The regular feed conversion ratio, i.e. output fish mass divided by total feed mass. The conversion ratio only taking into account the fish-based component of fish feed, called the FIFO ratio (or Fish In – Fish Out ratio). FIFO is fish in (the mass of harvested fish used to feed farmed fish) divided by fish out (mass of the resulting farmed ...
In the current technology, fish feed extruders play a key role in production lines. Although the majority of the process of the fish feed production occurs in the extruder, grinding and mixing can highly affect the quality of the final product. [14] Water is added and the resulting paste is extruded through holes in a metal plate. The diameter ...
These higher protein-level requirements are a consequence of the higher feed efficiency of aquatic animals (higher feed conversion ratio [FCR], that is, kg of feed per kg of animal produced). Fish such as salmon have an FCR around 1.1 kg of feed per kg of salmon [11] whereas chickens are in the 2.5 kg of feed per kg of chicken range. Fish do ...
Commercially farmed fish are broadly classified into herbivorous fish, which eat mostly plant proteins like soy or corn, vegetable oils, minerals, and vitamins; and carnivorous fish, which are given fish oils and proteins. Carnivorous fish feed contains 30-50% fish meal and oil, but recent research suggests finding alternatives to fish meal in ...
The issues include animal welfare, the efficiency of food production, health risks and the environmental impact (e.g. agricultural pollution and climate change). [ 11 ] [ 12 ] [ 13 ] There are also concerns as to whether intensive animal farming is sustainable in the long-run, given its costs in resources. [ 14 ]

Prior to 1910, fish meal was primarily used as fertilizer, at least in the UK. [2]Fish meal is now primarily used as a protein supplement in compound feed. [2] [3] As of 2010, about 56% of fish meal was used to feed farmed fish, about 20% was used in pig feed, about 12% in poultry feed, and about 12% in other uses, which included fertilizer. [1]
