A unique resource that describes the ingredients included in an
aquaculture diet, species profiles, processing methods, impacts to
environment and industry, and more! Aquaculture is and will remain
a major food producing sector in the future. To become more
efficient and successful in the aquaculture industry, operations
need to provide good nutrition. Alternative Protein Sources in
Aquaculture Diets is a unique source describing the ingredients
included in fish and crustacean diets, their nutrient compositions,
species profiles, suitability for species, processing methods, and
impacts of alternative ingredients on the environment and to the
aquaculture industry. World-renowned nutritionists and feed
technologists explore practical ways for the aquaculture industry
to expand and remain competitive, and discuss ways to develop less
expensive alternative sources or protein. Diet costs take up a huge
chunk of operating expenditures, with fish meal being one of the
most expensive ingredients in the aquaculture diet. Alternative
Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets provides detailed knowledge on
the use of alternative plant and animal protein sources, offering
opportunities to either partially or completely replace fish meal.
This comprehensive, up-to-date text discusses the most widely used
ingredients as well as various previously under-utilized
ingredients which could be of significant potential in the future.
The book is extensively referenced and includes numerous helpful
tables to clearly present data. Topics discussed in Alternative
Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets (for finfish and crustacean
species) include: * farmed fish diet requirements * reduction of
waste through diet formulation * poultry by-product meal * meat
packing by-products * soybean protein foodstuffs * cottonseed meal
* lupins * unconventional plant protein supplements * and much,
much more! Alternative Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets is an
essential resource for aquaculturists, nutritionists, feed
formulators, feed mill operators, extension specialists, fish
farmers and producers, ingredient suppliers, and policymakers.

Fish Nutrition, Fourth Edition is an up-to-date, authoritative
presentation of all key elements of the nutrition of fish and
crustaceans. As aquaculture is rapidly expanding, more than 200
herbivorous and carnivorous species occupy a diverse range of
ecological niches, and have therefore evolved to utilize a wide
array of food sources. This new edition highlights these
differences and covers the complexity and challenges associated
with fish nutrition, addressing nutrient requirements to produce
high-quality, healthful and sustainable resources, the essential
nutrients for fish species, including proteins and amino acids,
vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, a feed quality
assessment, and fish pathology. Led by a team of international
experts, this edition provides readers with new information on the
use of high-throughput technologies in fish nutrition research, the
role of feeds on the community structure of the microbiome, and
advances in essential nutrient requirements.
