The Global Initiative for Life & Leadership through Seafood (GILLS) aims to increase understanding of the importance of seafood consumption through knowledge sharing. It seeks to improve global communication about seafood research and promote seafood consumption to reduce hunger and improve health outcomes. GILLS plans to increase engagement with universities, develop wellness programs, improve its website and social media presence, and form strategic partnerships. Its vision is for less hunger, better health through increased seafood intake.
From both nutritionist and aquaculturist points of view, our aim is to sustainably produce aquatic food with superior sensory properties and high cardioprotective properties. The reason is that although preventable, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the top global cause of death and stroke. The prevention of atherosclerosis is, therefore, a major objective of modern medical and biochemical investigations into the mechanism of atherosclerosis and how the structure of food components determines their role in the mechanism(s) involved. The composition of aquafeeds and their impact on the nutritional value of aquatic food is a focal point of today’s research and development both in academia and industry.
Aquaculture In China--Complexities Surrounding the Fishing IndustryThe Ocean Foundation
The collapse of wild fish stocks has introduced new opportunities in aquaculture to expand operations from inland to offshore. China in the last 30 years has become an extraordinary leader in fish production and distribution. Since 2001 when it joined the World Trade Organization, productivity has gone up and trade has improved dramatically particularly in aquatic products. But, many problems continue to submerge rather than afloat the aquaculture industry. Disease, illegal drug use, and banned feed methods contribute to global concerns on how fish farming is currently managed in China. While the Chinese government has made tremendous strides to meeting trade standardization objectives, the failure to execute appropriate environmental enforcement at the national level devalues enhancement and conservation efforts of fisheries in numerous provinces. This paper will explore a wide range of related topics encompassing China’s rise in aquaculture with a respect to environmental protection, health and safety.
Vegetarianism and Veganism: the right choicesvmikov
The purpose of this presentation is to help people make more informed choices of food and beverages, leading to a reduction in the overall global consumption of animal products, which will increase Earth’s chances of salvation and well-being!
The document discusses aquaculture and fish feed. It notes that aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms through interventions like feeding and protection. It also discusses the energy requirements of fish and the key dietary requirements including proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and vitamins/minerals. The document summarizes several studies that examined replacing fish meal with plant-based proteins in fish feed and the effects on growth and economic returns. It concludes that further research is still needed but plant proteins are increasingly being used in fish feed to lower costs.
After analyzing the globalization of sushi and its impact on health and the environment, the team concluded that while fish consumption can provide some health benefits, raw fish poses potential risks. Sushi has become a global phenomenon due to increasing demand, but overfishing and long-distance transportation negatively impact aquatic ecosystems and populations. Though sustainability efforts aim to curb these effects, meeting the rising demand challenges environmental protection if supply is not adequately replenished.
This document summarizes global aquaculture trends. Key points include:
1) Aquaculture contributes over 40% of aquatic food and is dominated by Asia, led by China. Production has grown at around 6% annually but is slowing.
2) Species are diverse but a few dominate, including carp, tilapia, shrimp and salmon. Freshwater ponds and tanks produce over half of supply.
3) Future growth will require expansion into new environments, further intensification and efficiency gains to ensure sustainability and competitiveness. Dependence on external feeds and resources is a major issue going forward.
Aquaculture presentation in Al-Quds University by Dr.Mutaz QutobAnas Noor
The document discusses aquaculture, including its definition, history, and commonly cultured species. Aquaculture is defined as the farming of aquatic organisms under controlled conditions. Historically, aquaculture has been practiced for thousands of years, with carp farming in China dating back to 2500 BC. Currently, tilapia and carp are two of the most important species cultured globally due to their hardiness, prolific breeding, and high market value. The document also reviews considerations for aquaculture systems including water quality management.
1. The document discusses the importance of seafood sustainability and outlines several issues facing fisheries such as overfishing, bycatch, lack of regulation, and mislabeling.
2. It provides examples of sustainable fisheries like Alaska pollock and oysters/mussels and recommends eating smaller forage fish instead of overfished species like tuna.
3. Ensuring sustainable seafood involves using science-based quotas, minimizing bycatch, and full traceability from boat to plate through certifications like MSC.

Nourishing people and planet with aquatic foodsWorldFish
Presentation by panelists Shakuntala Thilsted, Molly Ahern, Patrick Webb, Tinna Manani, Mrityunjoy Kunda, Ravishankar C.N. and Sandra Caroline Grant on 'Nourishing people and planet with aquatic foods' at the UN Food System Summit Science Day Side Event on Tuesday, 6 July 2021.
Aquaculture has a long history dating back to 2000 BC in China. While it provides important health benefits like protein and nutrients, it can also negatively impact public health through various contaminants. Key contaminants of concern from aquaculture include antibiotics, which contribute to antibiotic resistance, and persistent organic pollutants that accumulate up the food chain. Ensuring safe aquaculture practices through measures like proper hygiene, water quality management, and clean equipment is important to protect public health.

