Proper management of broodstock nutrition encompasses providing the right amounts of the proper specialized nutrients during the right developmental stages.

Nutrition research run in conjunction with the breeding program ensures that cost-effective feeds are optimized for shrimp performance for a five-year project undertaken in Brunei Darussalam to develop advanced technology for production of large black tiger shrimp.
Responsibility
Biofloc technology offers advantages for the sustainable culture of shrimp and some species of fish.
Health & Welfare
Shrimp farm performance can often be below realistic production standards. Use proven nutrition, feeds and feeding techniques to improve profitability.
Intelligence
Although lobster farming is already established in Indonesia, improvements in feed and nutrition, and seed collection would help the industry expand. The diet of trash fish fed to developing lobsters generates waste and is not conducive to good hygiene or growth.
Health & Welfare
Spiny lobsters have a long, complex life cycle. Growing them through larval stages is a particular challenge. Spiny lobster culture is currently centered in Vietnam, where the industry depends on wild-caught animals for stocking and trash fish for feeding.

The authors performed nutrition studies to determine a maximized efficiency of yield in spotted sea trout. Fry were “forced” to swim against a steady current to gauge the effectiveness of increased exercise.
Health & Welfare
A significant part of any hematological evaluation of fish is the preparation, microscopic examination and interpretation of stained blood smears.

Studies at UNC-Wilmington found that growth and survival of black sea bass larvae were improved through supplementation of DHA and ARA in live feed.

Transcriptomics studies highlight impacts of different treatments on specific genes that can be targeted via nutritional intervention to increase farmed animal performance or welfare.
