The world's first insect-fed salmon is now available, ushering in a new era of sustainable aquaculture. 'The Friendly Salmon' is raised on natural and circular proteins made from insects. Protix developed the insect-based ProteinX ingredient, and together with their partners developed a well-balanced feed that entirely replaces fishmeal. Protix will hold a launch event on February 27 in Bergen to mark the occasion.
Ridley Corporation has broken ground and begun construction of its new aqua feed mill in Westbury, Tasmania. The mill will have a 50,000 tonne capacity to manufacture and supply feed primarily to the Tasmanian salmon industry, as well as other aquaculture species on the mainland and in New Zealand. "It will have the latest milling technology and will provide a platform for our customers that is globally cutting edge.”
