USDA-ERS has created a new web section that provides a side-by-side comparison of the new farm bill with previous legislation

Demand for the ‘4 Fs’ - food, feed, fibre and fuel - is set to continue to increase worldwide

New research shows that mice eating sugar together with fat become significantly fatter than mice that eat protein with fat. The results will be used to examine what happens when diets with marine omega-3 fatty acids are combined with sugar

Aquaculture looks set to equalize capture fisheries in the contribution of fish for human consumption (excluding fisheries for fishmeal production) in 2008, according to the latest FAO Food Outlook- Global Market Analysis

The new Dossier shows that in 2007 38% of the fishmeal used in the UK was produced from trimmings from food fish processing

Total catfish feed delivered in the United States during May 2008 was 82,653 tons, down 23 percent from May 2007, but up significantly from the previous month

A review by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO)of over 40 closed-containment systems from around the world found that none was producing exclusively adult Atlantic salmon and that many previous attempts to do so had failed. Reasons for failure were numerous and were often interrelated. These reasons included but were not limited to mechanical breakdown, poor fish performance, management failure, declines in market price and inadequate financing
Five types of production systems were described and examined: (a) conventional net pen; (b) floating, closed-confinement systems with rigid walls; (c) floating, closed-confinement systems with flexible walls; (d) land-based flow-through system; and, (e) a land-based reuse system.

New research at NIFES shows that the farmed salmon`s requirement for taurine is met when the feed contains sufficient amount of the precursor amino acids

New research gives levels of DHA that ensure better growth, survival and normal pigmentation in Atlantic halibut larvae
