“…(i) Global trade impact refers to the common effects of global trade agreements under the World Trade Organization (WTO), and with the EU and US markets, tracking increasing levels of sustainable development. By these agreements, environmental protection, waste management, and food safety concepts have been adopted alongside renewed import regulations for food importers (Satumanatpan et al, ; Thailand Board of Investment, ; Ferreira et al , ). (ii) Currently, climate change and environmental impacts are a global issue of increasingly urgent importance and directly influence Thailand's food producers.…”

Recently, many firms have been focusing on sustainable manufacturing. The manager has to understand the social requirement of concern for environmental protection. This study develops a model to enhance the understanding of how market orientation, quality management, and innovativeness assist Thailand's food industry in attaining its optimal green performance, and to assess the mediating effect of quality management and innovativeness on market orientation and green performance. A questionnaire was developed and employed to gather data from 178 managers in the food industry. Data analysis is performed using the structural equation modelling approach. The results indicate that market orientation, quality management, and innovativeness positively and significantly affect green performance, both directly and indirectly. Moreover, quality management and innovativeness have a partial mediator effect on market orientation and green performance. This finding illustrates that Thailand's food industry could achieve green performance by developing market‐driven, quality management capacity and innovation development.

Modelling seasonal nutrient inputs from non-point sources across large catchments of importance to aquaculture

2018

Accumulation of nutrients in aquatic systems can have negative impacts on water quality, which can then affect the performance and impact of an aquaculture system. Non-point sources (NPS) and runoff from different land use practices are a major contributor of nutrients to the aquatic environment. However, NPS loading is difficult to identify, and monitoring schemes are often insufficient, particularly across large areas. Aquaculture production areas often extend across large catchments, basins and deltas and knowledge of where there could potentially be higher nutrient loads in the environment would be advantageous to inform strategic site selection and management decisions. This study developed seasonal models within a Geographic Information system (GIS) that can be applied to large catchments of importance to aquaculture to identify areas at risk of nutrient loading from NPS which should be prioritized by monitoring schemes. The models were applied to case study areas in Bangladesh, China, Thailand and Vietnam. The results of the individual models reveal changes in the spatial distribution of priority areas depending on the nutrient (nitrogen or phosphorus) and season. The modelling approach presented here has the advantage that it can be applied to large areas without the need for complex data sets. The model and outputs can also be used to assess impacts of land use and land use change on aquaculture, determine site suitability, establish zones, inform carrying capacity studies and identify potential production and disease risks.

“…Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the most cultivated fish species in Brazil, with an approximate production of 207,400 t in 2014 [1]. Fish diet can make up to 40-70% of production costs, representing the main cost in intensive tilapia farming [2]. In the current context, in which the demand for fish meat is increasing, the aquaculture industry is searching for alternative and sustainable materials to aggregate to fish diets, in order to lower cultivation costs and maintain nutritional profiles, improving animal growth performance and health [3].…”

Sustainable recovery of protein-rich liquor from shrimp farming waste by lactic acid fermentation for application in tilapia feed

et al. 2019

The biotransformation of shrimp head waste into ingredients for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) post-larvae (PLs) diet formulations was evaluated herein. A novel consortium of lactic acid bacteria, comprising the strains Lactobacillus futsaii LAB06 and L. plantarum LAB14, selected based on kinetic growth parameters, was applied in the fermentation of shrimp head waste. After 48 h, the highest lactic acid production was 100 g L −1 , allowing for maximum recovery of chitin and protein-rich liquor. The liquor was added to commercial powdered fish feed at 15, 30, and 45% (w/w) and offered to Nile tilapia PL during 28 days. The inclusion of 30% provided the best results for Nile tilapia PL survival, weight and length gains, specific growth rate, and biomass, proving that the fermented liquor can be incorporated, leading to economic benefits and contributing to the reduction of environmental pollution caused by the improper disposal of shrimp waste.
