The U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) Turkey team participated in Aquaculture Europe 2025, Europe’s leading aquaculture congress. The team, along with guests from Turkey, held discussions with industry representatives on soy-based feeds and sustainable production.
The team also held a stand at the event, where they exchanged information with industry representatives on feeds based on American soybeans and soy products (soy protein concentrate, fermented soybean meal, and soybean meal), fishmeal substitution, and sustainable production.
Aquaculture Europe 2025 is organized annually by the European Aquaculture Association (EAS) and will be held in Valencia from September 22-25 this year. The congress brings together academia and industry with hundreds of presentations, posters, and exhibition spaces focusing on the latest developments in fish farming and feed technologies. The event covers a wide range of content, from sustainability and innovation to feed additives and environmental impacts, and offers new opportunities for industry professionals.
As part of the event, USSEC Turkey also sponsored a trial titled “Evaluation of Increasing Levels of Fermented Soybean Meal as a Substitute for Fishmeal in the Diets of Juvenile European Seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) Reared Under Field Conditions.” The study aims to examine the effects of using fermented soybean meal (FSBM) instead of fishmeal in the diets of juvenile sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) under field conditions. In the prepared presentation, the USSEC team shared with the industry the growth performance, digestive health and sustainability advantages of fermented soybean meal in fish feed formulation.
USSEC Turkey’s presence at Aquaculture Europe 2025 demonstrated Turkey’s scientific and practical evaluation of soy-based alternatives to fish feed, marking a significant step forward in sustainable aquaculture production. The presentation and sponsorship at the event created a platform that will contribute to the future transformation of the sector.
