1D: Sustainability of Aquaculture

Need to reduce cost without lowering nutritional quality, Reducing dependence on finite marine ingredients, & Integration of feed development & management with environmental awareness

3 key issues relating to feed development & feeding.

Explicit nutrient, inclusion, & quality constraint

3 things that need to be explicitly regulated when using least-cost formulation.

Supply, safety, digestibility, & consistency

4 things that need to be acceptable before prioritizing locally available ingredients.

The cheapest formula on paper may not be the cheapest feed delivered or consumed

Why prices should be updated frequently.

Amino acid profile imbalance

The effect of eliminating fishmeal & fish oil from feed completely.

Formulation must be a combination of marine, plant, & other sources, pellet sizes should be appropriate, know fishes & their feeding behaviors, & utilize technology sensors to monitor water quality

4 ways to reduce overfeeding.
