https://www.slu.se/en/about-slu/organisation/collaborative-centres/slu-aquaculture/news/ Professor Anders Kiessling and the project “Västerviksräkan” have received this year’s Innovation Award from SLU and the Sparbanksstiftelsen Upland for a circular technology that can contribute to the future of sustainable aquaculture. https://www.slu.se/en/news/2026/05/sustainable-fish-and-shrimp-farming-wins-this-years-innovation-award/ https://www.slu.se/en/news/2026/05/sustainable-fish-and-shrimp-farming-wins-this-years-innovation-award/ Wed, 13 May 2026 10:30:16 +0200 Today’s food waste and by-products should be regarded as valuable resources. When used in new food products and fish feed, their climate impact can be reduced by up to 90 per cent – while significantly easing pressure on land, water and biodiversity. This is shown in a new doctoral thesis from SLU. https://www.slu.se/en/news/2026/01/major-environmental-gains-when-food-waste-and-by-products-are-utilised/ https://www.slu.se/en/news/2026/01/major-environmental-gains-when-food-waste-and-by-products-are-utilised/ Wed, 14 Jan 2026 10:15:02 +0200 Shuowen Cao has studied how biological, environmental, and, above all, dietary factors affect the gut microbiota of salmonids, with a particular focus on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). https://www.slu.se/en/news/2025/12/new-doctoral-thesis-on-microbiota-in-salmonids/ https://www.slu.se/en/news/2025/12/new-doctoral-thesis-on-microbiota-in-salmonids/ Tue, 16 Dec 2025 10:00:10 +0200 The major research grant offers a unique opportunity to accelerate efforts for better fish welfare, both in Sweden and globally. https://www.slu.se/en/news/2025/12/record-investment-at-slu-to-improve-fish-welfare-worldwide/ https://www.slu.se/en/news/2025/12/record-investment-at-slu-to-improve-fish-welfare-worldwide/ Fri, 05 Dec 2025 09:52:09 +0200 How are Swedish freshwater crayfish affected by their local habitats – and what could this mean for the future of fisheries and conservation? These are the questions that master’s student Nick Paulus is seeking to answer. https://www.slu.se/en/news/2025/09/vaxer-vara-svenska-sotvattenskraftor-olika-masterstudenten-nick-paulus-soker-svaren/ https://www.slu.se/en/news/2025/09/vaxer-vara-svenska-sotvattenskraftor-olika-masterstudenten-nick-paulus-soker-svaren/ Thu, 11 Sep 2025 11:13:36 +0200 Farmed rainbow trout of the future is now available on the market. The fish has been fed a new feed where traditional ingredients like soy and fishmeal have been replaced by mussels, insects and fungal protein. The initiative is led by SLU, Axfoundation and 25 other partners. https://www.slu.se/en/news/2025/09/slu-leads-the-way-in-future-fish-feed/ https://www.slu.se/en/news/2025/09/slu-leads-the-way-in-future-fish-feed/ Wed, 10 Sep 2025 08:28:20 +0200 Insects are being highlighted as part of the solution for a more circular food production system. But what needs to happen for them to become a natural part of the feed chain? SLU researcher Cecilia Lalander answers questions about the potential of insects in a sustainable and circular food system. https://www.slu.se/en/news/2025/09/insects-could-be-key-to-more-sustainable-animal-feed/ https://www.slu.se/en/news/2025/09/insects-could-be-key-to-more-sustainable-animal-feed/ Tue, 02 Sep 2025 15:41:42 +0200 Seven individuals have been named honorary doctors at SLU this year. Their expertise spans agriculture, aquaculture, animal oral health, tree pests, landscapes, and animal reproduction. Four are based in Sweden, and one each in Finland, South Africa, and the UK. https://www.slu.se/en/news/2025/06/seven-new-honorary-doctors-appointed-by-slu-in-2025/ https://www.slu.se/en/news/2025/06/seven-new-honorary-doctors-appointed-by-slu-in-2025/ Thu, 12 Jun 2025 11:15:02 +0200 Researchers at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) are investigatin whether algae colours can signal toxic substance production and how underwater robots and AI can detect it early. https://www.slu.se/en/news/2025/05/algernas-farger-visar-vagen-till-smartare-vattenbruk/ https://www.slu.se/en/news/2025/05/algernas-farger-visar-vagen-till-smartare-vattenbruk/ Mon, 05 May 2025 10:59:00 +0200
