Final Report

Brief Project Summary:

Ongoing efforts to develop and test aquafeed diets formulated with terrestrial-based ingredients (both protein and oil) from soybeans have made significant progress. This project conducted a pre-commercial Kampachi grow-out validation trial comparing 40% soy protein concentrate and 48.5% soy protein concentrate diets from two commercial feed mills with fishmeal-based commercial feed. The diet formulation had no compromise in nutritional quality and taste of the harvested fish, and was a formulation that was cost comparable with commercial diets. The 48.5% soy protein concentrate diet had no marine ingredients (fishmeal or fish oil) and had an inclusion rate of 15% algal paste.

Key Audience:
Aquaculture feed producers, aquaculture nutritionists, fish producers
