Abstract

Fish feed accounts for more than 50% of the total cost of production in intensive aquaculture. Feeding fish with poor quality feed or adopting inappropriate feeding strategies not only causes food wastage and subsequent loss of income, but also leads to water pollution. Feed additives are considered an essential component in fish diets. Additives are substances that are added in small amounts to improve the nutrient content and extend the shelf life of the forage administered in the feed. The addition of additives to fish feed is essential in stimulating growth and supporting fish immunity. Among the additives frequently used in aquaculture are: preservatives, binders, feeding stimulants and food colorings. Optimizing the feeding strategy of fish reared in different types of production systems can be achieved by finding alternative feed sources and/or by adding additives to feed recipes. Ingredients already used as alternatives include soybean, barley, rice, peas, lupine, canola, wheat gluten, corn gluten, various other plant proteins, yeast, insects and algae.
