Advanced aquaculture technology from egg to plate
Background: The aquaculture potential
The world's appetite for fish is rising, and global human consumption in 2030 is projected to be 18% higher than today. Aquaculture is key to keeping up with this demand for a sustainable source of animal protein, as fish farms allow the world to produce more high-nutrient food with a lower CO2 footprint.
Though wild-caught fish make an essential contribution to the world's seafood supply, wild stocks of fish are nowhere near plentiful enough to feed a growing world population. In other words, farming fish helps protect the world's natural resources of fish.
Aquaculture is on the rise
Since 1990, aquaculture has grown by 527%. Looking ahead, the number of fish farms will rise on land and sea. FAO, The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, expects aquaculture to increase by more than 30% by 2030.
Let's create a sustainable future for fish farming
Aquaculture holds a massive potential to feed a growing world population. But it also faces a challenge in ensuring that operations are environmentally sustainable and energy efficient to lower operational costs and their carbon footprint.
Aquaculture has already undergone a massive development. Improved management practices and more efficient recirculating systems means everything from fish waste to disease control is handled efficiently to safeguard water quality, marine life, animal welfare, and nearby coastal communities.
Moving aquaculture into the future
But how to meet the pace of accelerating demands and fulfill the aquaculture industry's climate targets? The key will be using the sustainable technologies we already have available today to improve efficiency and reduce fossil-fuel dependency for recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS) and traditional fish farming systems.
Danfoss has been a close partner to the aquaculture industry since the dawn of the first experimental farm. Today, we offer the technology needed to support a sustainable future for the entire aquaculture value chain.
Our solutions help fish farmers and related businesses bring high-quality aquaculture products to the market from marine aquaculture and freshwater aquaculture, ensuring food safety and water quality.
