Dragon Feeds was set up with the specific purpose of developing a sustainable alternative to fishmeal. The aquaculture industry has been dominated for many years by a small number of large feed producers who are constantly telling us that they are working towards a sustainable alternative, which to date has not been forthcoming. Yes they have produced feeds using alternative proteins to fish meal but these have had marginal if any success and have made no impact on the industry.

Over the past three years Dragon Feeds has developed a viable alternative to fishmeal that has resolved the problems highlighted above.

• A method of binding the appropriate amino acid to the protein has been introduced and as a result fish and invertebrates are able to more efficiently digest the required amounts of amino acid. This results in superior growth, less waste and less water pollution.

• The introduction of farmed polychaetes into the feed has acted as a significant attractant, thus making the feed more palatable to fish and invertebrates.

Celebrating Sustainable Seafood

The second Celebration for Sustainable Seafood was held at Billingsgate School on Wednesday 23rd September. The audience was made up of 90 fishmongers, chefs, seafood buyers, fish merchants, fishermen, seafood industry experts and non governmental organisations such as the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and the Marine Conservation Society (MCS). It is not often that such a diverse audience gathers under one roof and questions sparked by the presentations on the day lead to lively debate across the world of seafood.
