Aquaculture offers the potential to provide protein to the planet’s growing population by offering scalability at a level not met by capture fisheries. Doing so in a sustainable manner requires advances in fish farming, supporting both the health of the fish as well as the health of the environment. Approximately 65% of aquaculture production is feed-based, and current feeds for these species include as ingredients fishmeal and fish oil. A continued reliance on wild-caught sources of these ingredients simply moves the overfishing problem lower on the food chain. A number of recent competitions have promoted innovation and adoption of novel feeds (e.g., F3 Challenge), with more work to be done. Maximizing aquaculture efficiency through feeds and nutrition remains a significant challenge to scaling output.
In this Technology:Earth webinar, we will learn about the challenges in scaling aquaculture to feed a growing planetary population and two solutions to maximizing aquaculture efficiency through fish food and nutrition. Professor Michael Tlusty, Professor of Sustainability and Food Solutions in UMass Boston’s School for the Environment will frame the problem and the solution space. Addressing the challenge of sustainable feeds, Dr. Larry Feinberg of KnipBio will discuss a biotechnology solution that creates an alternative to fishmeal. Further meeting the nutritional requirements of farmed salmon, Dr. Timothy Bouley of BioFeyn will discuss improving the efficiency of nutrient delivery. Please join us!
Improving human health through technology drives us at Triple Ring Technologies. Today, we recognize that human health is not supportable without a healthy planet. Ensuring a healthy environment for current generations and sustainable management of our planetary resources for future generations is a natural extension of our mission. Triple Ring is pleased to announce that we are expanding our practice into technologies for the environment and sustainability.
Our new Technology:Earth webinar series convenes world experts and technologists working on a variety of environmental challenges to frame the problems and the challenges of scale-up, and to discuss viable solutions. Our goal is to connect individuals working in these problem spaces with the innovation ecosystem that that has successfully delivered life-changing solutions in the biotech space.
