Recent research reveals an 85% decrease in wild fish needed to produce a kilogram of farmed fish over two decades, highlighting progress in sustainable aquaculture. As a leader, Vinh Hoan innovates in farming to protect the environment and ensure product quality.
What is Sustainable Aquaculture?
Sustainable aquaculture encompasses a holistic approach that prioritizes environmental, economic, and social aspects to enhance the capacity and efficiency of the aquaculture sector.
Aquaculture sustainability includes:
- Environment: Eco-friendly practices for biodiversity.
- Economy: Profitability with responsible resource use.
- Social: Community benefits and worker well-being.
In the pursuit of sustainable aquaculture practices, a paramount focus lies in minimizing environmental impacts. The key to achieving this is the development of suitable technology that adheres to eco-friendly principles.
Advancing Eco-Friendly Aquaculture through Technology:
- Cutting-edge technologies like microbial and nanotechnology applications hold promise in reducing environmental pollution.
- Holistic methods such as multi-trophic and organic aquaculture promote harmonious aquatic ecosystems.
Harnessing the Power of Renewable Energy:
- Incorporating renewable energy sources revolutionizes aquaculture, offering cost-effective and eco-friendly solutions.
- Wind-powered water pumps and solar-powered water heating systems are among the techniques to explore.
Reducing Fishmeal Dependency:
- Research on waste-to-wealth technologies as feed ingredients can further enhance sustainability.
Embracing Organic Aquaculture:
- Organic inputs yield healthy fish, free from pesticides and antibiotic residues for consumer safety.
- Addressing challenges and fostering growth in organic aquaculture is essential for a sustainable future.
