[Seafood Source] China’s fiercely competitive feed market is driving change in the country’s aquaculture sector by advising producers to move away from lower-value freshwater species like tilapia and carp and into higher-priced species.
March 2018 saw an inaugural mandarin fish production summit in the southern city of Foshan. It comes as similar conferences on bass, pangasius, shrimp, and croaker are being organized across the country this spring. The conferences are being organized by fish feed companies with the goal of creating demand and new markets for higher-value products like mandarin, snakehead, croaker, and shrimp.
