| Abstract | Fishmeal is a critically important feed ingredient for use in animal (e.g., poultry and pork) and aquaculture production (e.g., salmon, trout, and shrimp). There is concern that demand for fishmeal may place additional stress on the world’s pelagic fisheries and may undermine the sustainability of some aquaculture systems that rely on fishmeal. Our research suggests that since 1998 market for fishmeal has changed. An important explanation is likely to be the increasing use of specialized feed formulations in the pork, poultry and aquaculture sectors. It is clear that growth in aquaculture production alone is insufficient to explain the structural change since growth in the use of fishmeal in aquaculture has slowed considerably despite the continued rapid growth in global aquaculture sector. The increasing relative price of fishmeal is likely to increase costs for animal producers, act as a stimulus for innovation and have considerable implications for the management of pelagic fisheries. |
