Dietary self-selection in fish: a geometrical approach for optimizing aquaculture production

Cel

The main objective is to harmonize individual research activities to take advantage of recent theoretical and experimental advances in fish nutrition to assess:
a) whether and how fish regulate their macronutrient intake, finding targets in the nutritional space (three macronutrients axes) and verify that fish defend them,
b) how they balance over-ingesting some nutrients against under-eating others when provided with suboptimal diets of animal and plant origin,
c) how they regulate food selection, growth and body composition post-ingestively, and
d) how such points of regulation change with the age of fish, season and rearing conditions.

Such data will allow manufacturers to formulate feeds that better reflect the needs and regulatory responses of fish. As a result, feeding performance and flesh composition will be optimized, fish welfare improved, and and other waste products minimized, providing considerable benefits to the aquaculture industry and its consumers.
