Effect of dietary protein source and ingredient grinding size on fish performance, faecal waste production and characteristics of yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi) fed restrictively and to apparent satiation

Peter Horstmann et al.

Summary: Recently, the cultivation of yellowtail kingfish in recirculating aquaculture systems has become popular, but the high faecal waste load has posed challenges. This study investigated the effects of partial fish meal replacement and ingredient grinding size on faecal waste production and characteristics in yellowtail kingfish. The results showed that reducing fish meal and increasing plant ingredient inclusion led to higher faecal waste production and lower removal efficiency. However, feeding to apparent satiation reduced these adverse effects. Decreasing the ingredient grinding size tended to lower faecal waste production without negatively affecting fish performance or faecal characteristics.

Faecal waste production, characteristics and recovery in European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) is affected by dietary ingredient composition

E. Fountoulaki et al.

Summary: The study examined the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of faecal waste in European seabass fed diets with high inclusion of different feed ingredients. The results showed that the carbohydrate fraction of the diet had the most influence on the quantity and chemical composition of faeces produced. Increased inclusion of non-starch polysaccharide rich ingredients resulted in higher faecal recovery percentage despite higher faeces load. Overall, high inclusion of alternate ingredients affected both the quantitative and qualitative characters of the faecal waste in European seabass, with implications for environmental sustainability of European seabass aquaculture.
