Brief Project Summary:

Global aquaculture production has increased almost 12 fold since 1980 and currently provides over half of the fish and shellfish directly consumed by humans.

Indeed, the aquaculture feed industry is clamoring for cost-effective and widely-available protein feedstuffs for replacing fishmeal (FM). Plant-protein feedstuffs are promising alternatives for FM, and currently soybean meal (SBM) is the foremost plant-protein ingredient in...
