Fishmeal replacement in diets effective at shrimp farm trials
Shrimp farm trials demonstrated the feasibility of fishmeal replacement with soybean and corn gluten meal with little adverse effect on production performance.
Aquafeeds
In a white shrimp farm trial in a low-salinity environment, alternatives to fishmeal did not negatively impact the growth, survival or FCR of the shrimp.

Aquafeeds
A laboratory study indicated gilthead sea bream can be grown on feeds in which fishmeal and fish oil levels are reduced from traditional values using soy products.
Health & Welfare
Research indicates that rendered protein meals could replace significant amounts of fishmeal in diets for shrimp and several cultured fish species without reducing weight gain.

In a meta-analysis of 28 nutrition studies, the authors found limited possibilities for ingredient substitution for fishmeal in diets for salmon and trout.
Responsibility
India farmers are considering ways to boost production. If approved on a wider basis, production of Pacific white shrimp could boost overall yields.
Aquafeeds
Fishmeal and fish oil replacements present a challenge for the aquafeed industry. The range of alternative protein and fat sources is limited, given multiple considerations.
