population.

Generally, rendered poultry by-products
are important sources of protein and energy.
The enzymatic hydrolysis is widely used
to improve and enhance nutritional and functional properties of feedstuff. During the
enzymatical hydrolyses poultry protein is converted into free amino acids, short peptides
and small molecular proteins.
Based on their good functional properties
and nutritive value, these ingredients are able
to replace or complete fishmeal-based diets
in fish and shrimp feed. (Aguila et al., 2007;
Huong et al., 2012).
Several studies have described the antioxidant activity of protein hydrolysates from
chicken (Wu et al., 2005; Rosa et al., 2008),
tuna liver (Je et al., 2009), sardinelle by-products (Bougatef et al., 2010), backbone of Baltic
cod (Zelechowska et al., 2010) and marine
skin gelatins (Alemn et al., 2011).
Furthermore, free amino acid and small
molecular weight compounds released during
the hydrolysis might also act as feed attractants for shrimps, increasing feed intake, weight
gain and enhance shrimp immunity (Hardy,
1991).
When shrimp are exposed to high ammonia and nitrite concentration in water, the
immune response is depressed and mortality
is increased.
Hence, robust and healthy shrimp show
a higher immunity resistance by expressing
typical immune parameters, such as hemolymp protein, total hemocyte cell count,
phenol oxidase activity and percentage of
oxyhemocyanin (live cell hemocyte) than
weaker ones.
Althought L. vannamei can adapt to a wide
range of salinity, shrimps are more susceptible
to ammonia toxicity. Shrimps under low salinity spend more energy to compensate their
additional energy demand for regulation of
the osmotic pressure (osmoregulation)(Liu
Chun-Hung et al., 2004; Li et al., 2007).
The results are in accordance with previous studies by Kvale et al. (2002) with predigested protein in Atlantic halibut and Cahu
et al. (1999) describing effects of hydrolysed
protein in sea bass, revealing that survival in
fish can be improved by supplementing (fish)
protein hydrolysates in the diet.
In conclusion, poultry hydrolysates are
able to enhance stress resistance/tolerance in
Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)
under salinity change, chemical stress and
disease challenge.
The immune responses of shrimp
after challenged with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) showed that the
group of shrimp fed hydrolysed poultry
products had better immune response
than control. The mortality rate was 100
percent after 72 hours in all treatments
(see Figure 8).

Therefore, the core issue of the presented project is to find a feed recipe with a
reduced content of fish raw material via the
replacement with microalgae biomass. As the
protein content is naturally high in microalgae
compared to other crops, the first screening
has concentrated on algae species with a high
lipid content, a suitable fatty acid composition
and good growth properties under limited
nutrient concentrations, which is needed for
contaminant inhibition.
Within a group of the species Chlorella,
Scenedesmus and Ankistrodesmus, the sickleshaped green algae species Selenastrum was
selected. The screening has been done in a
sterile bubble column laboratory screening
system type LWS 05/80 with four parallel

FEATURE
Elegance of design
The newly launched range offers laboratory grade, vertical column photobioreactors capable of growing different strains of
algae for research, aquaculture and education
purposes with a focus on biomass quality, reliability and elegance of design.
Stand-alone, wall-mounted or hanging
units grow microalgae under controlled agitation and are designed to ensure that all the
user needs to do is throw in their growth
media and algae of choice, plug them in and
they are good to go.
To date, the bubble columns have successfully
grown freshwater, brackish and saltwater strains
(natural and genetically modified) including:
Nannochloropsis salina
Nannochloropsis oculata
Tetraselmis suecica
Tetraselmis chuii
Isochrysis galbana
Thalassiosira pseudonana
Phaeodactylum tricornutum
Emiliania huxleyi
Chlorella salina
Chlorella vulgaris
Chlorella sorokiniana
March-April 2014 | INTERNATIONAL AQUAFEED | 23
Dunaliella salina
Ostreococcus tauri
Botryococcus braunii
Rhinomonas reticulate
Pavlova lutheri
Arthrospira platensis
They have all been grown to cell densities
well over 107 cells per ml.
Whole culture harvesting is achieved
through a tap at the bottom, while smaller
volumes for quality control monitoring can
be drawn off from the middle of the column.

