Evaluation of a commercial microbial enhanced protein in European sea bass diets
As a protein source and fishmeal replacement in European sea bass diets, a microbial enhanced protein demonstrates cost effectiveness and other benefits.

Testing alternative diet compositions to offer more sustainable feed formulations for European sea bass
Alternative diets using novel plant and animal-derived protein sources have comparable performance to current commercial sea bass feeds.

Sea bass hatchery feeds artemia substitute to increase production, stability
After experiencing disappointing survival rates following traditional artemia-based rearing protocols, the French hatchery Aquastream turned to a micropellet alternative to artemia.

Integrated marine aquaculture-agriculture: Sea farming out of the sea
Aquaponic systems are robust, management is not difficult, and the synergies between fish and plants make vegetable production more profitable than aquaculture alone. The lion’s share of marine agriculture involves salt-tolerant halophytic plants used as food or feed, or in energy production.
