A unique resource, this book describes the ingredients included in an aquaculture diet, species profiles, processing methods, impacts to environment and 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. It provides detailed knowledge on the use of alternative plant and animal protein sources, offering opportunities to either partially or completely replace fish meal. The book discusses the most widely used ingredients and highlights under-used ingredients which could be of significant potential in the future.