Emerging trends observed include experimentation with market-based approaches, interest from new sources of capital, and adoption of a more holistic view integrating conservation, poverty, and food security. The document concludes there are opportunities to better integrate conservation with rights and support successful management regimes, women, innovative financing, and aquaculture
This document discusses the role of aquatic resources in food and nutrition. It notes that aquatic resources like fish, shellfish and seaweed provide vital nutrition and are important for food security, especially in developing countries. The document then covers topics like the protein, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals found in different types of fish and shellfish and their benefits for human health. It also addresses how aquatic resources can help address issues of malnutrition globally.
Marine derived nutraceuticals and its potential useDr. Smit Lende
Marine organisms are a promising source of nutraceuticals that can provide health benefits. Compounds from seaweeds, algae, fish, and shellfish have anti-inflammatory, cholesterol-lowering, and antioxidant properties. Examples of marine-derived nutraceuticals include omega-3 fatty acids from fish oils, carotenoids and sterols from algae, and chitosan from shellfish shells. These compounds may help reduce the risk of diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. The market for marine nutraceuticals is growing as consumers increasingly seek healthy lifestyle and disease prevention options.
National and international regulations of seafood quality andAbdulrahman Muhammad
This document discusses national and international regulations for seafood quality and safety. It begins by defining seafood and describing its importance as a global commodity. It then outlines various biological, chemical, and physical hazards that can affect seafood quality and safety, such as pathogenic bacteria, viruses, parasites, toxins, heavy metals, and contaminants. The document also discusses factors that influence bacterial growth in seafood and methods to control quality, including cleaning, time and temperature controls, drying, freezing, and more. It provides examples of specific hazards and concludes by listing environmental chemical contaminant tolerances and limits in fish.
This presentation was presented by Meryl Williams, based on the full written report: HLPE, 2014. Sustainable fisheries and aquaculture for food security and nutrition. A report by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition of the Committee on World Food Security, Rome 2014.(http://www.fao.org/cfs/cfs-hlpe/reports/en/).
This report addresses a frequently overlooked but extremely important part of world food and nutrition security: the role and importance of fish in seeking food and nutrition security for all. Fisheries and aquaculture have often been arbitrarily separated from other parts of the food and agricultural systems in food security studies, debates and policy-making.
The report presents a synthesis of existing evidence regarding the complex pathways between fisheries and aquaculture and food and nutrition security, including the environmental, economic and social dimensions, as well as issues related to governance. It provides insights on what needs to be done to achieve sustainable fisheries and aquaculture in order to strengthen their positive impact on food and nutrition security.
The ambition of this compact yet comprehensive report is to help the international community to share and understand the wide spectrum of issues that make fisheries and aquaculture such an important part of efforts to assure food security for all.
This presentation shows what is aquaculture, the different methods of aquaculture, and why aquaculture is important. Aquaculture benefits the oceans, economy, and environment. It maintains the health of our oceans, lessens the severity of overfishing, and reduces the transfer of diseases in sea creatures. It is a form of agriculture for those regions with poor soils and farming lands. In addition, aquaculture improves the health of the people by incorporating seafood into their diet.

Aquaculture involves farming fish and other aquatic animals and plants. It helps meet the growing global demand for seafood and can be used to develop new species through techniques like transgenic fish. Biotechnology plays an important role in aquaculture by allowing for growth enhancement and traits like disease resistance. While aquaculture provides benefits, there are also limitations and ethical concerns to consider regarding impacts on wild populations and animal welfare. Researchers aim to use these technologies responsibly and primarily for improving human health.
Andrews 2012 Opportunities for public aquariumsChris Andrews
The document discusses opportunities for public aquariums to increase sustainability in the aquatic animal trade. It argues that public aquariums, which acquire many species from the same sources as the pet trade, are well positioned to partner with the ornamental fish trade to improve sustainability practices. Specifically, public aquariums can provide technical knowledge, education, and incentives to transform the trade into a positive conservation force through initiatives modeled after previous seafood sustainability efforts. The document outlines key aspects of sustainability for the trade and why it is important.
Krishna presented on the topic of aquaculture and its role in rural development. Some key points include: (1) Aquaculture is the fastest growing food sector and produced over 90 million tonnes globally in 2012, helping to meet the world's increasing demand for protein; (2) Aquaculture plays an important role in rural development by generating employment, utilizing waste, developing infrastructure, and empowering small farmers; (3) Aquaculture also improves nutrition and food security by providing affordable protein to poor communities through small backyard ponds and fish farming.

Sustainable intensification of aquaculture - FAO consultation 27 nov2014Michael Phillips
Fish and food security: sustainable intensification of aquaculture
1. Fish is a key source of nutrition, especially in Asia, and demand is growing rapidly as populations and incomes increase.
2. Aquaculture production must more than double by 2050 to meet projected demand, but current practices risk significant environmental impacts if not intensified sustainably.
3. Sustainable intensification focuses on increasing production while reducing environmental impacts through improved technologies, management practices, regulations and inclusive development that benefits small-scale farmers and consumers.
The document proposes establishing a global "green label" brand called Eco Fish or Green Fish to assure consumers that ornamental fish have been sustainably sourced and handled ethically. Over the past year, discussions among conservation and aquarium groups have supported creating a high-profile certification program. This 3-page proposal provides an overview of initiative developments, an operational plan, and budget to launch the brand and certification process over 3 years with funding support. The goal is to benefit fish species, related industries, and engage consumers in sustainability.
Aquaculture production will need to increase substantially to meet rising global demand for fish. By 2030, aquaculture will need to produce 30 million additional tons per year compared to current production levels. While aquaculture growth has slowed slightly in recent decades, continuing at around 6-7% annually, it is still expected to surpass capture fisheries as the primary source of fish for human consumption in the near future. Small-scale farmers currently produce a large percentage of aquaculture worldwide but often struggle to access international markets. Greater organization and coordination will be needed for small producers to effectively supply growing global trade in seafood. Environmental sustainability and responsible use of resources like fishmeal will also be important challenges for the aquac

CONSULTATION 2010
Risks and Benefits of Consuming Seafood - Recommendations:
• Emphasize the net neurodevelopmental benefits to offspring
of women of childbearing age who consume fish, particularly
pregnant women and nursing mothers, and the
neurodevelopmental risks to offspring of women of
childbearing age who do not consume fish.
• Develop, maintain and improve existing databases on specific
nutrients and contaminants, particularly methylmercury and
dioxins, in fish consumed in their region.
• Develop and evaluate risk management and communication
strategies that both minimize risks and maximize benefits
from fish consumption.
