Summary

Feed costs account for more than half of the production costs in aquaculture. In particular this concerns organic aquaculture, which has to comply with specific rules for sourcing feed ingredients for organic feed. Thus, specific rules on feeds for carnivorous aquaculture animals request that the feed shall be sourced with the following priorities (EU Reg. 710/2009 art. 25k, as amended by EU Reg. 1358/2014): (a) organic feed products of aquaculture origin; (b) fish meal and fish oil from organic aquaculture trimmings; (c) fish meal and fish oil and ingredients of fish origin derived from trimmings of fish already caught for human consumption in sustainable fisheries; (d) organic feed materials of plant origin and of animal origin; (e) feed products derived from whole fish caught in fisheries certified as sustainable under a scheme recognised by the competent authority in line with the principles laid down in EU Reg. 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council. However, in practice these rules are challenging for sourcing of the adequate feed ingredients to fulfil the nutritional requirements of the aquaculture animals as well as the environmental and economic sustainability in line with the organic principles.


Summary translation

Foder omkostninger udgør ca. halvdelen af produktionsomkostningerne i akvakultur.
Dette er specielt gældende i økologisk akvakultur, hvor der gælder specifikke bestemmelser for oprindelsen af ingredienser i økologisk foder. Således skal ingredienser til f. eks. laksefisk som ørred følge en særlig liste, der omfatter: (a) Økologiske foder produkter af akvakultur oprindelse; (b) fiskemel og fiskeolie fremstillet fra afskær fra forarbejdning af økologiske akvakultur produkter; (c) fiskemel og fiskeolie fremstillet fra afskær fra forarbejdning af konsum fisk fanget ved bæredygtigt fiskeri; (d) økologiske foder materialer af plante og animalsk oprindelse; (e) foder ingredienser udvundet fra hel-fisk fanget i certificeret bæredygtige fiskerier. I praksis er disse regler imidlertid udfordrende i forhold til såvel opfyldelse af specifikke næringskrav for de økologisk opdrættede fisk som hensynet til miljø og økonomisk bæredygtighed i overensstemmelse med økologiske principper.
