Una clave para expandir la acuacultura es encontrar fuentes alternativas de proteínas y aceites. La suplementación o sustitución de aceite de pescado en los alimentos acuícolas con fuentes alternativas de lípidos – semillas oleaginosas, microalgas, insectos y otros - parece posible si se pueden satisfacer los requisitos de ácidos grasos esenciales.

A key to expanding aquaculture is finding alternative sources of proteins and oils. Supplementing or replacing fish oil in aquaculture feeds with alternative lipid sources – oils seeds, microalgae, insects and others – appears possible as long as essential fatty acid (EFA) requirements are satisfied.

Un estudio evaluó el valor nutricional de los peces de carne blanca cultivados vs. silvestres usando lobina rayada hibrida, lobina de boca grande y peces agallas-azules. Los resultados mostraron que los peces de carne blanca cultivados son tan valiosos desde el punto de vista nutricional – y en algunos casos, más – como los peces silvestres.

Reformulating aquaculture feeds, an industrywide initiative to reduce dependence on wild fish, has changed farmed salmon’s nutritional profile, as BBC News reported recently. The researchers on whose work the report was based say of course it has, yet it remains one of the best sources for these crucial fatty acids.
