International Aquafeed July/August 2013 online now

I am delighted to announce that the new issue of International Aquafeed is at the printer and online now.

One of my highlights of this issue was interviewing Chris Ninnes, CEO, Aquaculture Stewardship Council. I asked Chris about the need for certification scheme and the role feed manufacturers can play in responsive aquaculture.

This issue really puts the 'international' in International Aquafeed. On the technology front, the team at Waterco, Australia writes about different types of filtration. While Mian Riaz of Texas A&M, USA writes on maintaining mineral quality in extruded feeds.

Elsewhere, we have an article on chelated minerals by Alvaro Rodriguez, Liptosa, Spain and two articles on probiotics by FF Khalil, Ahmed Ismail Mehrim and Montaha E M Hassan, Al-Mansoura University, Egypt and Dr Nguyen Nhu Tri and Prof Le Thanh Hung, Nong Lam University, Vietnam.

Our Expert Topic this issue is channel catfish. Commercial farming of this freshwater species is dominated by the USA and China. In a fascinating look back through the history books, Jim Steeby Mississippi Sate University, USA explores the origins of the commercial channel catfish industry in the USA.

I hope you enjoy reading this magazine as much as we did preparing it. I would love to hear any comments of feedback so get in touch at alicen@perendale.co.uk
