F3 Challenge Surpasses 100,000 Metric Tons of Combined F3 Feed Sold, China-Based Company Maintains Lead
　　
　　F3無魚飼料挑戰賽進入白熱化階段，總銷售量達10萬余噸，中國參賽隊依舊遙遙領先.
　　
　　Over 100,000 metric tons of fish-free feed have been sold by contestants of the F3 (Fish-Free Feed) Challenge since the sales contest to encourage innovation of alternative ingredients for aquafeeds began in May 2016. The amount of fish-free aquafeed sold during the contest thus far is estimated to be equivalent to nearly 100 million forage fish from the ocean.
　　
　　始于2016年5月，國際F3無魚飼料挑戰賽旨在推動水產飼料創新和魚粉替代。迄今為止，參賽隊伍已累計銷售超過10萬噸無魚配方飼料，相當于拯救了一億尾海洋餌料魚類。
　　
　　Guangdong Evergreen Feed Industry Co., Ltd maintains its first-place lead with 66,515 metric tons of feed sold. In second place with 31,600 metric tons is the team comprised of Myanmar-based Htoo Thit Co. and global animal nutrition company Biomin.
　　
　　廣東恒興飼料公司以66515噸的成績遙遙領先。由國際動物營養公司Biomin和緬甸Htoo Thit公司組成的團隊以31600噸的成績位居第二。

　　

　　

      Five contestant teams from China, United States, Austria, Myanmar, South Africa, and Pakistan are advancing to the final sale reporting deadline on Sept. 15, 2017. Australia-based Ridley decided to become a participant rather than a contestant of the F3 Challenge, therefore no sales for the company were reported.
　　
　　首屆國際F3無魚飼料挑戰賽已經進入白熱化階段，來自中國、美國、澳大利亞、緬甸、南非和巴基斯坦的五支參賽隊伍將在2017年9月15日遞交最終的銷售報告。澳大利亞的Ridley公司選擇放棄，所以該公司沒有遞交銷售報告。
　　
　　A $200,100 grand prize will be awarded to the winner during a special event at the Global Aquaculture Alliance’s 2017 GOAL Conference in Dublin, Ireland.
　　
　　比賽結果將于2017年愛爾蘭都柏林舉行的GOAL會議上揭曉，最終獲勝隊會得到20萬美金獎勵。
　　
　　Contestants are using everything from insects to algae as a base to develop a fish-free aquaculture feed. The winning team must prove their recipe can scale up by targeting sales of 100,000 metric tons or be the furthest along by the challenge end date. F3 Challenge judges have tested and verified that all contestant feeds as fish free.
　　
　　參賽隊伍可以利用任何非魚成分，例如昆蟲或藻類蛋白等，替代水產飼料中的魚粉和魚油。為證明其無魚配方飼料是可以規模化的，F3組委會要求獲勝隊在比賽中能率先銷售10萬噸以上的無魚配方飼料，或是在比賽結束之前銷量位居第一。F3裁判們已對各參賽隊伍提交的飼料樣本進行檢測，證實它們均不含魚粉魚油成分。
　　
　　The F3 Challenge is intended to spark innovation in the aquafeed industry to find viable, cost-competitive aquafeeds free of fishmeal and fish oils. Sustainable alternative protein sources can reduce pressure on ocean ecosystems to supply aquaculture fishfeed components and help meet growing demand for fish in the future.
　　
　　國際F3無魚飼料挑戰賽旨在激勵水產飼料創新、探尋經濟可行且不含魚粉或魚油的配方飼料。采用可持續的蛋白替代源，可以減輕水產飼料對魚粉的依賴，降低對海洋生態系統的壓力，滿足世界持續增長的水產品需求。
