AQUAFEED
Introduction
13 jun 2008

Fish and shrimp diets used to contain a large proportion of fish meal, but due to costs, the fish meal is often replaced by vegetable proteins. More companies are getting involved in supplying ingredients for the aqua feed industry. In fish farming, nutrition is critical because feed represents 40-50% of the production costs.

Fish nutrition has advanced dramatically in recent years with the development of new, balanced commercial diets that promote optimal fish growth and health.

The development of new species-specific diet formulations supports the aquaculture (fish farming) industry as it expands to satisfy increasing demand for affordable, safe, and high-quality fish and seafood products.