Our Mission

New
Rapid advances in molecular biology and
genome sequencing are beginning to
transform breeding programs, disease
control, and feed development. Xelect is
a spin-out company from the University of St Andrews in Scotland
that was setup to bring powerful genetic technologies within the
reach of every company in the global aquaculture supply chain. The
company is a pioneer in the relatively new field of marker assisted
selection for broodstock improvement. Our lead product is an assay
for genetic variation in two genes involved in protein turnover and
muscle development which can be used to select Atlantic salmon
broodstock producing offspring with 3.6% higher fillet yield relative to
unselected fish, worth around
500/tonne at current prices.
The markers have been validated in thousands of salmon
from three major producers in
Europe and Chile and licenced
to SalmoBreed A/S and
Landcatch Natural Selection.
We support our customers
with a fast and efficient service to identify broodstock for
breeding.
Xelect has an in house multi-species research program
which is developing tools for
improved growth, flesh quality and nutritional value with
support from the Technology Strategy Board and Scottish Enterprise.
The company also offers a bespoke service to breeding companies
wishing to develop their own intellectual property in marker assisted
selection.
In addition, Xelect provides a wide spectrum of other genetic
services at competitive prices including: the development and
analysis of microsatellites for paternity assignment and traceability; genomic DNA extraction and normalisation; SNP genotyping;
DNA-based sex determination; ploidy determination by flow
cytometry, DNA barcoding assays for identifying pathogens,
parasites and invasive species, and gene expression analysis. The
co-founders of the company, Professor Ian Johnston FRSE (CEO)
and Dr Tom Ashton (Executive Director), will both be on the stand
at Aquaculture UK 2014.

Now in our 25th year, we are a company that has built its business on constantly striving to make our dry suits the
best they can possibly be. Whilst, at the same time supporting our customers with a team of dedicated individuals that will deliver the very best customer service from beginning to end. These two core values have been the
foundation on which O'Three has built its reputation, a reputation which we
are told is second to none. A dry suit made of neoprene will afford the user
a greater degree of security than a dry suit made of tri-laminate or a membrane material. Protection, not only from the rigours and knocks of getting
in and out of the water, but
most importantly from winter
water temperatures that will
drop to single figures. A dry
suit from OThree will ensure
your personnel are using a
piece of PPE (CE Approved
EN 14225-2:2005) that will
be manoeuvrable, warm but
above all dry and reliable,
enabling them to concentrate
on the task in hand. In return, maximising and safeguarding your investment
above and below the water. If required all suits can be customized / modified for a particular task or individuals needs. Please come along to stand
No 15 where we will have our complete range of neoprene dry suits on
display and where we will be only too pleased to discuss any questions or
requirements you may have.

