Information is provided concerning the proximate and essential amino acid composition of common feed ingredient sources, as well as recommended quality criteria and relative nutritional merits and limitations, together with a bibliography of published feeding studies for major feed ingredient sources by cultured species. Major feed ingredient and fertilizer groupings discussed include: animal protein sources, plant protein sources, single cell protein sources, lipid sources, other plant ingredients, feed additives, and fertilizers and manures.--Publisher's description. "The present technical paper presents an up-to-date overview of the major feed ingredient sources and feed additives commonly used within industrially compounded aquafeeds, including feed ingredient sources commonly used within farm-made aquafeeds, and major fertilizers and manures used in aquaculture for live food production. Information is provided concerning the proximate and essential amino acid composition of common feed ingredient sources, as well as recommended quality criteria (when available) and relative nutritional merits and limitations (if any), together with a bibliography of published feeding studies for major feed ingredient sources by cultured species."--Publisher Farmed fish and crustaceans are no different from terrestrial livestock in that their nutritional well-being and health is based on the ingestion and digestion of food containing 40 or so essential dietary nutrients, including specific proteins and amino acids, lipids and fatty acids, carbohydrates and sugars, minerals, vitamins, energy, and water.
