- [MAJOR DIFFERENCES between SYNTHETIC ASTAXANTHIN AND NATURAL CAROTENOIDS](https://aquaculture-natural-solutions.com/major-differences-between-synthetic-astaxanthin-and-natural-carotenoids/): Salmon and trout consumers expect their products to feature a nice and vibrant red pink color. But truth in labelling matters. So as transparency. The derived petro-chemical additive called synthetic astaxanthin, still used by part of the industry, is not the one salmon and trout shoppers expect to get. It’s wrong to state this artificial pigment is similar to the natural sources. It’s even an official method to make the difference between a farmed and a wild salmon or trout (AOAC, Turujman et al.,1997). The enclosed table describes the main differences between natural sources and synthetic astaxanthin. Contact me if […]

- [Synthetic astaxanthin in salmon and trout: Time for a change](https://aquaculture-natural-solutions.com/synthetic-astaxanthin-in-salmon-and-trout-time-for-a-change/): One of the most sensitive questions from consumers is how farmed salmon or trout get their color? Since fishes cannot synthesize their own color, they must get it from their diets. Carotenoids, in particular astaxanthin, powerful antioxidant for all living animals, are added into the feed and give the symbolic and unique red-fleshed color, sign of quality and health, expected by the consumers.  Astaxanthin can be obtained either from natural sources or synthetic form. It is almost impossible to tell the difference between the two  solely based on visual appearance. Unfortunately, a lack of transparency still diffuses confusing messages on […]
- [The BLUE FISH FACTORY solution: a sustainable FISH PROTEIN HYDROLYSATE for aquafeeds and petfood](https://aquaculture-natural-solutions.com/sustainable-fish-protein-hydrolysate/): There is no doubt the aquafeed industry needs to do “more and better” in terms of sustainable use of marine ingredients. Outside price volatility, the sector is facing several major challenges when sourcing marine ingredients: extreme variability in the quality of fish meals; safety concerns with high levels of contaminants (heavy metals, microplastics…); sustainability issues with some poorly managed fisheries. In this context, the limited supply of wild fish stocks should drive the optimization in their process preserving the unrivalled nutritional values of marine ingredients compared to other alternatives. The Fish Protein Hydrolysates (FPH) of BLUE FISH FACTORY in Morocco […]

- [Panaferd-AX - natural pigment for shrimp: color and health !](https://aquaculture-natural-solutions.com/panaferd-ax-natural-pigment-for-shrimp-color-and-health/): Carotenoids are well known for their nutritional benefits. First as a strong color enhancer but also as a powerful antioxidant and nutriment involved in various major physiological functions such as reproduction, vision, skin protection… You will find a new paper published in Aquaculture Research, confirming the benefits of the natural pigment Panaferd-AX. This study reveals the properties of natural carotenoids for shrimps in 2 challenges for shrimp farmers: nice color and healthy animals. ANS has participated to this study conducted at Songkhla University in Thailand.  For more information: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/are.16061 Aquaculture Research
- [INSECT: A NEW TECH BUBBLE OR A FUTURE INDUSTRY ?](https://aquaculture-natural-solutions.com/insect-a-new-tech-bubble-or-a-future-industry/): The aquafeed industry begs for new ingredients to sustain the growing demand. Insect new born sector is willing to be a new candidate. Initially, these start-up companies were targeting the food market, presenting insects as “the food of the future” (Van Huis et al., 2013- FAO), which could ensure the world food security. Few years later, economics and customer’s reluctance had reasons to this promising market and push most companies to look for alternatives.  But aquafeed ingredient candidates should fulfill 4 main requirements the insects may not fully reached for the moment: Nutritional qualities: Aquafeeds require high protein levels with […]
- [Cold or Hot? Negative impact of processing conditions on ingredients and feed quality](https://aquaculture-natural-solutions.com/cold-or-hot-negative-impact-of-processing-conditions-on-ingredients-and-feed-quality/): Various studies have confirmed the effects of the processing conditions on both ingredients and aquafeed quality. Temperature represents without any doubt one of the main factors affecting the nutriment availability and digestibility. Most of the raw protein sources are denatured during heat cooking process, which reduces amino acid and peptide use. Fish larvae are extremely sensitive to the feed quality as their digestive system may not be fully in function. Development of effective weaning and starter diets is facing therefore various challenges for fulfilling the nutritional requirements with the proper physical quality adapted to the larval behavior. In a recently […]
- [SCOTTISH SALMON: Pioneer of the natural color](https://aquaculture-natural-solutions.com/scottish-salmon-pioneer-of-the-natural-color/): Over the world, the Scottish salmon is known for its premium quality and highest standards. It has been awarded EU PGI (Protected Geographical Indications) status, marking its quality and distinctive origins. It was also one of the earliest international food products to be awarded the coveted French “Label Rouge” designation for its outstanding superior taste, recognized during blind tests. The powerful Scottish Salmon Producers Organization, renamed recently as “Salmon Scotland” represents all of Scotland’s salmon producers, with the goals to support the development of this sector and promote at all levels their farming practices and sustainability commitments. In a recent […]
- [TUNA OIL, a valuable source of DHA for aquafeeds](https://aquaculture-natural-solutions.com/%ef%bf%bctuna-oil-a-valuable-source-of-dha-for-aquafeeds/): As the demand for fish oils grows and sustainability concerns drive most decisions, the issue of sourcing valuable n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) remains with few alternatives. There is a growing interest in algae oils, but supply is limited with high costs and unknown environmental assessments. GM oils enriched with omega 3 cannot be an option in markets such as Europe. Therefore, fish oils will still represent the best option to fulfill the nutritional requirements of major farmed species such as salmon and marine species. Tuna oil extracted from by-products of the tuna fishing industry represents a unique and […]
