From its nutritional profile to its traceable sourcing and regenerative potential, soy is redefining what it means to feed the future of aquaculture.
Corn gluten meals are packed with value in aquaculture nutrition. With 60–70% protein on a dry matter basis, plus functional compounds like carotenoids, CGM is doing a lot of hard work in modern fish and shrimp diets.
Fish meal is widely regarded as one of the most efficient and complete protein sources available for aquafeeds. It provides farmed fish with a rich supply of essential amino acids, high-quality proteins, vitamins and minerals, all of which are critical for rapid growth, metabolic health, and immune system function. For many species, particularly in early life stages, fish meal remains an irreplaceable component of nutritionally balanced feed due to its digestibility and nutrient density.
The oxygen content of the water is often the most prominent limiting factor in intensive fish farming. It is a well-known fact that poor oxygen content means that it is not possible to utilise the full potential of both the fish and the feed. A jet platform is an example of an efficient and yet simple mechanical method for oxygen enrichment of water.
By focusing on nitrogen-efficient feed formulations and exploring alternative protein sources, the project aims to reduce the environmental impact of fish farming while ensuring healthy, thriving fish. The results of this project have the potential to change the face of aquaculture for good, leading to a cleaner, greener future
In fish farming, large fluctuations in the oxygen content of water have a negative impact on the well-being of the fish and consequently on its growth. High water temperatures or rich vegetation in the water are important alarming factors to observe, especially in summer periods.
Every year, billions of chickens are processed for food - leaving behind mountains of feathers. While most see this as waste, aquaculture nutritionists see something else entirely: opportunity. These feathers, once destined for landfills, are now being transformed into a high-protein, sustainable ingredient known as feather meal.
In fish farming, being attentive to oxygen levels and implementing oxygenation are important prerequisites for maintaining economic growth rates.
Guar, or Cyamopsis tetragonoloba, might not sound glamorous, but it powers a surprising range of industries. From your pantry to petroleum, and even into fish feed, this underappreciated crop is quietly shaping the world around us.
Fish oil from trimmings is a success story in the world of sustainable resources — turning what was once discarded into something both practical and powerful. Derived from the parts of fish not used for human consumption such as heads, skin, bones, tails, and viscera — this by-product is now a valuable ingredient in everything from aquaculture to agriculture, pet food, and even renewable energy.
As the global demand for sustainable aquaculture practices continues to rise, so does the need for alternatives to traditional fish meal and fish oil. One of the most promising innovations in this space is AlgaPrime, a revolutionary ingredient that provides a sustainable and nutritious source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA.
Selecting the right feed is critical for achieving production goals on a fish farm. Conducting feed trials directly on the farm is the most effective way to identify the best option. BioMar helps guide this process.
