This workshop offered the opportunity for constructive and meaningful debate on the subject of future feed sustainability for the aquaculture industry. This is a vital step toward achieving informed consensus in pursuit of sustainable feed options suitable for an industry of the future.


The SEAfeeds workshop brought together for the first time the diverse range of viewpoints in open debate. In addition to helping policy makers and advisers to make informed decisions, the workshop sought to achieve areas of consensus regarding the sustainability of feed for aquaculture. Clear communication of current work and discussion between stakeholders enabled the debate to move forward in a constructive manner and identify according to a variety of sustainability criteria the best future policy for feed within the global aquaculture industry.


Providing a forum to facilitate these discussions between farmers, feed producers, environmentalists, fishmeal manufacturers, sustainability criteria experts and labelling / consumer organisations provided the best opportunity to achieve meaningful progress in the debate, leading to policy guidelines for decision-makers at all levels.
