The blue revolution- feed alternatives for aquaculture
Rapid growth in aquaculture has led to a drastic rise in demand for feed. It is becoming increasingly apparent that because the traditional raw materials for feed production (fishmeal and fish oil) are limited, this is going to curb growth and slow down further developments. How can the aquaculture industry get around the fishmeal trap? The search for alternative feed resources is showing the first signs of success. A number of agricultural products, in particular, seem well suited to at least partially replacing fishmeal and fish oil. There has been remarkable progress in the development of weaning feed that could replace complicated live feed regimes for young fish and shrimp larvae. It is still not possible to do fully without rotifers and Arternia nauplii, but the day is drawing nearer when a starter feed will be available that can be given from the first day. This would make the farming of a lot of marine fish species, in particular, easier and give mariculture animportant growth impulse.