SCIENTIST AWARD
FOR BEST STUDENT
PRESENTATION AT
AQUACULTUREUK 2014
In 2012, at the Aquaculture UK event a panel of judges presided over eight excellent
candidates who had come down to the final of the Novartis Young Scientist Award 2012.
The winning piece was from a bright young student completing his PhD at Stirling
University on the effects of environmental signals in marine fish welfare and development.
His name was Rogelio Sierra Flores, and he won the award for his presentation on how
noise can act as a stressor in Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua).
It was a unanimous agreement by all the independent Judges as he gave a very clear
and concise demonstration on the direct relationship between extraneous noise and a
physiological stress reaction, which showed with an increase in cortisol levels in blood and
it followed through to highlight a reduced rate of egg fertilization.
The prize for winning was an all expenses paid educational trip to NAHs Aqua
research & development facility in PEI, Canada, which took place in July of 2012.
Gala Dinner
Enjoy a delicious three course meal, plus cheeseboard, coffee and wine for only 40 per person
This year it will be held in the Osprey Arena. The Arena bar will open from 6.30pm. Pre dinner entertainment will be provided by the
Highland Youth Ceilidh Band who were a great hit in 2012.
At the dinner the Novartis Young Scientist Award will be presented. After dinner, all round entertainer Tam Cowan will be speaking.
Tam is one of Scotland's favourite television and radio presenters, and is a top newspaper columnist and restaurant reviewer. From his
home town of Motherwell, Tam Cowan showed early promise as a comedy writer, gaining credits from Radio 2's Week Ending show
whilst still at school. He was soon appearing in print with his popular football columns in Glasgow's Evening Times. Tam caught the attention of Radio Scotland and has been at the helm of their most popular show, Off the Ball, since 1994 with his acerbic wit and common
touch. He was joined by co-host Stuart Cosgrove in 1995 and between them they've notched up two coveted Sony awards with their
Friday and Saturday football shows.
Individual tickets cost 40. Companies can book tables for 350. Check out the seating plan below for availability.
Feel free to mingle before and after dinner with the International Aquafeed team (we're at Stand 81) or meet us at our table which is
clearly marked on the plan below.
To book a table or for individual places please either send a cheque to the organisers (receipts will be sent) or contact
David Mack (davidmack@aquacultureuk.com) to be invoiced.
Only a limited number of tickets will be available at the conference.
As of mid March only 70 of the 300 seats remain, so hurry and book now to ensure you do not miss out on this great night!

quaculture UK is an event that has come of age. It is almost exclusively focused and serving the Scottish salmon farming industry
but has strong links to Europe, Northern Europe specifically and Norway in particular. As Scottish salmon farming has grown so
to has this bi-anneal event. Aquaculture UK has become a meeting point for industry, allowing for the necessary exchange of ideas,
developments and information that is so essential to continued growth. There is just one man behind Aquaculture UK - he is David
Mack and is familiar to us all. IAF has invited him to answer a question or two about how he initiated an event that has developed
into such an important venue for the fishing industry in the UK, and what the future holds should Scotlands claim for independence
succeed.

Dedicated to its continued heritage, Bibury Trout Farm proudly maintains its
conservation efforts stocking local rivers, reservoirs and lakes throughout the
United Kingdom.
Three-fourths of its fish production, backed by local fishing syndicates, goes
towards this process; restocking rainbow and brown trout at all stages of life.
Although Bibury Trout Farm only uses one-fourth of its fish production for direct
market sales, it still produces approximately 125 tonnes of trout annually for
consumption.

FEATURE
Probiotics were defined as live microbial feed supplements that bio-control and
antagonist pathogens. The most promising
prospects are sketched out, but considerable efforts of research will be necessary
to develop the applications to aquaculture
(Castillo, 2008).
Since, natural agriculture or organic farming
is a return to working with, but not against,
nature (Abdelhamid, 2002), therefore, the
microbiota management tools of probiotics,
prebiotics and synbiotics have been developed and, indeed, commercialised over the
few decades with the expressed purpose
of increasing number of bifidobacteria and/
or lactobacilli within the gastrointestinal tract
(Tuohy et al., 2003).
So, a feeding experiment was conducted
to examine the effects of dietary administration of Bacillus subtilis on feed utilisation of
juvenile large yellow croaker, Larimichthys
crocea (mean initial body weight 7.82 g
0.68).
The results showed that dietary supplementation of 1.35107 cfu g1 B. subtilis
significantly (P 0.05) increased the feed
efficiency ratio (FER) compared with the
groups without B. subtilis supplementation (Ai
et al., 2011).
The present work aimed to study the
effects of some commercial pre-and probiotics at different dietary graded levels on feed
utilization by Nile tilapia fish.

