Alternative Protein Sources for Sustainable Tilapia Farming

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Novel Approaches Toward Sustainable Tilapia Aquaculture

Abstract

During the past 20 years, there has been a growing concern about how best to replace fish meals with more sustainable, cost-effective, and environment-friendly ingredients. A global crisis of high feed prices, expansion of the aquaculture sector, and the increasing proportion of farmed fish have run into a decrease in the supply of fishmeal products. Therefore, scientists have redoubled efforts to discover alternatives and more renewable ingredients for aquafeeds worldwide. The goal has been to protect ecosystems and increase economic viability based on enhanced efficiency of production facility outputs and nutritional efficiency. A key challenge though is sourcing sustainable, renewable protein ingredients. This chapter reviews the advances, novel ingredients, and new techniques that serve the mission for the future of aquafeed research on alternatives for fishmeal to achieve global aquaculture sustainability, with a focus on partial or full replacement of fishmeal, especially in the feed of tilapia.
