Journal ArticleDOI
Global overview on the use of fish meal and fish oil in industrially compounded aquafeeds: Trends and future prospects
Albert G. J. Tacon,Marc Metian +1 more
TL;DR: The finfish and crustacean aquaculture sector is still highly dependent upon marine capture fisheries for sourcing key dietary nutrient inputs, including fish meal and fish oil, which is particularly strong within compound aquafeeds for farmed carnivorous finfish species and marine shrimp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of broodstock nutrition on reproductive performance of fish
TL;DR: An improvement in broodstock nutrition and feeding has been shown to greatly improve not only egg and sperm quality but also seed production, and protein component of cuttlefish and squid together with their optimal concentration of HUFA appear to be responsible for their positive effect on reproductive performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feed Matters: Satisfying the Feed Demand of Aquaculture
Albert G. J. Tacon,Marc Metian +1 more
TL;DR: This paper attempts to make a global analysis of aquaculture growth, its role in global food production, and to update the estimates of compound feed dependent fish and crustacean species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fish Matters: Importance of Aquatic Foods in Human Nutrition and Global Food Supply
Albert G. J. Tacon,Marc Metian +1 more
TL;DR: The nutritional composition of different farmed and captured aquatic food products is reviewed and compares these with conventional terrestrial meat products and small-sized marine pelagic fish are compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of culture system on the nutrition and growth performance of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone) fed different diets
TL;DR: The most promising features of zero-water-exchange culture systems are that they offer increased biosecurity, reduced feed costs and water use for the farmer, and by doing so provide a potential avenue of moving the shrimp culture industry along a path of greater sustainability and environmental compatibility.
