Fish Oil Replacement and Alternative Lipid Sources in Aquaculture Feeds

After decades of unsustainable fishing practices, there is now great urgency within aquaculture to find and implement sustainable alternatives to fish meal and fish oil and to transform aquaculture into an environmentally friendly and economically viable means of increasing the global supply of fish and seafood. This book is the first comprehensive review on the multifaceted, complex issues relative to increasing global demand for fish products, as well as fish oil shortages and fish oil substitution in the formulation and production of feed for farmed aquatic species.
