Organic mussels from Ireland: Key points
By working with local communities & wildlife groups organic mussel producers are constantly improving their commitment to the environment.
Traditional mussel culture depends on the natural environment for the provision of their feed, seed and space. The culture process is based on nature, depends on nature, and it also contributes to nature. A recent study showed the natural values of mussel culture plots, with more biomass and more biodiversity, being higher than natural mussel beds in the Dutch Wadden Sea. Despite or due to the maintenance and harvest activities of the farmers, mussel stocks on culture plots last longer than natural beds. It was concluded that mussel culture promotes nature conservation.
Given the expected global population increase by 50 % in 2050, there is a strong need for improved food supply. Farming the ocean is a likely option. Aquaculture low in the food chain, without the provision of formulated feed, ie shellfish and seaweed should offer solutions. Given actual production trends in Europe, showing a decrease rather than a production increase, there is a clear need for an innovation agenda for all parties involved: producers, processors, governments, and stakeholders.
This presentation summarizes the problems with conventional fish farming approaches, and uses the precautionary principle as a framework to handle the issue.

What is the stocking density of fish in semi intensive cultureihn FreeStyle Corp.
Stocking Density: Stocking density also known as per-unit stocking amount or stocking rate, refers to the quantity of fry or fingerlings per unit of water area.
Poly Culture: The concept of poly culture of fish is based on the concept of total utilization of different trophic and spatial niches of a pond in order to obtain maximum fish production per unit area. Different compatible species of fish of different trophic and spatial niches are raised together in the same pond to utilize all sorts of natural food available in the pond.
Semi Intensive Culture: Semi-intensive culture systems depend largely on natural food which is increased over baseline levels by fertilization and/or use of supplementary feed to complement natural food.

The European lobster (Homarus gammarus) is an ecologically important species of the North-eastern Atlantic which supports wild trap fisheries that are worth around £30 million each year to the UK alone. By weight the species is the highest-value seafood among those landed regularly in the UK and Ireland, where 75 percent of the ~5,000t annual landings for the species are made. As such, lobsters provide essential diversity to fragile inshore fisheries and vital income for rural coastal economies. However, populations across its range are pressured by rising exploitation, from which traditional fisheries management has failed to prevent extensive regional stock collapses in the recent past, and now struggles to stimulate recovery. While lobsters have long been transported as a live export commodity, chiefly to France and the Iberian peninsula, emerging markets, particularly those in East Asia, threaten to create additional demand for the species which far exceeds current capture yields. Improvements in hatchery rearing success have seen a number of recent aquaculture initiatives employed, in the hope of both generating restoration and improved sustainability of wild harvests, and instigating commercial aquaculture possibilities.
Seaweed is a marine alga that is generally classified as a plant. Seaweed is a primitive type of plants lacking true roots, Steams and leaves. Seaweed farming is highly developed in many south-east Asian countries. However, the seaweed industry in Bangladesh is an initial stage. People in Bangladesh are still not aware of the seaweed potential.

The global fish consumption for human nutrition increases. The supply of enough aquatic products is still possible, because the experienced fish capture peak in the 1990s is buffered by the increasing amount of fish from hatcheries, both onshore and offshore.
Characterization, treatment and recovery of fish byproduct as a stable bio-fe...Skyfox Publishing Group
National fish production reached in 2013 an amount of 1,245,912 tons. Now the pelagic fish industry generates a
significant amount of waste up to 60%. The physicochemical analyses of these fish by-products showed a wealth of organic material
including proteins (87.4% dry weight) and minerals (9% dry weight). These components and others are capitalizing to be used for
agricultural or agri-food. Biotransformation of biotechnologically in fish products was performed in the laboratory. Fresh fish byproducts
were ground and mixed with a carbon-rich source of carbohydrates. The mixture was inoculated with selected fermentation
yeast. The fermentation of evolution was controlled by monitoring chemical parameters (pH, dry matter, ash, total nitrogen) and
microbiological (FMAT, Enterobacteriaceae: fecal and total Coliforms, yeasts). Then the product thus stabilized at a pH of 3.8 has
undergone a second treatment. A hydrolyzate rich in amino acids and trace elements was obtained with excellent hygienic quality after a
total elimination of pathogens. Its use will be as factors for fertilizer and soil amendment. We produced three biostimulants necessary for
plant growth: Rooting fertilizer, Plant elongation fertilizer and production fertilizer. The application tests on these biofertilizers in the
laboratory were performed and have allowed obtaining promising results.

"Where Agri Meets Tech, Driving Research to Market" Ultan O’Raghallaigh Asia Matters

Al meer dan 130 jaar worden oesters na het opvissen aan wal opgeslagen in traditionele open oesterputten waar ze verwaterd worden. Verwateren is de behandeling waarbij levende tweekleppige weekdieren van consumptierijp tot consumptiegeschikt worden gemaakt. De oesterputten bestaan uit ondiepe, open bassins van metselwerk en beton die door middel van een systeem van duikersluizen en kanaaltjes in verbinding staan met de Oosterschelde. De aanvoer van ‘schoon’ Oosterscheldewater gebeurt hier door middel van getijdenwerking.
De hoofddoelstelling van het project is een gesloten conditionering- en opslagsysteem te ontwikkelen dat ingezet kan worden om oesters gecontroleerd te verwateren en op te slaan, zodanig dat op een duurzame wijze een hoger rendement en beter voorraadbeheer wordt gerealiseerd.
Het project was opgebouwd uit vier fasen. In de ontwikkelfase heeft de nadruk gelegen op het opzetten van de goede samenwerking. In de tweede fase lag de focus op het ontwerp en het bepalen van specificaties voor een conditionering- en opslagsysteem voor oesters. Hierbij is onderzocht aan welke voorwaarden de biologische processen moeten voldoen voor het kunnen bereiken van een maximaal resultaat. De derde fase (projectfase) is daadwerkelijk de technologie ontwikkeld en zijn de prototype processen gebouwd en uitvoerig getest. Tot slot heeft in de eindfase de focus gelegen om het verkrijgen van de juiste kwaliteit van het (grootschaliger) proces en het behalen van een goed rendement hieruit.
Er kan worden gesteld dat alle doelstellingen van het project gehaald zijn. De diverse testen gaven gedurende het project al de indicatie dat het eindresultaat veelbelovend zou zijn. De mortaliteit in de klassieke systemen was extreem hoog namelijk 30% tot 50%, terwijl de resultaten uit de proefopstelling een mortaliteit van rond de 3% lieten zien.

The NRCP, which was approved by the European Commission, is an important
component of the Department’s food safety controls and is implemented under a
service contract with the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI).
With over 20,000 samples tested in 2012, the results show a continuation of the
trend over a number of years of a general absence of residues in Irish food
products.

Low level of environmental contaminants.
6. CONCLUSIONS
This study has demonstrated that levels of dioxins, furans and PCBs (both DL-PCBs and the
indicator PCBs 28, 52, 101, 138, 153, and 180) in Irish fish, farmed mussels and prawns are well
below the relevant legislative limits for these contaminants. The results of the study are in line with
those from previous FSAI studies on dioxin levels in fish and also studies on meat, milk, and eggs, and
confirm that dioxin levels in these foods are relatively low compared with data for similar
products from more industrialised countries in the European Union.
