The future of food from the sea (2019, background): “Second, many feed alternatives are comparatively expensive, and thus their use in feeds may increase prices for mariculture products and other foods, reducing accessibility for low-income populations (Troell et al. 2014).”
Sustainable Intensification of Aquaculture through Nutrient Recycling and Circular Economies: More Fish, Less Waste, Blue Growth (2021, background): “Aquaculture is predicted to play a critical role in supplying nutritious food to a growing human population (Miller et al. 2008; Troell et al. 2014; FAO 2018), which is expected to exceed 9 billion by 2050 (UN 2015).”
A Revolution Without People? Closing the People-Policy Gap in Aquaculture Development (2015, background): “With global changes in consumption patterns and population AC C EP TE D M AN U SC R IP T growth, continued growth in aquaculture production is expected to be an important part of the solution to meet global food demand (Cressey, 2009; Williams et al., 2000; Troell et al. 2014).”
Blind spots in visions of a “blue economy” could undermine the ocean's contribution to eliminating hunger and malnutrition (2021, background): “Technical shiftswill also be required, in particular to ensure that the provision of feed from fish resources and agriculture substitutes does not divert food-grade products into feed systems.(76)”
Metabolomics and fish nutrition: a review in the context of sustainable feed development (2018, background): “…of fishery quotas, while aquaculture production and other markets for human nutrition, pharmaceutics and cosmetics using these raw materials are constantly rising, leading to a scarcity of marine resources for aquaculture (Tacon & Metian 2008; Naylor et al. 2009; Troell et al. 2014; FAO 2016).”
Social-ecological resilience and biosphere-based sustainability science (2016, background): “Another example is the globally expanding demand and trade for seafood shaping marine ecosystems worldwide through the increased harvest of wild capture fisheries and aquaculture production (Troell et al. 2014, Crona et al. 2015a).”
Feeding 9 billion by 2050 – Putting fish back on the menu (2015, background): “Indeed, despite some substantial improvement in the last decade, the rate of conversion of fishmeal to fish is still a source of concern (Troell et al. 2014).”
Fish as feed: Using economic allocation to quantify the Fish In : Fish Out ratio of major fed aquaculture species (2020, background): “The use of marine ingredients has long raised concerns about the effect of aquaculture on marine fish stocks, and the continued supply of marine ingredients, largely in the form of fishmeal and fish oil (Blanchard et al., 2017; Troell et al., 2014; Stead, 2019; Naylor et al., 2000).”
How is innovation in aquaculture conceptualized and managed? A systematic literature review and reflection framework to inform analysis and action (2017, background): “Production of both fish and crustaceans has boomed, with an annual growth rate of 7.8% worldwide between 1990 and 2010 (Troell et al., 2014).”
The Sustainability Conundrum of Fishmeal Substitution by Plant Ingredients in Shrimp Feeds (2019, background): “Aquaculture saw an extremely fast increase in global fishmeal consumption share from 10% in 1980 to 73% in 2016 [7], while the aquafeed sector accounted for approximately 4% of global feed production [16].”
Rewiring food systems to enhance human health and biosphere stewardship (2017, background): “Between 1990 and 2010, cultivation of fish and shellfish in terrestrial freshwater and marine systems increased over four-fold [30].”
Moving towards more sustainable aquaculture practices: a meta‐analysis on the potential of plant‐enriched diets to improve fish growth, immunity and disease resistance (2020, background): “Otherwise, aquaculture can contribute to increasing stress on water resources, overfishing of wild stocks for feed production, introduction of invasive species, pathogen transmission between reared and wild organisms and selection and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (Troell et al. 2014).”
