Fish Nutrition and Feed Technology

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid growth of modern aquaculture reflects the future of our planet and people. As the global population and demands for seafood increase, it is clear that we must develop sustainable aquaculture to supplement wild-caught seafood products.

As aquafeed is one of the most significant factors for successful sustainable aquaculture, it is important to understand fish nutrition and apply this knowledge to the latest feed technologies. Since the 1960s, the research on the abovementioned areas has rapidly progressed in many ways; therefore, there is a need to consolidate the latest information regarding aquaculture development.

This Special Issue aims to provide the latest information on fish nutrition and feed technology to develop sustainable aquafeeds. Submissions may take the form of original research, full or mini-reviews, and perspectives on topics including, but not limited to, the following:

• Fish nutrition, or more generally for aquatic animals;
• The evaluation of test ingredients and practical diets for cultured species;
• The evaluation of functional supplements to improve the nutritional value of aquafeed;
• Metabolic pathways of nutrients, including gene expression, for aquatic animals;
• New technology for aquafeed production systems;
• The evaluation of newly introduced feed production technology.