Summary
FEATURE
Earthen-pond rearing
Commercial aquaculture feed manufacturing in Egypt started in the early 1990s by the
General Authority for Fisheries Resources
Development (GAFRD), with two mediumscale fish feedmills.
By 2000, there were only five governmental mills producing about 20,000 tonnes of
pressed fish feed per year. During the past
decade, the sector has witnessed an outstanding expansion, with a significant engagement
of the private sector.
Recent surveys indicated that there are
nine state-owned fish feedmills and over
50 registered private feedmills distributed
throughout the country, particularly in the
areas of, or close to, the aquaculture production.
Nonetheless, no accurate official data is
available on the current fish feed production.
However, the current production has been
estimated at about 900,000-1,000,000 tonnes
per year.
The production cycle is about six-to-eight
months (April/May-September/October).
About 80 percent of this production is in the
form of compressed feed while the remaining
20 percent are extruded feeds.
Compressed feeds are generally cheaper
than extruded feeds but they are of lower
quality. The average feed conversion ratio
(FCR) of compressed feed is two compared
to an FCR of 1:1.5 of extruded feeds.
About 95 percent of the produced feeds
contain 25 percent crude protein (CP), while

soybean seeds, which are the major protein
source for in fish feeds.
The unit price of feed ingredients have
also been sharply increasing during the past
few years.
As a result, the prices of processed fish
feeds have skyrocketed during the same
period. The fish feed industry in Egypt faces
several other challenges and constraints.
These are summarized below.
Constraints
The following constraints have been identified as major threats to the development of
the aquafeed industry in Egypt.
The dependence of the sector on
the importation of feed inputs and
continuous increase of their prices.
Consequently, the prices of processed
fish feeds have been skyrocketing during
the past few years, and are expected to
increase much further
The rapid growth of aquaculture is
expected to create competition for raw
materials between the aquafeed and the
animal feed industries, which may further
influence the price of feeds
The use of old, compressed feeds
technology. Compressed feeds lead to
substantial feed waste due to the poor
feed conversion ratio (FCR)
All feedmills work for six-to-seven
Recommendation
A/S
FEATURE
n the many world regions, many companies still rely heavily on bags and less
on bulk for the receiving of ingredients.
In either case it is common to see
numerous trucks lined up either inside
or outside the mill waiting to unload. This
creates a number of challenges in terms of
maintaining control of trucks and personnel
while on site and ensuring the correct
quantity and type of product are unloaded.
Manual systems that rely on paperwork are
prone to human error.
To counter this, automation systems, such
as the ones developed by Agentis Innovations,
can replace the paperwork and ensure the
movement of trucks and ingredients to the
correct location for discharge as well as provide for accurate stock inventory and provide
traceability.
into and out of the silos is not known accurately due to the lack of a weigh scale hopper
or in-flight conveyor weighing systems resulting in inaccurate stock reconciliation when
transferred to the mill.
The most common causes of loss are
either wastage due to poor silo management
or losses resulting from moisture shrinkage. It
is not uncommon to hear of significant volumes of grains being disposed of because they
are unfit for purpose when emptying the silos.
The other risk is the deterioration due to
mycotoxin/bacterial contamination that often
occurs due to long-term storage and which
can result in significant nutritional losses.
New sensor technology, pioneered by
Agentis Innovations for example, is being
deployed to provide real-time control systems
as grain either enters or leaves the storage
silos and are transferred into the feedmill,
thereby providing valuable information to
assess the total moisture loss from intake
through to the mill storage phase.
This will allow the operators to make adjustments based on the real moisture content of
the formulated mixture or additional moisture
addition, at the mixer or conditioning phase.
Grinding
Batch control
Modern appropriately sized, multiple, batchweigh scales and digital PLC controls should
provide accuracies of 0.5 percent or less.
Another fast developing application is using
the moisture sensor technology to calculate
the water adjustments required at the mixer
to offset low dry matter ingredients.
Mixing
Extruding, pelleting,
conditioning and crumbling
FEATURE
Automation can reduce the power consumption up to 40 percent as well as improve
the productive life of pellet dies and rolls and
prevent blockage and cleanout times.
Automation removes the manual variability
that leads to sub optimal steam conditioning
and power settings resulting in variable pellet
quality, which in turn results in higher level
of returns from the sieves. This is particularly
important when producing crumbs because in
some feedmills sieve return levels of 30 percent are not uncommon, which is extremely
wasteful as well as resulting in feed being
over-processed.
Automation control therefore results in
a significantly lower level of returns, reduced
down time and efficient feed scheduling
Drying
Cooling
Sieving
re-processing without the need for any intermediate storage or manual handling.
Mills that have particularly long conveyor or
elevator handling systems, or fall from the highest
point (usually distributor head) also result in more
damage to pellets (or segregation of coarse and
fine material in mash feeds) and hence dust.
Each time the throughs are recirculated the product is subjected to further
heat treatment which will compromise the
nutritional quality of the feed, particularly if
there is repeat recirculation. This emphasises
the importance of optimising pellet quality
through the conditioners and pellet and the
advantage of automating these process steps.
Packing
Quality control
Knowledge of the
moisture content of
the feed at packing
is essential for physical product reasons,
stock loss and shelf
life.
Moisture sensors
can be installed on
the packing line to
ensure the optimal
moisture content for
maximum shelf life
leading to reduced
product reject and
improved consistency
of product performance.
Summary
Losses associated with moisture loss, product waste, accuracy of production or time
management are costing the aquafeed industry multi million dollars.
Agentis Innovations are actively responding
to this challenge by developing technological
solutions that directly impact all of these
factors and provide valuable real-time stock
control, full traceability from supplier to farm
and significant return on investment.
Agentis Innovations is a specialist in providing and developing technologies that automate manufacturing processes and integrate
data collection for the global agricultural
industry which include animal feed, aquafeed,
petfood, and premix.

