We are on the cusp of major shortages of food that form some 30 to 40% of the cost of living in many countries. Dr Michael Metz, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc.
For Australia the reality is that we are likely to be net importers of seafood (value terms) within just 3 4 years.

neutral environment. The most efficient fish species can already achieve food conversion ratios (FCR) of 1:1 or less, which is substantially lower than can be realized for land-based animals. Certain fish species, such as barramundi, can also efficiently convert grain-based proteins and lipids to body weight. Use of these non-marine derived feed inputs is expected to grow dramatically, as fishmeal and fish oils increase in price and decrease in availability due to declining supplies of pelagic fish inputs. In the decade to 2015, world aquaculture production will at least double, an average annual growth rate of not less than 7.0% pa, and potentially very much more. During this period we expect that global fish prices will show a marked appreciation, as the steady increase in fish demand collides with a marked reduction in wild catch supply. _____________________

Human consumption accounts for approximately 75% of Total World Fish Production. Note: The above data differs from that used elsewhere in this report, in that it states aquaculture production at a lower level (possibly because of the exclusion of the Aquatic Plants aspect of aquaculture - about 14 million tonnes in recent years).

In the above chart it should be noted that fish is a very significant element of the animal protein consumed in Japan and China. As other Asian countries develop economically, we expect that there will be a similar high propensity to consume increased amounts of fish. Long term data shows that global per capita fish consumption has risen steadily from just under 14 kg/pa in 1990 to about 16.5 kg/pa in 2005. This trend is forecast to continue, reaching 19.1 kg/pa by 2015.

The forecast increase in per capita consumption of fish 1.1% pa in the period to 2015 - marks a continuation of long term trends. Since 1961 global per capita fish consumption has increased from 9.0 kg pa, at a rate of about 1.45% pa. There are a number of factors driving greater fish consumption: Global demographics with an aging population and higher rates of population and economic growth in Asia are both prompting ongoing significant increases in fish demand. The valid health claims of fish are prompting an increase in demand for high quality fish, and not only from the Western World. Omega 3s are increasingly being seen as having important health benefits to man. The major source of Omega-3s are fatty fish.

A four year study of 7,800 marine species around the worlds ecosystems has concluded that at present rates of fishing the worlds stocks of seafood will have collapsed by 2048. The report which was authored by Dr Boris Worm and Dr Ransom Myers of Dalhousie University states that by the year 2048, catches of all the presently fished seafood will have declined on average by more than 90 percent since 1950. This loss of biodiversity will impair the oceans from feeding a growing human population which is expected to rise by 50 percent to 9 billion by 2050. Overfishing also destroys the stability of marine environments reducing the oceans ability to produce seafood, resist diseases, filter pollutants and rebound from stresses such as climate change.

A perfect example of how over-exploitation and mismanagement has led to a fishery collapse is the cod fishery off Newfoundland, Canada, which collapsed in 1992. (Collapse is defined as a stock decline to less than 10% of the original stock level). Five hundred years ago, the explorer John Cabot reported that codfish ran so thick you could catch them by hanging wicker baskets over a ships side. In 1968 the cod catch increased to a peak of 800,000 tonnes, but by 1975 the annual catch had fallen by more than 60%. During the 1970s and 1980s the cod catch remained steady, mainly as a result of improved fishing methods. However by 1992 cod stocks were at the lowest levels ever measured and the Canadian government was forced to close the fishery. Overnight some 30,000 people lost their jobs. Despite the ban, stocks have still not recovered, and it is not certain whether they ever will. One of most destructive forms of fishing has been the massive longline fishing in the open ocean, which has been an indiscriminate killer, with large portions of the catch (the bycatch) simply being dumped at sea. Data provided by the longliners does now give a useful picture of the extent to which most of the worlds fisheries have been destroyed. The two maps below compare the changes in the number of fish caught per 100 hooks in the Japanese longline fishing industry between 1959 and 1999 for tuna and billfish.

In the above map, the No. of points where the No. of Fish caught per 100 hooks Exceeded 5 = + 170 Data Points.

