Fish nutrition will fuel aquaculture’s future
Dr. Monica Betancor, a lecturer at the University of Stirling, talks about the “intrinsic link” between fish nutrition and, ultimately, human health.
Updating nutritional research strategies for the optimal evaluation of aquafeed ingredients, part 2
Standardizing the assessment process of aquaculture feed ingredients using a structured approach for assessing their quality.
Updating nutritional research strategies for the optimal evaluation of aquafeed ingredients, part 1
Many strategies can be used to assess the nutritional quality of ingredients. The choice, however, can impact the interpretation of that information.
Could microalgae culture on a conveyor belt catch on?
Alabama-based startup is developing a conveyor belt system to culture microalgae in less space than raceways and with a more efficient collection system.
Comparing microalgae-blend diets to reference diet for Nile tilapia
Nutritional study with Nile tilapia compared three microalgal diets to a reference diet containing fishmeal and fish oil levels found in commercial feed.
Is removing marine ingredients from largemouth bass diets possible?
Trials unambiguously demonstrate that marine ingredients can be removed from largemouth bass diets without hampering growth, health or flavor.
Evaluating seaweed, formulated diet on growth, gonad quality of sea urchins

Counterpoint: Marine ingredients are stable in volume, strategic in aquaculture nutrition
IFFO Director General Petter M. Johannessen says fishmeal and fish oil offer unmatched nutrition and benefits to fuel aquaculture’s growth trajectory.
Point: There are no essential ingredients in aquaculture feeds
Kevin Fitzsimmons, leader of the F3 (fish-free feed) Challenge, says aquaculture may currently depend on fishmeal and fish oil, but farmed fish do not.
Evaluating plant protein sources replacing fishmeal in juvenile white shrimp diets
In this study, plant proteins – soybean meal, fermented soybean meal and sesame meal – were evaluated as fishmeal replacements for Pacific white shrimp.
Testing diets without fishmeal and fish oil for kampachi
An evaluation of experimental juvenile kampachi (Seriola rivoliana) diets – with zero fishmeal or fish oil – finds significant potential.