Iran
Asias aquaculture history dates back thousands of years. In the 1980s, The Islamic
Republic of Iran invested heavily in aquaculture development with the culture of rainbow
trout along the Caspian Sea.
Trout farms are mainly found across the
centre, northwestern and western parts of the
country. Irans trout farming systems consist
of simple raceways made of concrete that
harbor a continuous water flow. As a result
of improved farming techniques and facilities,
the countrys annual production of trout has
grown dramatically.
In1978, Iran reportedly produced 280
tonnes of trout. In 2009, total production
reached 73 642 tonnes. Rainbow trout now

France
As one of the first European countries to develop a steady aquaculture industry, French aquaculture is notable for the production
of trout farming.
Trout rearing mainly takes place in Aquitaine, located in the
southwest and Bretagne in the northwest. These two regions
account for 47 percent of the countrys total trout production.
There are however, a range of farms throughout the rest of the
country including Nord Pas de Calais, Normandy, Rhne-Alpes
and Midi-Pyrnes.
Currently, the French trout farming industry employs approximately 2 000 people. 3 percent of the larger production companies produce more than 500 tonnes of fish annually. Interestingly,
although they produce less than 100 tonnes each, smaller trout
producer in the region represent 84 percent of Frances total
production.
France is the third largest producer of trout after Chile and
Norway and in 2004, approximately 35 128 tonnes of the species
was produced with a market value of around 135 million.
At present, Frances rainbow trout market is divided in to three
main sectors:
Direct consumption: accounts for approximately 80 percent
of trout production with a market value of 130 million
Angling: accounts for 12 percent of production with a
market value of 16 million
Restocking: accounts for 8 percent of production with a
market value of 7 million
France currently exports around 5 300 tonnes of rainbow trout
to Belgium and Germany and imports around 3 000 tonnes from
Norway and Spain.

Bibury Trout Farm has successfully implemented a multitude of biosecurity measures in order to mitigate
and reduce the risk of disease within
its operation.
By sourcing only from its own
hatchery (apart from periodic
refreshment of broodstock), Bibury
is able to successfully simplify its
supply chain and in the process
eliminate the chance of cross contamination growing its fish all
the way from the initial egg to
maturation.
Employees are effectively
trained in the ethical and hygienic
handling of fish, consistently washing their hands and feet between
stations in order to maintain a
sanitary and safe environment.
Frequently samples of trout are
taken and recorded in order to
ensure that the health and sustainability of the fish is maintained. The
feed producer Skretting has also
been instrumental in the wellbeing,
health and growth of Bibury Trout
Farm as a whole, providing flexible
options for finance during times of
hardship and also providing an auxiliary of veterinary services which
further cements the bio-security of

