The aqua feed industry is ever changing and as koi hobbyists we are affected, mostly by the changes in the ingredients in koi feed, we often try to follow the trends. Here is a voice in the aquaculture industry speaking out for transparency in the feed manufacturing sector for those who raise fish for a living. Koi Organization International does not take a position on this or other policies of the aquaculture industry, but it is fair to say, that we like other consumers would benefit from clearly understanding the ingredients in our feed that we give our koi.
 
"Approximately 70 percent of all aquaculture is reliant on supplementary feeds, which can provide an effective means of nutrient delivery for aquatic organisms. The continued intensification of the aquaculture sector, coupled with an increase in new culture species, provides growing opportunities for aquafeed producers....The aquafeed sector utilises almost 20 percent of all ocean catch and, while the sector has become more efficient in its use of marine ingredients, the fishing industry continues to struggle with accountability and controls."
