Raw Material Bottlenecks in Aqua Feed Formulation: Fish Meal and Cholesterol as Test Cases
In accordance with the expected growth of the aquaculture industry, global aqua feedrequirements are projected to grow from 15 MMT in 2000 to 27 MMT by 2010.

| Sumario: | In accordance with the expected growth of the aquaculture industry, global aqua feedrequirements are projected to grow from 15 MMT in 2000 to 27 MMT by 2010. Thiswill result in an increased demand for - and possibly shortage of – a number of rawmaterials which are derived from finite natural resources. Severe increases offormulation cost of aqua feeds can only be avoided by increasing the power of least costformulation, i.e. by offering a wider range of ingredients for which the selection is basedon a comprehensive knowledge of nutritional requirements, raw material characteristicsand cost. This bottleneck situation in aqua feed formulation is illustrated in this paperwith two examples: fish meal/fish oil in feeds for marine fish and cholesterol in feeds forpenaeid shrimp. |
