Abstract
The profitable use of formulated aquaculture feeds in intensive aquaculture is well established. Increased understanding of the nutritional requirements of certain fish and shrimp species, coupled with improvements in feed manufacturing technology and feeding techniques, have been central to the expansion of modern aquaculture. While our knowledge of the nutritional requirements for most farmed species remains far from complete, a global aquafeeds industry has developed and formulated feeds are commercially produced for a diverse range of species. In addition, many farmers prepare their own feeds from locally available ingredients, using formulations developed and circulated by development agencies (New, 1987; Tacon, 1987, 1988; New, Tacon, and Csavas, 1993).
