The Chantecler chicken is a rare heritage breed from Quebec, Canada that was developed at a Cistercian Trappist Monastery to withstand cold winters and be suitable for both meat and eggs production. It took 9 years to develop and was officially recognized as a breed in 1921. While it was once a good commercial dual-purpose bird, its population declined as the poultry industry shifted to faster growing hybrids. There are now estimated to only be around 2,000 Chantecler chickens remaining, and efforts are underway by organizations in Quebec to allow commercial production to help save the breed from extinction.

MicroCapClub Invitational: Where Food Comes From (WFCF)Ian Cassel
Food safety, food transparency, and food verification are expected to be some of the top consumer trends of the next decade. A powerful dynamic occurs when there are several large emerging consumer trends and the best way to play it is a microcap stock. Plenty of investors are aware of Whole Foods (WFM), The Fresh Market (TFM), Annie’s (BNNY), Natural Grocers (NGVC), but few have heard of a 17 year old company called Where Food Comes From (WFCF). You ever wonder who actually verifies food labels? WFCF does, and they have a 50%+ market share in verifying beef and are now expanding into other food groups. They are now launching their own food label called Where Food Comes From. Listen to CEO John Saunders as he tells the story.
Traditionally, caviar refers to roe from wild sturgeon in the Caspian and Black Seas, including beluga, ossetra, and sevruga caviars. Depending on the country, the term caviar may also describe roe from fish such as salmon, steelhead, trout, lumpfish, and whitefish. Pasteurized caviar has a slightly different texture than traditional caviar as it is less perishable and may not require refrigeration before opening. Pressed caviar is made from damaged or fragile eggs and can be a combination of several different roes. Caviar is an extremely perishable ingredient that must be kept refrigerated until consumption.
This document discusses different types of caviar, including beluga, sterlet, ossetra, and sevruga caviar. Beluga caviar comes from beluga sturgeon in the Caspian Sea and is known for its large, soft eggs. Sterlet caviar is rare and was once reserved for royalty. Ossetra caviar has medium-sized gray or brown eggs. Sevruga caviar has smaller gray eggs. The document also describes the commercial caviar production process and alternatives like stripping that aim to be more humane. Caviar is highly perishable and must be refrigerated for storage.