In other words almost every area which previously provided a significant catch for the longliners has now been virtually exhausted. It should also be noted that even in 1959 the long liners were having minimal success in the seas off Eastern Asia.
Global Warming Global warming has many negative effects on world fisheries, and will substantially increase pressure on fish populations which are already strained. Average global surface temperatures are projected to increase by 1.5 to 5.8 degrees Celsius by 2100 (Houghton et al). These warmer temperatures can push fish food sources into colder waters disturbing the ecosystems and increasing competition for food negatively effecting fish survival rates. Researchers forecast substantial shifts in fish habitats, decreasing water quality and disappearing wetlands (Pew Report). The Pew Report specifically mentions the devastation of trout and salmon as climate change continues. Habitat Destruction Large scale use of bottom trawling, which involves dragging heavy nets along the sea floor is destroying the habitat which it cuts through. Bottom trawling also stirs up the sediments on the ocean floor with the resulting suspended solids pollution moving with currents to create environmental impacts remote from the site of the actual trawling. This destruction of habitat and suspended solids pollution results in the death of many marine species and has a multiplier effect up the food chain. This destruction of habitat and suspended solids pollution results in the death of many marine species. In addition to the destruction of habitat caused by bottom trawling, the by-catch ratio (waste that is discarded) can run up to 10 kg of by-catch per kg of targeted product caught.
In November 2006, the European Union fisheries ministers agreed to tighten controls on reported catches by using satellite technology to track each fishing vessel at sea. Log books will be replaced by electronic reporting through computers. Scientists have noted that if fishing is banned altogether for several years in a specific area, the overall catch can be increased in a sustainable way. In some areas where such bans have occurred, the number of fish increased 90% within a few years, their size increased 30% and the number of species by 20%. The time for fish stock recovery is however dependent upon the species of fish. It often takes fifteen years or more for full recovery, and can rarely be achieved in less than ten years.

Tilapia, a major aquaculture success story of the past decade (despite being of only average quality), has enjoyed a rapid growth in consumption and steady increases in selling prices within the US. Over the past decade US tilapia consumption has seen an average compound growth rate of 27% pa. (Note that the average tilapia yield is only 32% of whole fish as fillets. A price of $US1.40 per pound of whole fish therefore equals approximately $US4.37 per pound of fillet).

1.13 OTHER KEY CONSUMER TRENDS - FOCUS ON HEALTH BENEFITS OF FISH AS A KEY SOURCE OF OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS
Fats fall into three main groups, saturated, mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated. Of these groups, saturated fats are considered to be very unhealthy. In the human diet there is a place for mono-unsaturated fats, the best known example being olive oil. The third type, polyunsaturated fatty acids, are essential for good health and normal growth. They fall into 2 groups, Omega 6 and Omega 3. These fats cannot be manufactured by the human body and must therefore be supplied in diet. The Omega 3 fatty acids are essential to life at every stage, even before birth. They are found in every membrane of every cell in the human body and help to ensure that the cell membrane is ideally equipped to do its job. They are also used in the regulation of all biological functions, including those of the cardiovascular, reproductive, immune and nervous system. To achieve good health it is essential to obtain enough Omega 3 from the diet. Specific key benefits of Omega 3 are as follows: 1. Protects against fatal heart attacks: Anti-thrombotic Helps reduce platelet aggregation that can form potentially fatal blood clots. Triglyceride reduction Reduces high triglyceride levels which are a heart risk factor. Arrhythmia prevention Helps protect against heartbeat abnormalities. Inhibition of inflammation Helps stabilise arterial plaques so they are less likely to rupture. Arterial elasticity Improves arterial elasticity reducing the risk of a heart attack. Lowers blood pressure. Lowers blood viscosity the heart does not have to work as hard to pump blood around the body. 2. Plays a role in the prevention of some forms of cancer, namely: Breast cancer; Prostate cancer; Bowel (colon) cancer; and Lung cancer. 3. Aids in forming and maintaining a sound body and mind: Foetal brain development Foetal brain, eye and neural development all require substantial amounts of DHA which is found in Omega 3. Omega 3 is critical during the last three months of pregnancy and the first year of life. Some of the advantages of higher doses of Omega 3 during this time are faster eyesight and physical development and improved IQ and learning capabilities. Increased intakes can result in improved concentration and behaviour in children, especially those with learning difficulties. Omega 3 might be natures Prozac as studies have found Omega 3 fatty acids have caused striking improvements in severely depressed and suicidal patients. ADHD Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (found in between 3-5% of British and US children), is shown to improve when the children are supplemented with Omega polyunsaturates. Dementia A recent study has shown that people who eat fish or seafood at least once a week have a significantly lower risk of developing dementia. The study concluded that the Omega 3 fatty acids found in oily fish and fish oil supplements can reduce inflammation of the brain and also play a part in brain development and nerve cell regeneration. There is a significant variation in the Omega 3 content of various seafood products, as shown below:
Omega-3 Content in mg per 5 oz Serving
Swordfish 600mg
Tilapia 294mg
Shrimp 270mg
Cod 240mg

