We have a PhD studentship available: “Investigating comprehensive sustainability indicators for global aquaculture”
Dave Little and Richard Newton participated in the kick-off meetings for the DANIDA funded ‘Climate resilient aquatic food systems for healthy lives of young women and girls in Bangladesh project’ aka the AQUAFOOD project.
The second annual meeting of the Horizon Europe project “SmartAqua4FuturE” (SAFE) was held in Logroño in La Rioja region of Spain in November 2023.
Congratulations to Steph Horn and Arsénio Hilinganye on successfully passing their PhD vivas.
Professor David Little was recently interviewed by James Wright for the Global Aquaculture Advocate website and magazine. The interview considers current trends in aquaculture development and issues such as the attention that is now given to farmed animal welfare and how that is changing practices in both Europe and Asia.
Professor Dave Little in Thailand for Eurastip project meeting with Dr. Chum-narn Pong-sri, Deputy Director General Dept. of Fisheries of Thailand this week. EURASTiP establishes and develops national and international networks relevant to industry needs and research and development prioritisation, capitalising on existing best practice, training and technology transfer.
Our research shows that common perspectives on aquaculture are wildly out of sync with current developments. In fact, the vast majority of farmed fish is consumed in the same developing countries where it is produced, and is widely accessible to poorer consumers in these markets. Most of it comes from a dynamic new class of small- and medium-scale commercial farms, the existence of which is rarely recognized. To understand the potential of aquaculture to feed the world, researchers and consumers need to appreciate how dynamic this industry is.
Trevor Telfer, John Bostock and other colleagues from the Institute of Aquaculture contributed to a recent Business Engagement Event organised by the University of stirling Faculty of Natural Sciences. Over 40 local organisations participated including several directly involved in the aquaculture sector.
The Scottish salmon farming industry could generate an additional £23.7 million a year if it used its salmon by-products more judiciously.
