Aquafeeds

Ecofeeds and the coming ecotechnology in aquaculture

Clearly, there will be no single solution to our needs, but rather a combination of biotechnological and ecotechnological solutions.

Health & Welfare

Most shrimp cultured today are fed diets with greater than 30 percent protein, with much of this protein obtained from fishmeal.

Aquafeeds

Maintaining the stability of shrimp feeds until consumption is a challenge as pellets lose dry matter due to leaching of soluble compounds.

Aquafeeds

Dietary nutritional disorders in farmed aquatic animals can be broadly defined as diet-related imbalances due to “under-” or “over-” nutrition.

Aquafeeds

There is limited information available concerning the optimal requirements for broodstock nutrition for most of global aquaculture production.

Aquafeeds

Of all the sources of animal protein and energy available for aquafeeds, the largest is rendered animal byproducts.

Aquafeeds

From a nutritional standpoint feed development guidelines should be followed when establishing feeding regimes for farming systems.

Aquafeeds

Feeding trials with a new shrimp feed were conducted at the Oceanic Institute with three different feeding regimes and two tank covers.

Aquafeeds

During the first year of AQUAFAN, a committee helped identify and prioritize needs of the shrimp farming and feeds industries.

Aquafeeds

OI's Aquatic Feeds and Nutrition (AQUAFAN) program aims to technically support and assist the aquaculture and aquafeed manufacturing sector.

Aquafeeds

The hope is to help to dispel some of the myths and untruths surrounding the critical field of shrimp feeds and feeding practices.
