A variety of new feed ingredients are emerging in the aquaculture sector. While technology readiness these options varies across and within ingredient classes, it remains important to consider them terms overall spectrum. In this review, use marine, grain, terrestrial animal by-product a range novel (e.g., bacterial yeast) resources being considered as potential protein feedstuffs for aquafeeds is explored. comparing nutritional attributes each an assessment framework applied based on...
Summary Aims The influence of socio‐economic status on the prevalence Type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, was explored using routinely collected healthcare data for population Tayside, Scotland. Methods Among 366 849 Tayside residents, 792 5474 patients with diabetes, respectively, were identified from a register. Carstairs Score used as proxy status. This is material deprivation measure derived UK census, postcode four key variables. Odds ratios prevalence, adjusted age, determined...
<h3>Abstract</h3> <b>Objectives:</b> To identify all patients with diabetes in a community using electronic record linkage of multiple data sources and to compare this method case ascertainment registers diabetic derived from primary care. <b>Design:</b> Electronic capture-recapture records included on attending hospital clinics, encashed prescriptions for related drugs monitoring equipment, discharged hospital, mobile unit eye screening, results glycated haemoglobin plasma glucose...
<h3>Abstract</h3> <b>Objectives:</b> To investigate patterns of self monitoring blood glucose concentration in diabetic patients who use insulin and to determine whether frequency is related glycaemic control. <b>Setting:</b> Diabetes database, Tayside, Scotland. <b>Subjects:</b> Patients resident Tayside 1993-5 were using registered on the database diagnosed with dependent (type 1) or non-insulin 2) diabetes before 1993. <b>Main outcome measures:</b> Number reagent strips dispensed (reagent...
Background Infantile spasms is the name given to a difficult treat, severe infantile epilepsy with high morbidity. The United Kingdom Spasms Study (UKISS) showed that absence of on days 13 and 14 after randomisation was more common in infants allocated hormonal treatments than vigabatrin. At 12–14 months, those no identified aetiology treatment had better development. However, outcome not affected by allocated. It known if difference development persists as grow. Methods Infants UKISS were...
Efficiency assessments of marine ingredient use in aquaculture are required to fully understand their contribution global seafood supply and impacts on all UN Sustainable Development Goals. Fish In: Out (FIFO) ratios have become the principal metric used ensure does not negatively impact wild fish stocks. However, several approaches been advocated calculate FIFO ratio there criticisms that different employed lead over- or under- estimates dependence ingredients. Critically, align with Life...
The larvae of black soldier fly (BSF) have shown great promise in transforming organic wastes into a more valuable larval biomass. Importantly, after insects been harvested the remaining by-product, comprised spent substrate and frass (insect faeces), has potential to be used as biofertiliser. Three field-scale experiments investigate whether biofertilisers (made from either poultry waste, brewery waste or green market waste) could successfully incorporated current small-holder farming...
Abstract Trends in aquatic food consumption were matched against farm production surveys within Hubei province and compared to official data statistics. Surveys showed that consumer tastes changing a much broader menu as their spending power increased. Traditional aquaculture species becoming less profitable due reduced profit margins input costs increased preferences changed. Consequently, many producers diversifying meet local demand. Some farmers also de-intensifying by reducing...
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), like 22:6n-3 (Docosahexaenoic acid; DHA) and 20:5n-3 (Eicosapentaenoic EPA), are recognized for a range of important physiological roles in many aquaculture species. While the effects EPA DHA on performance attributes meat qualities well recognized, an increasing awareness their role immune function, reproduction, bone formation stress response is also emerging. Against this background demand, global supplies LC-PUFA dominated by fish oil...

We investigated aquaculture production of Asian tiger shrimp, whiteleg giant river prawn, tilapia, and pangasius catfish in Bangladesh, China, Thailand, Vietnam by using life cycle assessments (LCAs), with the purpose evaluating comparative eco-efficiency producing different aquatic food products. Our starting hypothesis was that systems are associated significantly environmental impacts, as these species differs intensity management practices. In order to test this hypothesis, we estimated...
Abstract China is the world's largest capture fisheries and aquaculture producer. Over recent decades, China's domestic marine catch composition has changed markedly, from large volumes of a few high‐valued food species to multiple, small, low‐valued, species, significant proportion which primarily used as animal, especially fish, feed. Despite growing volume economic importance feed catches, their composition, socio‐environmental impacts are all poorly understood. Based on nationwide survey...
Abstract EU aquaculture produces only a small fraction of the internal demand aquatic foods, but boosting this activity must be done in compliance with high standards environmental protection and social benefits, as fostered by policies on circular economy recently launched EU. Nevertheless, assessment sustainability other food production systems is complex, due to different tools approaches available. Moreover, current regulatory framework may restricting options implement some solutions....
Sustainability analyses of aquaculture typically ignore the fate and value processing by-products. The aim this study was to characterise nutritional content common by-products (heads, frames, trimmings, skin, viscera) five important finfish species farmed in Europe; Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar ), European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) , gilthead seabream ( Sparus aurata carp (Cyprinus carpio) turbot Psetta maxima ) inform on best utilisation strategies. Our results indicate a...
