Artificial sea salt mixtures are required for shrimp inland production, which can be a substantial portion of the production costs. This article presents results that indicate that using the low-cost artificial sea salt (LCS) formulation reduces artificial sea salt cost significantly, up to 15%, while having no significant impacts on shrimp production and water quality compared to a commercial marine...
In terms of dietary composition, protein is the single largest and most expensive component in fish feed. A feeding trial was conducted to determine the maximum substitution limits of poultry by-product meal protein for fish meal protein in the diet of juvenile Black Sea Bass Centropristis striata. Results showed poultry by-product meal as a promising alternative protein source for sustainable...
As a global leader in aquaculture feed and animal nutrition, Cargill supports the production of seafood the world needs while minimizing its impact on the planet. And now is looking to do even more for sustainable aquaculture by focusing on farmers and working across the value chain to help the seafood industry reduce its global carbon footprint through the implementation...
In shrimp feeds, a protein source with an adequate balance of amino acids is required to provide good growth performance. Recent results showed that up to 25% of dietary protein replacement with protein hydrolysates from poultry by-product and swine liver, as an alternative dietary protein source for the Pacific white shrimp can improve its growth. In 2017, the world’s production...
Based on the question of how much food we can sustainably obtain from the sea by 2050, an analysis of the main food-producing sectors in the sea is presented: wild fisheries, finfish mariculture and bivalve mariculture. From this, encouraging curves emerge for sustainable supply, taking into account ecological, economic, regulatory, and technological limits. Human population growth, rising incomes and preference...
The selected aerator for aquaculture operations must be economically efficient and should be able to fulfil the requirement of oxygen supply in the pond water. Here we present a study of economic feasibility of nine different types of aerators using life cycle costing (LCC) approach. The recommended option can be implemented for any types of cultured species at any prevailing...
