Use algorithms to calculate feed for Pacific white shrimp
Existing dynamic models applied to the growth of Pacific white shrimp can describe and predict feeding behavior to help farmers achieve maximum benefits.
Libby Woodhatch says responsible sourcing and safe raw material production is “vital” if fishmeal and fish oil are to remain credible aquafeed ingredients.

The use of properly and efficiently formulated feeds using least-cost formulation software is an important determinant of a successful crop.
Arbiom hopes to ride the wave of interest in novel feed ingredients and expand production of a nutrient-rich protein meal made from wood residues.
ProTyton is an anaerobically produced single cell protein (SCP) feed ingredient for farmed shrimp. Its maker says it boosts immunity, survival and growth.
Authors present a practical review of modern formulation options including crystalline amino acids in fulfilling nutritional requirements in aquafeeds.
Norwegian startup Planktonic AS believes that it has hit upon a viable alternative to traditional live diets in the form of nauplii from barnacles.
Field trials evaluated inclusion levels of grain distillers dried yeast of 0 to 150 grams per kilo with excellent performance of shrimp during grow-out.
The increasing use of automatic feeding systems in shrimp ponds has brought attention to the need to improve the physical quality of aquafeeds, because their properties largely affect the performance of these feeders.
At the Barcelona Seafood Summit, an expert panel discussed a sustainable future for aquafeeds. What stands between us and that future?
A significant reduction is possible in the digestible protein level in commercial diets for hybrid striped bass using ideal protein diet formulation, a robust set of ingredient nutrient availabilities, and a higher level (45 percent) of muscle profile as the formulation target.
This study evaluated a commercially available prebiotics and probiotics under conditions simulating commercial production in hybrid catfish. Results showed that the various dietary treatments did not have any significant effects on processing characteristics or composition.
A two-year grant of $276,000 seeks to improve the nutrition of live feed for, and therefore the production of, larval California yellowtail and halibut, with the hopes that the technology will be applicable to other species.
The Future of Fish Feed (F3) initiative aims to jumpstart innovation in terms of viable fish-free substitutes to fish oil through the global F3 Fish Oil Challenge.
The benefits of omega-3 fatty acids to human health are well known. Fish need them too. To supplement current supplies from wild-caught fish, one innovative venture is turning to the corn fields of Nebraska – yes, Nebraska – for answers.
