Feeding Strategy Supports Prawn Culture Without Fishmeal, Fish Oil
Low-input culture practices have been developed for freshwater prawns to effectively manage their growth and biological characteristics. With low nutritional requirements for long-chain fatty acids, the prawns can be grown on diets with no fishmeal...

Pesticides' Impact on Catfish Blood/Tissue Oxidative Stress Level
This study aims to investigate the impact of commonly used pesticides (deltamethrin) on the blood and tissue oxidative stress level in catfish; in addition to the protective effect of alpha-tocopherol on deltamethrin induced oxidative stress, write Kamal...

Polar and Atlantic Cod Share Habitat, not Diet
Despite Atlantic cod and haddock extending further into Arctic waters, a new study reveals there is little competition for food between the invaders and native polar cod. However, it is uncertain whether climate change will increase competition between...

Global Fishmeal Production Up - April 2012
Good fishing in South America and improved access to raw material has pushed fishmeal production higher over the last months with total production for 2011 about 40 per cent above 2010 levels in the major producing countries. The increased supply eliminated...

Feeds and Fertilisers for Aqua Development in Sub-Saharan Africa
Research by Thomas Hecht from Rhodes University, South Africa reviews feeds and fertilisers for sustainable aquaculture development in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The study highlights the lack of capacity and knowledge to do with feed technology, a need...

Research on Alternative Raw Feed Materials
This report explores some of the main approaches that will (partly) fulfil the conditions and challenges that must be overcome for valid and viable alternative feedstuffs to fishmeal.

Substitutes for Fishmeal: Soybean Meal
While fishmeal is favoured by farmers because of its protein content, other protein sources are challenging its place as an animal feed.

Investigation Into Senegalese Sole Microdiets
With high live feed costs for fish larvae in marine aquaculture, much effort has gone into replacing live feeds with inert microdiets. The ingestion and breakdown of carrageenan and alginate microdiets in Senegalese sole, post-larvae, were discussed at...

Trial Confirms Salmon Can Thrive On Low Fishmeal & Fish Oil Feed
A 22-month trial with Atlantic salmon in a commercial scale farm in Norway demonstrated the practicality of using feed with low levels of marine protein. The trial followed a complete generation of salmon from smolt to harvest.
