A Dutch research session discussed the growing use of fishmeal and fish oil in aquaculture feed. Industrial fish catches for feed have expanded at the expense of small-scale fishers and raised fish prices for poor consumers.
Feed companies are developing alternatives such as insects, microbes and algae, though these remain costly and face EU approval limits.
Sustained aquafeed demand for fishmeal and fish oil supports prices, while substitution efforts could gradually ease that demand. Regulatory limits slow how fast alternatives can scale.