The table below shows aquaculture production growth by continent over the last 10 years.
The pie chart shows that Asia is by far the largest producer of fish from aquaculture with a huge 92%. The rest of the worlds combined 8% is almost negligible when compared with Asian production. Note also that aquaculture in the Western world is growing at about half the global average rate. This imbalance is something that the Western world will need to address if we are to create our own sustainable source of fish. It is also important to note that a large portion of the Asian production is consumed in Asia and is not destined for the export markets.
Oceania, 0.3%
Aquaculture Production compared with Capture Production Between 1995 and 2005 fish production from capture fisheries was essentially static, with an annual growth rate of just 0.1%. Based on this it is clear that production from capture fisheries has stopped growing, with a risk of a marked downturn. We believe that it is simply a matter of time before the downturn commences, even if governments dont enforce tighter controls. In comparison, the compound growth rate for production from aquaculture between 1995 and 2005 was 7.3%. Even though this is down from 10.6% pa for the preceding 10 year period, it is still very significant growth, resulting in a doubling of production over 10 years. The chart below shows the compound growth rates for total fish production, capture fish production and aquaculture fish production over 10 year periods starting from 1955.

Total 12 10 Percentage Growth 8 6 4 2 0 1965 1975 1985 1995 2005 Capture Aquaculture
Based on the above growth data which shows that production from capture fisheries has stopped growing and that production growth from aquaculture is still strong, State One has derived a potential scenario showing when aquaculture production will first overtake capture production. For our aquaculture growth projections we have used a growth rate of 7.1% per annum over the next 6 years compared with 8.7% over the previous 55 years and we have assumed that capture production remains static at its current level. Based on this scenario, the chart below shows that aquaculture could overtake capture production by as early as 2011.

Open Net Pens/Cages Open Net Pen or Cage fish production involves growing fish in enclosed nets or cages in offshore coastal areas or freshwater lakes. This method is relatively cheap and does not require much capital expenditure. The major drawbacks of this type of production are that fish waste passes freely into the surrounding environment, farmed fish can escape, and diseases and parasites can be easily spread. World-class marine farming operations have shown that this can be done responsibly and cost effectively around the world.
Man-made (enclosed) ponds Man made ponds or dams are used to hold fish in a coastal or inland body of fresh or salt water. This method reduces potential environmental risks, such as fish escaping, as the ponds are not always connected to natural bodies of water. There is however a danger of untreated waste from ponds polluting the surrounding environment and contaminating groundwater. Another drawback is that pond production is often associated with the destruction of wetlands a result already estimated at more than one million hectares worldwide. This destroys the habitat of juvenile wild fish, compounding the fish stocks problem.

Forecasts of the expected growth in fish demand in the US suggest that the next thirteen years will see an increase of 6.0 million tonnes in the US demand for aquacultured fish. This chart is supplied by Australis Aquaculture Ltd, whose current expansion plans would secure not even 1% of this increased market.

Despite the attractiveness of barramundi as a species for aquaculture (see 2.8 below), world barramundi production is currently only about 30,000 tpa. Thats about 1.5% of the amount of farmed salmon produced (2.2 million tpa), and 2.5% of tilapia (1.2 million tpa). Most barramundi is consumed locally and is not available for export. Current export offerings are reckoned to be 5,000 tpa at most.

The table below shows how the Seafood Watch Program criteria have been applied to rate various species of farmed fish into Best Choices, Good Alternatives or Avoid.
2.11 CONCLUSION
Steadily increasing demand for fish and the inevitable decline in wild caught seafood is rapidly increasing demand for aquaculture products. As fish prices move higher, and the technical and managerial experience needed to operate large scale aquaculture operations increases, the economics of aquaculture are becoming increasingly attractive. This transition is expected to be most marked in the developed world, where aquaculture has struggled for viability due principally to competition with wild caught seafood. Increased consumer acceptance, as well as more stable price and supply will drive the growth of the aquaculture sectors on a world wide basis. Consolidation and growth of the supermarket, club store and food service industries is an additional factor which favours the product uniformity, scale and price stability which is available from aquaculture. Given the grave state of most wild fish stocks, coupled with the economic and regulatory realities resulting from increased fishing effort and the higher cost of fuels, the accelerated growth of aquaculture is inevitable. The growth of the aquaculture industry will put increasing pressure on certain marine resources for the production of feeds. While the aquaculture industry as a whole will benefit from the inherent efficiencies of raising cold-blooded animals, greater advantage will be conferred to the most efficient producers who select species and employ practices which maximize the use of grain-based inputs, and achieve food conversation ratios at or below 1:1. The aquaculture industry will need to increasingly make use of grain-based protein and oil sources, and manage the risk of fish escape, pollution and habitat effects. Western aquaculture companies that can implement emerging technologies and responsible practices will be well positioned to realize rapid and sustained growth. In sum, we see huge opportunities for responsible and cost efficient aquaculture production over the coming decade. ---------------------------------------This Report has been Prepared and Researched by: Alan Hill B.ENG M.B.A MSDIA FAICD & Cronje Wolvaardt B.COMPT (Accounting)
