Innovative and Sustainable Ingredients for Redefining Aquaculture Feeds: Second Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production industry today, with an outstanding contribution to one of the greatest global challenges, which is to feed the 9.6 billion people who will inhabit the world by the year 2050. This fact makes the current reliance of the aquaculture industry on feeds produced from wild-caught fish unsustainable. Therefore, and despite the important efforts focused on finding and testing alternative ingredients able to reduce the dependency on regular ingredients carried out, developing sustainable and nutritious aquafeeds still remains one of the greatest challenges in aquaculture.

Considering the success of our previous Special Issue, we are pleased to launch "Innovative and Sustainable Ingredients for Redefining Aquaculture Feeds: Second Edition". The aim of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality papers concerning innovative and sustainable ingredients that not only provide an adequate nutritional value, but are also available at an industrial scale, as well as economically affordable. Therefore, we invite the submission of recent findings, in the form of original research articles or reviews, on fish nutrition oriented toward improving the growth and general status of the animals as well as recent findings about biotechnological treatment to improve their nutrient quality and bioavailability for the optimization of feed and raw materials.
