TL;DR: If the growing aquaculture industry is to sustain its contribution to world fish supplies, it must reduce wild fish inputs in feed and adopt more ecologically sound management practices.

TL;DR: This article reviewed trends in fishmeal and fish oil use in industrial aquafeeds, showing reduced inclusion rates but greater total use associated with increased aquaculture production and demand for fish high in long-chain omega-3 oils.

TL;DR: Although many fisheries stocks have declined precipitously throughout the world, fish farming--and especially shrimp and salmon farming--has boomed and increasingly large scale of these enterprises is now having unforeseen ecological consequences on ocean resources through habitat destruction, effluent discharge, exotic species introductions, and heightened fish catch for feed use.

TL;DR: It is shown that risks of damage to wild salmon populations, ecosystems, and society are large when salmon arefarmed in their native range, when large numbers of salmon are farmed relative to the size of wild populations, and when exotic pathogens are introduced.

TL;DR: Trends in fishmeal and fish oil use in industrial aquafeeds are reviewed, showing reduced inclusion rates but greater total use associated with increased aquaculture production and demand for fish high in long-chain omega-3 oils.
