As demand for all food rises, the question of how to sustainably farm fish is becoming pressing. For one, there is the issue of feed. Looking for answers in a recent experiment, @SalmoSim found that plastic-fed waxworms could be suitable feed for Salmon.https://t.co/NBIxD3r8yu
Here is another one from @Aquafeeddotcom https://t.co/PO04cJdzgt - the protein content of wax worms is lower than other meals, but the protein that is there seems highly digestible. A little preprocessing required ? @martllewellyn @UofG_SBOHVM
Our new report shows that wax worms fed on waste plastic may be a viable protein replacement in farmed salmon feed #circulareconomy https://t.co/LVEx0WVblf
Very interesting day seeing how @BBSRC investment in aquaculture research underpins development and innovation of importance to the aquaculture industry - arranged by @sustain_aqua
Visited two start-up companies using research to improve fish health

The SalmoSim crew are having a great time at Rimini #AE22RIM#Rimini#AquacultureEurope If you are here and would like to see a fun presentation of our eposter about protein digestibility, send us a wee message! No problem! Ci vediamo presto!
Some exciting sustainability solutions in the aquaculture world involve everything from hemp to satellites. My latest piece for @FoodMattersLive: https://t.co/wY0VjozU3Z
Delighted that we https://t.co/EVyvUQabcm are helping @Monik_Beta and @IoAStirling develop hemp as a sustainable feed for salmonids. Let's farm the oceans, not trawl them. Some cool coverage here https://t.co/HrCUmQKnpf @UofGMVLS@martllewellyn
SalmoSim scientists will be going to the #AquacultureEurope 2022 "Innovative solutions in a changing world" in Rimini, Italy, 27-30 September, 2022
https://t.co/gbPFfzwwXH We will present our exciting research findings, hopefully see some of you you there! @easaqua

🆕 .@SalmoSim, a UofG salmon simulator spin-out founded by @martllewellyn, has secured a new contract with Dutch company Royal DSM to support the development of its sustainable aquaculture feed offering. @sustain_aqua @IBAHCM 🐟
Pleased to see our supplier of electronics and probes, Robesol, has featured our prototype bioreactor controller on their instagram page #arduino#bioreactor#biotechnology
