When water temperature drops: how to adapt feeding without losing efficiency
Water temperature is one of the main environmental factors conditioning fish feeding, metabolism, and growth. As ectothermic animals, their body temperature depends on the environment, but their response to a thermal change is not the same for all species or at all times of the year. When the temperature drops, the first reaction should not […]
Zero-Waste Factories: How Dibaq’s Sustainability Boosts Your Farm’s Reputation
In today’s market, sustainability is no longer a cosmetic option, but a non-negotiable business requirement. End consumers, major retail chains, and prestigious restaurants are increasingly demanding food that demonstrates genuine respect for the environment at every link of its production chain. For an aquaculture farm, sustainability is not measured solely by what happens inside its […]
Feed Efficiency in Aquaculture: Why Does Farmed Fish Lead the Way in Sustainable Production?
You’ve probably heard the phrase “we are what we eat” more than once. In the aquaculture sector, this statement takes on a technical and vital meaning through feed efficiency. Making the most of every single gram of feed not only determines the profitability of an aquaculture farm, but is also the true key to environmentally […]
Author Nutrition: Why standard diets are limiting your species’ potential?
In the competitive aquaculture of 2026, the “one-size-fits-all” concept is the biggest enemy of profitability. Producers often use standard diets that cover biological minimums but fail to unlock the maximum genetic potential of the biomass. The difference between an acceptable production and an exceptional one lies in precision nutrition. Physiology is not standard: Requirements by […]
How does climate change affect aquaculture and what is being done to adapt?
El cambio climático es una de las mayores amenazas ambientales del siglo XXI y su impacto se extiende a múltiples sectores, incluida la acuicultura. Esta actividad, que consiste en la cría controlada de organismos acuáticos como peces, moluscos y algas, es vital para la seguridad alimentaria global. Sin embargo, los efectos del calentamiento global están […]
Why is aquaculture fish a key source of omega-3?
Omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), are essential for various functions of the human body. Our body does not produce them on its own, so we must obtain them through our diet. Fish is one of the richest sources of these nutrients, and sustainable aquaculture allows for a constant and […]
Alternative proteins in aquaculture: how are we reducing dependence on fishmeal?
Aquaculture has historically relied on fishmeal as the main protein source in fish feed. However, the sustainability of this practice has been questioned due to overexploitation of marine resources and fluctuating availability and cost of fishmeal. In response, companies such as Dibaq Aquaculture have intensified research and adoption of alternative proteins to reduce this dependence […]
Evolution and perception of aquaculture in Spain
Aquaculture in Spain has undergone significant evolution in recent years, not only in terms of production and technology but also in consumer perception. Traditionally, wild-caught fishing has dominated market trust in key aspects such as quality, taste, and texture of seafood products. However, recent data reflects a gradual shift in the appreciation of aquaculture in […]
Catfish in West Africa
Catfish production has emerged as one of the most important aquaculture activities in West Africa, not only for its contribution to food security, but also for its contribution to local economic development. However, fish farmers in the region face various challenges that make it difficult to obtain optimal yields. Among these, one of the most […]
The high value of fish by-products
Fish intended for direct human consumption is sometimes processed to make the eating experience easier and faster for consumers. This processing results in by-products such as heads, viscera, skeletons, and other materials like tails, fins, minced meat, blood, etc. All this raw material can represent between 30% and 70% of the weight of the fish, […]
