Food waste could be used to create sustainable feed alternatives for fish
Apr 1 2021
Human food scraps could be used to create high-quality food for farmed fish, leading to a more sustainable global fish economy, according to a team of researchers at The University of Western Australia.
PhD student Katarina Doughty, from UWA’s Oceans Institute and School of Biological Sciences said the global dependence on fish products – both farmed and wild-caught – was rising, with roughly three billion people relying on seafood as a primary source of protein.
The population is expected to exceed 9.6 billion by 2050, and the seafood sector is under great pressure to maximize production, while remaining within sustainable planetary boundaries.”
