RAS – two sides of a coin
Cons?
Pollution (nutrients &
optical)
Fish meal / oil
Bad quality /taste
Intensive husbandry
Bad welfare
Aggression
Not organic
…
Pros?
Fish is healthy
Highly efficient
Higher food safety
Higher quality
Low emission
Less resources
All year around
Sustainable
Close to the market
…

Pitfalls, Challenges & Opportunities
• ~30 years, no substantial market
African catfish
• no market, 1st placement inferior quality
Barramundi
• limited market, too high cost price
Happy Shrimp
• not competitive
Tilapia

Pitfalls, Challenges & Opportunities
• Pangasius, Tilapia, Cod, Turbot, Flounder
• Supermarkets (sustainability & product safety & quality)
• Cost price
Economy
• Resource use
• Waste management
Ecology
• Eel
• Reproduction & sustainability dialogue
• (Marine) Waste management
• Certifications (GlobalGAP, Aquaculture Stewardship Council)

IMARES
Pitfalls, Challenges & Opportunities
• African catfish Consolidation
• Claresse new market
• Eel dialogue & assessment
• Sturgeon Caviar less fisheries & illegal practices
• Sole product replacement
• Yellowtail kingfish product replacement
• Worm pond culture
Species driven
• Zeeland Sole extensive IMTA on land
• Shrimps Biofloc systems
• Urban RAS
• RAS export (e.g. to Norway, Africa, South America & Asia)
System driven

Conclusions
Dutch aquaculture sector = innovative
Well structured governance framework
Stakeholders dialogues & several umbrella organisations
Instruments in place to develop sustainable sector
animal welfare, nutrient emissions, new species, drug use & others
Some pitfalls & issues, but as well several opportunities