Victorian
Rainbow Trout
Profiles of Victoria's
Salmonids
Brown trout
Brown trout were introduced to
mainland Australia from Tasmania in
1864 as fertilised eggs. Fisheries Victoria
stocks more brown trout than any other
salmonid (trout and salmon).
These stockings are predominantly
into lakes and impoundments.
This species of trout is widespread
and abundant in north eastern Victoria
where self-sustaining populations thrive
in cool, fast flowing waters. Given good
habitat and food, brown trout grow
rapidly in their second and third year of
life although few live beyond five to six
years of age.
Brown trout are considered to be a
'residential' fish exhibiting limited movement from established home ranges.
They appear to dominate rainbow trout
in waters where both species exist
naturally.
Rainbow trout
Chinook salmon
Chinook salmon are also known as
Quinnat salmon and King salmon and
are highly regarded by anglers as a
strong sportsfish.
They were first introduced to
Australia in the 1870s. In natural circumstances, young and adults spend most of
their life at sea, returning to their natal
streams to spawn. Natural migratory
stocks in North America have recorded
fish of 1.6m and nearly 60kg.
In Victoria they are only stocked into
Lake Purrumbete, Lake Murdeduke and
on occasion, Lake Modewarre. These
waters have been known to produce
fish of 89cm and 11.4kg (Lake Bullen
Merri, 1981), but most fish are generally
between 1 and 3kg.
Atlantic salmon
Atlantic salmon are often confused
with brown trout and were first introduced to Australia in the 1860s.
In natural circumstances, most of
their life cycle is spent at sea, however
stocked populations for recreational
fishing have been maintained in Lake
Purrumbete and Lake Bullen Merri.

oger Gilbert, publisher of the aquaculture magazine International Aquafeed, has been
appointed president of the newly formed Association of International Seafood Professionals.
He joins Roy Palmer who has been tasked with running the newly formed association and
is its new executive director.
"The aims and objectives of the IASP are based on individual participation with the view that by drawing
together inputs from all sectors of the industry, and that includes those working in the capture industry
as well as in fish farming, our industry can better organise itself and determine its future role," says Mr
Gilbert.
"It's an honour for me to be appointed the Associations first president. I am particularly keen to see seafood recognised as a
major source of protein in our diets and for the benefits in health that it delivers. In addition, I'm firmly of the belief that aquaculture will play a vital role in supplying the protein a growing world population will need as we head toward 9.5 billion people
on the planet in 2050!
"For 22 years I worked as secretary general of the International Feed Industry Federation through its developmental years, and
I feel well qualified to assist in the establishment of this organisation during this critical inception period.
eith Morris has been promoted to UK commercial manager for MSD Animal Health
Aquaculture. Previously the national accounts manager, Keith has assumed responsibility for
all commercial aspects of the aquaculture business, including marketing.
David Schofield, MSDs integrated livestock director David Schofield confirmed the recent
promotion and highlighted the companys strategy of providing targeted advice and technical support to
UK customers.
I am delighted that Keith has been promoted to this key role. His work alongside the technical team in
developing our vaccine business, particularly Norvax Compact PD as well as SLICE treatment strategies
is helping deliver our enhanced Value Through Service products and technical service packages to the benefit of an increasing
number of salmon producers in the UK.
The UK Aquaculture team comprises Keith Morris (commercial manager), Dafydd Morris (technical manager) and Liam
Doherty (technical trials assistant).

Commenting on the appointment, Bendik Fyhn Terjesen, Nofimas senior scientist said:
[Buran] will strengthen the technological aspects of this field in Nofima, and contribute to the further
development of the Centre for Recirculation in Aquaculture (NCRA) at Sunndalsra.
Through the NCRA, which was established in 2010, Nofima contributes increased knowledge about
fish nutrition, physiology, health and welfare in the most important farmed species in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS).
As part of her new role, Dr Buran will focus on developing and integrating new and existing water treatment technologies
in recirculating and semi-closed aquaculture systems.
