• Searching for Solutions in Aquaculture: Charting a Sustainable Course (2012, unknown): “Aquatic plants (TL 1), mollusks (TL 2), and herbivorous and omnivorous finfish (TL 3) make up the majority of aquaculture production (193).”
• Feed Matters: Satisfying the Feed Demand of Aquaculture (2015, background): “…aquaculture production in 2012; FAO, 2014a) has been the largest consumer of captured non-food products for over a decade (Naylor et al., 2009; Tacon and Metian, 2009), either in the form of fishmeal and fish oil used within industrially compounded aquafeeds (Mallison, 2013) or in the form of…”
• Feeding aquaculture in an era of finite resources (2009, background): “Asia is also the main user of trash fish for aquaculture production, with China’s consumption alone estimated at 4–5 mmt in 2005 (6).”
• Fisheries in transition: Food and nutrition security implications for the global South (2014, background): “‘Trash fish’, which is often landed as bycatch from trawl fisheries, is thought to account for 35% of marine catch in Bangladesh, China, India, Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam, and is mainly used in farmmade fish feeds (Tacon and Metian, 2009).”
• Demand and supply of feed ingredients for farmed fish and crustaceans : trends and prospects (2011, background): “…fish” and other small pelagic forage fish species as aquaculture feed, it is estimated that the total use in aquaculture was between 5.6 and 8.8 million tonnes in 2006 (mean 7.2 million tonnes; Tacon and Metian, 2009a); China alone reportedly consumed 4 to 5 million tonnes in 2005 (Jin, 2006).”
• Collateral diseases: Aquaculture impacts on wildlife infections (2020, background): “Among the ecological impacts of aquaculture activities are the widespread use of wild fish as feed for aquaculture stocks (Naylor et al., 2000, 2009; Tacon & Metian, 2009, 2015), the genetic pollution of wild stocks (Cross et al., 2008; Glover et al., 2012; Jørstad et al., 2008; McGinnity et al.,…”
• Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and aquaculture in perspective (2015, background): “, 2002), the reliance on finite marine resources derived from capture fisheries was an unsustainable practice (Naylor et al., 2000; Tacon and Metian, 2009).”
• Responsible Aquaculture and Trophic Level Implications to Global Fish Supply (2009, background): “…currently highly dependent upon marine capture fisheries for sourcing farm feed inputs, either in the form of fish meal and fish oil used within industrially compounded aquafeeds (Tacon and Metian, 2008), or low value/trash feed in fresh or processed form as a direct feed (Tacon and Metian, 2009a).”
