The Big Fish Series: Can you eat the whole fish? Wednesday January 19th 12-1pm Dear colleagues and friends, Wishing you all a Happy New Year! We would like to invite you to register for the first The Big Fish Series<https://thebigfishseries.stir.ac.uk/> of 2022: ‘Can you eat the whole fish?’ is the second seminar of the second series co-hosted with Ca’ Foscari University of Venice<https://www.unive.it/> on 19th January 12:00-13:00 (GMT). We invite you to register here<https://stir-ac-uk.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_SR5xi0W8TE2FS7-0mrTLdg>! The Big Fish series is a free online seminar series brought to you by the University of Stirling’s, Institute of Aquaculture<https://www.stir.ac.uk/about/faculties/natural-sciences/aquaculture/>. The purpose of this series is to highlight seafood’s roles in sustainable food systems. Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, coordinated the H2020 project GAIN<http://www.unive.it/gainh2020_eu> – Green Aquaculture INtensification in Europe (May 2018 – October 2021), which developed innovative processes for reusing side-streams and extracting valuable secondary products from farmed fish. There are two Worlds in regard to how fish is consumed and this seminar will consider both. As demand for processed products has grown so has waste but also opportunities to add value to lower value byproducts. The GAIN project has looked at what it will take to reduce such waste in seafood systems in Europe through scientific and technical innovations, new policies and economic instruments, and the mitigation of social constraints. But in another World people DO eat the whole fish because it is culturally preferred and can deliver more nutritional benefit. Our panel will reflect these two Worlds and different approaches to taking waste out of seafood systems and optimizing benefits for the Global population challenged by the environmental impacts of food production and malnutrition. The seminar will open with a short presentation outlining strategies to take waste out of aquaculture by Professor Roberto Pastres, https://www.unive.it/ showcasing research from the GAIN project in collaboration with researchers at the Institute of Aquaculture. This will be followed by a video mash-up of academic, industry and consumer views and an interactive discussion on the topic with a diverse panel of experts. We would like to invite you to participate in the event by providing a photograph of how YOU eat fish or a video of how you prepare and consume it in a short 30 second video.

The Big Fish Series - Blue Food: A Food Systems Solution? Free online webinar 29th September 12-1pm BST

