Amendment 124 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 30
30. Calls on the Commission to propose specific criteria in relation to the well- being of farmed fish, such as maximum levels of farming density, the quantity of vegetable and animal proteins that can be used in feedstuffs on fish farms, and which take into account the nutritional requirements of the fish species farmed, the phases in their life cycle and the environmental conditions, and to promote transportation and slaughter practices which limit sources of stress, and the changing of water in fish ponds in such a way as to guarantee the well-being of the fish being farmed there; however, strategic research into replacements for the essential ingredients should be of highest priority; fishmeal and fish oil contain specific nutrients that make them essential for fish even at low levels; research into the essential nutrients and how to produce them from alternative sources such as microalgae and yeast would reduce the need for fish meal in the longer term; although we do not wish to see fishmeal and oil completely eliminated from diets, research on alternative sources of the essential nutrients found in fish meal can be a long-term solution to sustainable expansion of the industry;
