Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquaculture production is increasing and has already surpassed fish catches. Within aquaculture activities, crustacean production is one of the most profitable. However, one of the major challenges is adequate nutrition due to the high costs of the ingredients used, such as fishmeal and fish oil, to formulate the feed. Therefore, the search for new sustainable ingredients and food additives to suppress this increase in production and at the same time reduce dependence on sources of fishmeal and fish oil of marine origin is essential for the sustainability of shrimp farming. Thus, it is necessary to develop research in this area not only to improve growth and physiological responses, but also to bring economic benefits. This Special Issue includes approaches that promote the evaluation and implementation of feed additives that contribute to improving rearing conditions for shrimp growth, immune responses, and economic benefits.
