Recent Advances, Challenges, Opportunities, Product Development and Sustainability of Main Agricultural Wastes for the Aquaculture Feed Industry – A Review

Abstract Million tonnes of agricultural waste are generated annually worldwide. Agricultural wastes possess similar profiles to the main products but lower in quality. Managing these is costly and requires strict regulation minimise environmental stress. Thus, by-products could be repurposed for industrial use, such as alternative resources aquafeed reduce reliance on fish meal soybean meal, fertilisers enrich medium growing live feed, antimicrobial agents, immunostimulatory enhancers. Furthermore, utilising other can help mitigate existing economic dilemmas. Therefore, transforming into valuable helps sustain industry, minimises impacts, benefits industry players. Aquaculture an important sector supply affordable protein sources billions it essential explore inexpensive sustainable enhance aquaculture production public health impacts. Additionally, researchers farmers need understand elements involved new product development, particularly novel innovations, provide highest quality consumers. In summary, agriculture a resource that depends several factors: formulation, costing, supply, feed treatment nutritional value.
