Effects of Replacing Fishmeal with Soybean Products in Fish and Crustaceans Performance
Author(s): Watson Ray Gyan, Stephen Ayiku and Qihui Yang*
Fish meal (FM) is a principal dietary protein source in aquafeed. The rapid development of aquaculture resulted in high demand and a shortage of (FM) supply. The reason mentioned above has led to a search for an alternative protein sources as (FM) replacement in aquafeeds. Amongst plant protein ingredients, soybean meal (SB) is suggested as the most nutritive plant protein source but some contains high concentration of anti-nutritional factors. Among most soybean products compared with FM, soybean protein concentrate (SPC) is most suitable to replace fishmeal in aquafeed because of its high protein content and better amino acid profile than other soybean products such as soybean meal (SBM). Moreover, more SPC can be used to fully or partially replace FM as compared to SBM without adverse effects on growth performance and health condition in fish and crustaceans. This review reveals th..
