  • This is what we’ve been looking for!

    Thank you for doing this show, Tony and team! We can never have enough podcasts in this industry. One of the challenges we face is the lack of data and/or metrics so these episodes are like weekly golden nuggets that help our fragmented space and solves that. Very well done! More! More! More! Highly recommended!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Deep Dive: The SeafoodSource Podcast — Practical Applications of AI in Seafood with Manolin CEO Tony Chen
Q: So, to start, can you just tell me a bit about your background and how Manolin came to be?
Tony describes his computer science background at MIT, his work on big data for government agencies, and how a chance encounter with oyster farmers in Chesapeake Bay led him and his co-founder to build data-driven solutions for aquaculture, eventually founding Manolin.
Scaling African Aquaculture: Kamran Ahmad (Kivu Choice)
Q: Could you time-point some of the key milestones from MBA to starting with Victory Farms to launching Kivu Choice?
Kamran explains that after MBA studies, a summer in Rwanda sparked the path to aquaculture; joining Victory Farms to build the Rwanda operation provided the foundation, and eventual framing of Kivu Choice as a focused, scalable venture in Rwanda within five years.
Quarterly Public Farm Review: Q4 2025 + Special Interview
Q: What were the main challenges in correlating biology to EBIT per kilogram?
Data availability and data quality were the main challenges. We used EBIT per kilogram since it captures multiple financial dimensions, and we paired it with harvest volumes from the directorate of fisheries to improve accuracy.
Quarterly Public Farm Review: Q4 2025 + Special Interview
Q: How did you decide which data to include in the SPI?
We started with a wide set of candidate factors, then narrowed to seven influential, publicly available variables that balanced biological relevance with data availability and site coverage, aiming for a scalable, future-updateable model.
Vitamin D and Salmon Health: Updated Evidence, Updated Strategy
Q: What are some of the benefits of using 25-OH-D3 instead of D3 in fish feed?
25-OH-D3 is better absorbed and bypasses a slow conversion process, providing fish with immediate availability to the active hormone, ensuring they meet their biological needs effectively.