by bigfishseries＠lists.stir.ac.uk

[Text Description automatically generated with medium confidence] The Big Fish Series Blue Food: A Food Systems Solution? September 29th 12-1pm Dear Colleagues and friends, Thank you for registering for The Big Fish Series<https://thebigfishseries.stir.ac.uk/> free online webinars brought to you by the University of Stirling's Institute of Aquaculture<https://www.stir.ac.uk/about/faculties/natural-sciences/aquaculture/> and co-hosts. The purpose of this series is to highlight Seafood's Roles in Sustainable Food Systems. 'Blue Food: A Food Systems Solution?' is the first webinar kicking off the second series co-hosted by Stockholm Resilience Centre<https://www.stockholmresilience.org/>. REGISTER HERE<https://stir-ac-uk.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_XoAaJpRxTGuTg-WKz0rzpw> The Stockholm Resilience Centre<https://www.stockholmresilience.org/>, University of Stockholm is an international research centre on resilience and sustainability science and one of the leaders of the Blue Food Assessment. The Blue Food Assessment<https://bluefood.earth/what-we-do/> (BFA) is an international joint initiative bringing together over 100 scientists from more than 25 institutions. Led by the Stockholm Resilience Centre<https://www.stockholmresilience.org/> at Stockholm University, the Center for Ocean Solutions and the Center on Food Security and the Environment at Stanford University<https://www.stanford.edu/>, and EAT<https://eatforum.org/>, the Blue Food Assessment supports decision-makers in evaluating trade-offs and implementing solutions to build healthy, equitable and sustainable food systems. The Blue Food Assessment presents an unprecedented review of the aquatic foods sector and has uncovered how fisheries and aquaculture can play a greater role in delivering healthy diets and more sustainable, equitable and resilient food systems around the world. Five peer-reviewed papers<https://bluefood.earth/science/> on Nutrition<https://bluefood.earth/science/nutrition/>, Environmental Performance<https://bluefood.earth/science/environmental-performance/>, Climate Change<https://bluefood.earth/science/climate/>, Small-Scale Fisheries and Aquaculture<https://bluefood.earth/science/small-scale-actors/>, and Demand<https://bluefood.earth/science/demand/> highlight the opportunities to leverage the vast diversity of aquatic, or "blue", foods in the coming decades to address malnutrition, lower the environmental footprint of the food system, and provide livelihoods. The research projects that global demand for blue foods will roughly double by 2050, and will be met primarily through increased aquaculture production rather than by capture fisheries. Investing in innovation and improving fisheries management could increase consumption even more and have profound effects on malnutrition. For instance, a "high growth" modelling scenario showed that increasing supply by 15.5 million tons (8%), causing a drop in prices, would reduce cases of nutrient deficiencies by 166 million, especially among low-income populations. Blue foods were found to rank more highly than terrestrial animal-source foods in terms of their nutritional benefits and potential for sustainability gains. Many blue food species are rich in important nutrients. Compared to chicken, trout has approximately eight times more omega-3 fatty acids; oysters and mussels have hundreds of times more vitamin B-12 and five times more iron; and carps have seven times more calcium. The nutritional benefits of blue foods are especially important for women, who were found to benefit more than men from increased consumption in nearly three times the number of countries studied. On average, the major species produced in aquaculture, such as tilapia, salmon, catfish and carp, were found to have environmental footprints comparable to chicken, the lowest-impact terrestrial meat. Small pelagic species like sardines and anchovies, bivalves and seaweeds all already offer lower stressors than chicken. Further investments to improve the sector's efficiency and reduce its environmental footprint can have sector-wide benefits, including for less commonly raised species like European bass, weakfish, flatfish, sea breams and milkfish. The research found that blue food systems facing the highest risk from climate change are also typically located in those regions where people rely on them most and where they are least equipped to respond and adapt to climate hazards. Further information can be found in the recently published research papers produced as part of the Blue Food Assessment, available online<https://bluefood.earth/science/>. A list of the BFA leadership team is also available here<https://bluefood.earth/our-team/>. This webinar will open with a short presentation outlining the Report synthesis of the Blue Food Assessment by Dr Beatrice Crona, Deputy Science Director and Associate Professor, Stockholm Resilience Centre. This will be followed by a video mash-up of academic, industry and consumer views and an interactive discussion on the topic with a diverse panel of experts. The audience will have an opportunity to present questions to the Panel. We look forward to hearing your thoughts and to seeing you at the seminar.

[Graphical user interface, text, application Description automatically generated] The Big Fish Series: Is governance the missing ingredient for sustainable aquaculture? May 12th, 1-2 pm Dear Colleagues and friends, Thank you for registering for The Big Fish Series<https://thebigfishseries.stir.ac.uk/> free online seminars brought to you by the University of Stirling's Institute of Aquaculture<https://www.stir.ac.uk/about/faculties/natural-sciences/aquaculture/> and co-hosts. The purpose of this series is to highlight Seafood's Roles in Sustainable Food Systems. 'Is governance the missing ingredient for sustainable aquaculture?' is the fourth seminar of the series co-hosted by The Centre of Sustainability Governance at Wageningen University & Research. Register here<https://stir-ac-uk.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_UPtOY6I_SHazt5RJKmRZNA>. The Centre for Sustainability Governance at Wageningen University & Research<https://www.wur.nl/en/About-Wageningen.htm> contributes innovative approaches for addressing the challenges of governing sustainability from the local to the global scale. Its mission is strongly integrated in the domains of environment, food and health, through active collaborations with colleagues from natural and technical science disciplines. A team of academics at the Centre have worked closely with a consortium of partners from around the world to address the challenges of governing aquaculture. The sustainability of the aquaculture industry is a shared goal among governments and markets around the world. But achieving sustainability is made challenging by the continued rapid expansion of the sector. Ensuring sustainability not only depends on improved practice on farms. It also depends on the governance of the industry. That is, the role that governments, the private sector, NGOs, certification organisations collectively play in developing legitimate solutions and opportunities for sustainable innovation. 'Is governance the missing ingredient for sustainable aquaculture?' explores the role of governance in realising the ambitions of the sector and introduces the Aquaculture Governance Indicators (AGI) as a framework for assessing the performance of aquaculture governance around the world. The seminar will open with a short presentation outlining the research of the AGI provided by Dr Simon Bush, Wageningen University & Research. This will be followed by a video mash-up of academic, industry and consumer views and an interactive discussion on the topic with a diverse panel of experts. We would like to invite you to participate in the event by providing your views on the topic in a short 30 second video. How does the effectiveness of state and private governance effect your ambitions for sustainable aquaculture? What challenges do you face in getting support for making changes to your farms?
