| Abstract |
Salmonid aquaculture is highly mechanised, thus depending on efficient feed utilisation, rapid growth, and short production cycles to maximise output of extensive facilities. This chapter addresses recent history, advances, practices, and future trends in feed ingredient choice, formulation, feed processing and manufacture, and feeding to obtain these goals. Chosen strategies and solutions are largely based on in-depth research on salmonid metabolism and nutritional physiology, which is used to reassess nutritional requirements, evaluate feed ingredients, and elucidate how physical properties of feeds, dietary nutrients or natural bioactive components, feed additives or contaminants, and malnutrition affects fish performance, health, and nutrient composition. |
