Effect of precautionary fishery management?
Is it right to feed fish to fish? The idea of landing large quantities of anchoveta, or sand eel, or most of the other species used in feed fisheries, and using them to provide food for the poor is a laudable objective, but unrealistic...there does not seem to be any foundation for the argument that aquaculture threatens the sustainability of South American reduction fisheries and, therefore, endangers the food security of those who are already undernourished or the income levels of the poor in Chile, Peru or anywhere else
The importance of sustainable fisheries: Where feed fisheries are not managed sustainably, aquaculture today constitutes an important threat to world fish stocks because of aquaculture s reliance on fishmeal and thus on reduction fisheries Most fisheries have been poorly managed at some stage Significant improvements have been made in the last ten years For example Peru now has some of the best managed fisheries in the world: RANKING MARITIME COUNTRIES BY THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THEIR FISHERIES Mondoux et al (2008)

Omega 3 s and Omega 6 s Well documented health benefits of EPA and DHA (heart and brain). Developed world diets too high in Omega 6, too low in Omega 3. Omega 6 tends to block absorption of Omega 3.

IFFO RS Update Feb 2013 Now over 100 certified factories Over 40% of global fishmeal production 17 whole fish stocks 63 species approved as by-products 12 Chain of Custody certificates Improver Program
Summary. Highly nutritious and renewable resource. Contribution to human health Supply stable but demand increasing. Move from commodity to high value ingredient. Upward pressure on price pulling in vegetable substitutes and increasing Omega 6 contribution Markets need to make informed choices on health and environmental benefits of alternative feed compositions.
