Aquafeed is primarily known as fish feed, which is commercially produced to feed various aquatic species. It provides a complete diet for fish and other aquatic species and assists in providing the required nutrients to them. The various aquatic species include Carps, Molluscs, Shrimps, Crustaceans, Catfish, Trouts, and others. Aquafeed contains various ingredients such as wheat, corn, pulses, and oilseeds in which different feed additives are applied to enhance the functionality of the aquafeed. It is provided to the aquatic animals based on their life cycle.
Aquafeed market is expected to grow at CAGR of 7% backed by increase in awareness among farmers about benefits of feeding the aquaculture with commercial aquafeed. Availability of nutrition rich ingredients and increasing aquaculture activities are other market growth factors. Consumers are preferring the aquaculturaly raised fishes over normal fishes, this change in consumption pattern is influencing the demand for quality aquafeed from aquaculture firms.
Ingredient quality is major factor in formulation of superior aquafeed as characteristics can affect all aspect of aquatic animal culture. The use of alternative protein source will be a major issue in aquafeed formulation which will increase demand for fishmeal in upcoming years. A variety of such sources has been evaluated as partial or complete fishmeal replacers in aquafeed. Most common among these is soybean meal. The growth of Aquafeed Market will also depend upon establishment of sustainable production operations with focus on natural ecological factors along availability of resources. High demand for fishmeal and its shortage has resulted in significant increase in use of various alternate protein ingredients. Significant differences has been noticed in aquafeed production starting from feeding habit to actual dietary fishmeal consumption.
