Phospholipids in shrimp feeds
Phospholipids are compounds that combine a water-soluble phosphate group at one end with fat soluble fatty acids at the other.
Broodstock nutrition: Effects of nutrient levels
There is limited information available concerning the optimal requirements for broodstock nutrition for most of global aquaculture production.
Shrimp feed management in Australia
A shrimp feed management survey indicated that Australian farmers placed a high importance on better estimations of feed demand in improving FCR.
Rendered animal byproducts: A necessity in aquafeeds for the new millennium
Of all the sources of animal protein and energy available for aquafeeds, the largest is rendered animal byproducts.
Worms: A potential feed source for cultured aquatic animals
The use of worms – insect larvae, terrestrial earthworms and aquatic oligochaetes – in fish and shrimp culture is generating interest.
Feed development guidelines for closed indoor farming systems
From a nutritional standpoint feed development guidelines should be followed when establishing feeding regimes for farming systems.
Producing ragworms for shrimp broodstock maturation
Two companies, INVE and Seabait, have recently joined forces to make the ragworm available to the aquaculture industry worldwide.
Advances in the development of low-pollution feeds for salmonids
Feed is the source of enriching nutrients in rainbow trout farming, and most efforts to lower pollution from trout farms involve modifications of feeds.
Artificial diets for penaeid shrimp broodstock
Dry artificial diets for shrimp offer reliable supply, reproducible and controlled quality, ease of use and improved stability under storage.
The Brazilian aquaculture feed market: A growing giant
The culture of tropical freshwater fishes has led aquaculture development in Brazil, where many areas have the required characteristics to grow the industry.
Catfish nutrition: A look at feeds and feeding practices
Information on catfish nutrition was practically nonexistent in the late 1950s and early 1960s when catfish farming first started.
Shrimp feeds and feeding regimes in zero-exchange outdoor tanks
Feeding trials with a new shrimp feed were conducted at the Oceanic Institute with three different feeding regimes and two tank covers.
Use of spirulina in larviculture
Spirulina platensis is an edible planktonic filamentous bluegreen algae that can be used in fish feeds and as a supplement when feeding prawn larvae.
Microalgae paste: A new paradigm in larval feeds
An alternative to growing microalgae on-site is concentrated microalgae paste from marine microalgae mixed with a food grade preservative.
Larval shrimp nutrition: Getting the most out of your formulated diets
Like most questions concerning larval shrimp nutrition, there are no simple answers that can be applied to all hatcheries universally.
Larval feeds: Two methods for production of on-size, microbound particles
No single manufacturing method for larval feeds is optimal for all feeding situations. Several criteria apply, such as palatability and nutrient stability.
