A University of Washington study finds that aquaculture's growing reliance on wild-caught forage fish could exhaust supply without changes. It lists options including shifting to soy-based diets, raising forage fish catches by 30% over 2012 levels, and improving farmed fish efficiency, with the work published in Nature Sustainability.
The study suggests a structural shift toward soy and crop-based feeds, which supports soybean meal demand and keeps pressure on fishmeal supply. Its effect on near-term prices is minimal since it is a research paper.
