. Shivaji G Jetithor and Datta Ashok Nalle


Abstract

Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food-producing systems in the world. The continuous increase of aquaculture production is expected to meet an increasing demand for fish products in both developing and developed countries. However, aquaculture is expanding in a period of environmental awareness and is, therefore, subject to regulations designed to limit its effect on the environment. In order for world aquaculture production to continue to increase, it will be necessary to reduce discharge of wastes, especially phosphorus (P), from fish farms to the aquatic environment.

Index terms: fish feed, Minerals, dietary phosphorus, dietary calcium.
