Global fishmeal and fish oil prices are, to a large extent, linked to the supply situation in South America (Peru and Chile) and demand from Asia (primarily China). Peru is the largest source of fishmeal and fish oil output today and the world’s largest producer and exporter of fishmeal and fish oil. An unsuccessful season in Peru might cause as much as a 20% decrease in global output. Given the quota size and the potential impacts on the stock from this year’s El Niño, Peru has recently canceled the first fishing season for anchovy in the north central zone, creating new challenges for the global market of fishmeal and fish oil. The cancellation of the Peruvian anchovy season will inevitably increase feed prices, thus aquafeed producers must prepare to use nutritional strategies to reduce the inclusion of fishmeal and fish oil while maintaining the performance of shrimp feeds.
Aqualyso, a lyso-phospholipid (LPL) based digestibility enhancer developed for application in fish and shrimp, is proposed as a solution to relieve cost pressure from fishmeal, fish oil and lecithin prices. LPLs are produced by the controlled hydrolysis of phospholipids in soybean lecithin.
