Fish feed raw materials for sustainable Aquaculture

Fish feed raw materials for sustainable Aquaculture

Fish feed raw materials for sustainable Aquaculture

The contribution of aquaculture products to the global food supply is increasing. Therefore, promoting the consumption of aquatic foods can significantly contribute to addressing global nutritional challenges and enhancing overall well-being. Currently, efforts are taking place to adopt more eco-friendly practices to minimize the environmental footprint.

The European Commission has set the following challenges and opportunities for EU aquaculture:a) building resilience and competitiveness, b) participating in the green transition, c) ensuring social acceptance and consumer information, and d) increasing knowledge and innovation.

Fish feed is a crucial parameter in aquaculture. Feed ingredients should ensure animal welfare and health, be cost-effective, and respect the environment. Research is concentrated on discovering alternative feed ingredients sourced in a more sustainable manner. These include proteins and oils from yeast, insects, algae, and plants.

This course offers insight into current trends and good practices of fish feed research, as well as the initiatives developed to achieve social acceptance and provide information to consumers, with the aim of ensuring sustainable aquaculture

Some of the main scientific approaches to Fish feed raw materials for sustainable Aquaculture involve:

  • How to set up a fish-rearing experiment in RAS and monitor rearing conditions.
  • Introduction to aquafeed production methodology.
  • Familiarization with the essential nutrients required by different aquatic species and how these nutrients can be sourced from various raw materials.
  • Preparation of fish feed yeast additive formulation of feeds for fish.
  • Production and incorporation of insect meals as protein sources in fish feed, a sustainable and protein-rich feed ingredient for aquaculture.
  • Microalgae production in bioreactors, as a promising and sustainable approach to addressing various environmental and energy challenges.
  • Research and Data Analysis: collecting and analyzing data, evaluating the results, conducting statistical analyses allows one to draw meaningful conclusions.
  • Research and Development of sustainable aquaculture practices that include a better use of natural resources as well as the minimal production of effluent waters and wastes.

Learning outcomes:

  • Acquire knowledge on basic techniques used in fish feed production
  • Understanding Nutritional Requirements and knowledge on Feed Formulation
  • Analyze and compare data
  • Evaluate results
  • Develop laboratory skills
  • Current trends and good practices for sustainability in Aquaculture related to feed formulation, and waste utilization.

As every year, the @univlarochelle Green Party welcomed students with a fun and festive atmosphere, giving them the chance to discover all the services supporting their student life.

๐Ÿ‘‰ The EU-CONEXUS team joined the event with a geography game about our partner universitiesโ€™ countries, a playful way to present the many opportunities offered by the alliance: mobility, internships, projects, and international experiences

๐Ÿ‘ Special thanks to @ayadaac, student and EU-CONEXUS ambassador, for being part of our stand! Last spring, she took part in the EU-CONEXUS Festival in Limassol (Cyprus), a great example of the international experiences our students can enjoy.

๐Ÿ’š A great start to the academic year, full of discoveries, encounters, and a true European spirit!

Yesterday, Neringa Narbutiene, Institutional Coordinator at @universidadcatolicavalencia , joined Hanna Leonhard (@ureka_eu ) and Giovanni Andriolo (@universitasmontium ) to co-host the World Cafรฉ session โ€œCo-creating a shared student identity within EUI alliancesโ€ at the @theeaie Annual Conference in Gothenburg.

Together, they explored how students across European University alliances can develop a genuine sense of belonging and proudly identify with their networks.

They also presented the Student Identity Building Blocks Canvas, a methodology created within the EU-CONEXUS #IamSTUDENT project to help alliances strengthen student engagement.

Thank you to everyone who joined the discussion and shared their experience of building a shared European student identity.

From 15โ€“18 September 2025, our partner @klaipeda From 15โ€“18 September 2025, our partner @klaipedauniversity will proudly host the ICES Annual Science Conference 2025 in Klaipฤ—da, Lithuania ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡น

This flagship event of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) brings together marine scientists from around the world to share cutting-edge research, exchange ideas, and foster lasting collaborations.

As a proud member of EU-CONEXUS, this is a significant milestone for Klaipeda University โ€” and for the whole alliance โ€” showing how our partner universities can take the lead in hosting such prestigious international events in the field of marine science and sustainability. ๐Ÿ’™
