Nutrient requirements of fish and shrimp
The National Research Council (NRC) has published several previous reports on the nutrition and feeding of fish, the most recent of which is the Nutrient Requirements of Fish (1993). Since 1993 a large amount of information on fish and shrimp nutrition has been published. Consequently, many of the requirements and recommendations set forth in the 1993 report are no longer relevant or appropriate. Since publication of the previous report, aquaculture production has expanded more than 10-fold and has become of much greater national and international significance, as a food supplier and source of income. In fact, aquaculture now supplies half of the seafood and fisheries products consumed worldwide. Given the state of the world’s fisheries, future demand for seafood and fisheries products can only be met by expanded aquacultural production. Such production will likely become more intensive and increasingly depend on nutritious and efficient aquaculture feeds containing ingredients from sustainable sources. This challenge can only be met by applying the latest nutritional and feed production information
