Abstract

Fish culture or aquaculture is developing worldwide as a promising way to produce additional amounts of good-quality food and to compensate for the depletion of the fishing resources traditionally harvested. In countries such as Canada, aquaculture is also a means for an enhanced and controlled production of high-priced marine species such as shellfish and salmonids, among other products. Intensive aquacultural production systems require the availability of abundant and inexpensive sources of food for the marine animals being cultivated. Feeds for aquaculture processes account for some of the main costs associated with this economic activity. This fact is particularly true in northern areas, which need to import most of the feed components from distant places.