This document discusses the history and future of caviar production. It notes that caviar was consumed as early as 2400 BC in Egypt but that overfishing led to a 30 year decline in supply from the Caspian Sea. It states that aquaculture is now the main source of caviar and discusses sustainability issues as the world's population puts increasing pressure on natural resources. The document suggests that a premium sustainable caviar brand launched in October 2008 may help improve the situation and meet future demand for caviar in a responsible way.
The Volga River is the longest river in Europe, stretching over 2,300 miles through western Russia. It runs through or borders 11 of Russia's 20 largest cities, making it an important transportation route and tourist attraction. However, the river also receives large amounts of industrial waste from factories along its banks, polluting the waters. Two products from the Volga region are black caviar from sturgeon fish and the fish themselves, though sturgeon is known to taste unpleasant despite the high market value of its roe. Bridges span the wide Volga frequently, though the total number is difficult to determine.
Caviar comes from the roe or eggs of sturgeon fish found in the Black and Caspian Seas. There are different types of caviar depending on the fish and processing method, with Beluga and Osetra from sturgeon being the most expensive varieties. Caviar is rated based on attributes like egg size, color, and salt content. While traditionally from sturgeon, caviar can also be made from other fish.
The project aims to farm 4 species of Caspian sturgeon in closed aquaculture systems to produce meat, caviar, and value-added products for local and international markets. An estimated 700kg of caviar and 20 tons of sturgeon meat will be produced annually. The business requires an initial investment of 1-1.5 million euros for facilities and operations over the first 5 years. Returns are expected within 8-9 years through the high-value caviar and meat sales to luxury hotels, restaurants, and international distributors.
This document summarizes a global assessment of microplastics in the ocean conducted by GESAMP, the United Nations' Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Protection. The assessment examines the sources, fate, and effects of microplastics, defined as plastic pieces less than 5mm. It finds that microplastics originate from both primary sources, such as manufactured plastic pellets and particles, as well as secondary sources through the breakdown of larger plastic debris. The assessment draws on expertise from various disciplines to understand microplastic distribution in surface waters, impacts on marine organisms, and provide recommendations to help policymakers address this issue.
Presentation hesy 12-02-2014 Recirculation Aquaculture SystemsSander de Bondt
Hesy Aquaculture is a specialist in the design and construction of intensive recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS) for fish farming. They have 30 years of experience and have delivered over 180 RAS systems worldwide for a variety of freshwater and saltwater fish species. Their turnkey systems include biological and technical start-up support, as well as management training. RAS is advantageous as it allows high density fish production using minimal water in a controlled environment, with benefits for water quality, disease control, and consistency of supply.
This document outlines the diversification of Target Marine's RAS farm over time from 1998 to 2014. It began with Atlantic salmon smolts in 1998 and expanded to include sturgeon juveniles in 2001, Chinook smolts, and coho smolts. In 2007 it began farming coho for both smolts and broodstock. The benefits of RAS included minimizing water usage, increasing environmental control, and allowing year-round production. More recently in 2014 it began integrating aquaponics to farm various plant crops which benefit from the nutrients in the water. The presentation emphasizes farming disease-free, monosex female fish available year-round and certified organic.
The document discusses recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) as a sustainable solution in the growing aquaculture industry. RAS is a land-based fish farming method that does not require direct water access, allowing production in various environments. It summarizes that RAS production has increased for certain fish like salmon and tilapia. While RAS has higher initial costs than open-water aquaculture, technology improvements can reduce operating expenses and increase yields to close the cost gap. The document outlines opportunities for investors in areas like technology that lowers energy use and improves water quality, co-locating RAS facilities near major markets, and expanding RAS to additional fish species.
This document summarizes an presentation on opportunities in urban agriculture related to aquaculture and aquaponics. It provides an overview of aquaculture trends in Canada and Ontario, describes various aquaculture and aquaponics business models operating in Ontario, reviews regulations around aquaculture licensing, and lists upcoming aquaculture and aquaponics training workshops. The presentation explores opportunities for small-scale fish farming and integrated aquaponics systems in an urban context.
This document discusses investment opportunities in fish seed technology in Nigeria. It notes that the successful development of aquaculture will depend on the availability of high quality fish seed. Currently, availability is limited due to few hatcheries and ineffective government projects. The document evaluates species for food fish and ornamental/aquarium fish seed production. It recommends starting with common carp and tilapia, as their propagation is most developed. Details are provided on broodstock requirements and breeding for these two species. Hybridization of tilapia is also discussed as a way to produce all-male populations for improved growth rates.
This document provides an overview and analysis of the cold chain logistics sector. It discusses what cold chain logistics is, the history and key breakthroughs in the sector, global and Indian scenarios, value parameters and users. The history section outlines important developments from the 1800s to present day, including early uses of ice for food preservation, innovations in refrigerated transportation, and modern temperature-controlled supply chains. The global section presents facts on cold chain usage and standards in food and pharmaceutical industries worldwide.
Colombia has suitable climate and pastures for cattle production year-round. Its cattle inventory reached 23 million heads in 2014, with 50% located in three departments. Colombia is certified free of foot-and-mouth disease. Over 60% of cattle are located below 1,000m elevation with temperatures between 23-32°C. Colombia was the fourth largest beef producer in Latin America in 2014 with 947,000 tons. Over 4.3 million head were slaughtered in 2014, a 1.9% growth from 2010. The beef sector offers incentives like free trade zones and reduced import duties to promote investment.

The Chantecler chicken is a rare heritage breed from Quebec, Canada that was developed at a Cistercian Trappist Monastery to withstand cold winters and be suitable for both meat and eggs production. It took 9 years to develop and was officially recognized as a breed in 1921. While it was once a good commercial dual-purpose bird, its population declined as the poultry industry shifted to faster growing hybrids. There are now estimated to only be around 2,000 Chantecler chickens remaining. Recent agreements between Quebec organizations aim to allow commercial production of the Chantecler again to help save it from extinction, as the only way to preserve the breed is to increase its consumption.
The document discusses the Suez Canal Fish Farming and Aquaculture Company, which is located on 7500 acres along the Suez Canal and wholly owned by the Suez Canal Authority. The company aims to be a leading fish farming company in Egypt and the region. It currently produces several types of fish and has plans to expand production capacity and introduce additional species and processed products. While current production is around 10,000 tons annually, the company aims to reach 9,000 tons to help close Egypt's 400,000 ton annual fish deficit. The document outlines the company's vision, facilities, production and marketing strategies.

CORNEL CEAPA Acadian Sturgeon and Caviar Inc, Canada 2. Development status of sturgeon meat market
15. Today: As the demand was created in such regions during the periods when sturgeon meat was easily available, with the decrease of the sturgeon catches, the meat prices in countries like the ones in the former Soviet Union exceeds the prices on the Western countries (over 10-15 EUR, Mikhail Chebanov personal information)!

16. Comment: The existence of a real sturgeon meat market is in our opinion true when consumers (WILLING TO) PAY a reasonable price for that product, unsubsidized or not influenced by social or political reasons. For this reason we consider that the former local markets (as for example the former Soviet Union or Native Americans in North America) not real markets but only potential markets to be developed by aquaculture.
