Q

what are the main conclusions of the SAFEA report?

A
  1. ) the increase of marine food production requires harevsting and production on lower trophic levels of the marine food chain
  2. )mariculture has and will continue to move prodcution down in the food chain (=potential increase in production )
  3. ) fisheries will likely not increase as much as mariculture (too conservitiv)

Q

what are the key challenges for sustainable growth of mariculture?
- with the ambition to become as important as agriculture?

A

-proper environmental management
+ direct influen on marine ecosystem
+influence on remote ecosystem (feed resources)

  • stable and attractive working places
  • comprehensive knowledge on organisms, farming technology
  • economically sustainable companies
  • helath and welfare managemnet
  • production technology and managemnet for offshore cultivation

Q

what are problems we need to face when wanting to make seafood production as important as that from agriculture?

A
  • trophic level challenge of seafood production –> at the moment very inefficient
  • fed resource
  • cultural heritage
  • valuing ecosystem services
  • minimising the use of primary procution

Q

what is THE major challenge for increasing mariculture production ?

A

primary production in the sea is high, but the yields harvestedt seafood at the end i low!

  • low of thermodynamics
  • -> so much energy gets lost when going down in the food chain
  • —–»»> low efficiency

Q

why does it not make a big difference, when you fertilize and increase the primary production of mariculture?

A

because of to the long food chain 99 % gets lost –> doesnt really make difference

Q

how could humans reduce the looses in the marine primary production ?

A
  • culture and consume more seafood from low trophic levels

seaweed base food, mussels, crabs, oyster etc.

Q

what are possible new resources for fish feed?

A
  • single cell biomass (microalgae, bacteria/yeast)
  • farmed seaweed (low in fatty acids)
  • genetic modified high plants with DHA

Q

what is the demand on fish feed?

A
must contain omega 3 fatty acids: 
=
-ALA
-DHA
-EPA
17
Q

is the trophic level of farmed salmon or wild salmon lower ? and why?

A

trophic level of farmed fish lower due to the increased fraction of plat resource in fish feed.

18
Q

waht are the three general strategis for incresing mariculture?

A
  1. increse prodction of more organisms low in the food chain
  2. move farmed carnivores down in the food chain (by using feed from lower trophic levels; less fishmeal and fish oil)
  3. introduce ne omega 3 fatty acid sources for feed
19
Q

describe the sardine issue.

A

nothing is paid to the sea for its service.

the fisherman can fish in the sea for free (without INVESTING) and then sell it.

20
Q

the millennium ecosystem assessment in the early 2000 popularized the concept of ecosystem services and grouped the services into four broad categories. name the 4!

A
  1. provisioning (prodcution of food and water)
  2. regulating (control of climate )
  3. supporting (nutrient cycles adn oxygen production)
  4. cultural (spiritual and recreational benefits)
21
Q

what is the main problem of feeding the salmon feed from level 2/3?

A

already 99% is lost on the way to the fish meal

22
Q

what is the minimum trophic level of the top 15 globally catched fish species?

A

minim.

23
Q

kg primary production needed per kg fish.

more for wild fish or curltured?

A

much more for wild fish (especially tuna)

24
Q

what is the oceans most important ecosystem service?

A

primary production

25
Q

in the future:

must rather fisheries or mariculture provide the seafood neede for human food security?

A

global mariculture!!

26
Q

what is the long term aim of mariculture?

A
  • self sustaining mariculture

- based on mainly cultures marine resources -resources preferably taken from outside the human food chain
