Sustainable Feed Ingredients and Additives for Aquaculture Farming

Perspectives from Africa and Asia

Herausgegeben: Gabriel, Ndakalimwe Naftal; Abasubong, Kenneth Prudence; Erasmus, Victoria Ndinelago; Kamble, Manoj Tukaram

Beschreibung

This book describes sustainable aquaculture ingredients and additives uncovered in Africa and Asia. It also discusses current aquaculture research practices on alternative protein, carbohydrate, lipid, mineral, vitamin, and feed additives. It further demonstrates how aquaculture practices could be a feasible and cost-effective venture, capable of producing products in an environmentally sustainable manner. The aquaculture industry is suffering from scarcity of sustainable feedstuffs, particularly protein and oil components, which play an important role in the nutritional requirements of many aquaculture species. The availability of components such as fish meal, fish oil, and other synthetic feed additives has rendered aquaculture operations unsustainable, particularly in terms of cost. Therefore, the quest to replace such unsustainable components is developing in Africa and Asia.

This book helps aquaculture farmers, researchers, the aquafeed industry, investors, students, lawmakers, and other stakeholders in the aquaculture field to comprehend scientific-based sustainable feed ingredients and additives in aquaculture from an African and Asian viewpoint.

Autor

Ndakalimwe Naftal Gabriel, a senior lecturer in the Department of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences at the University of Namibia, holds a PhD in fisheries and aquatic sciences. Gabriel completed his bachelor's degree in biological sciences at UNAM and master's degree in aquaculture from Nanjing Agricultural University, China. Dr. Gabriel has also done post-doctoral research at Kentucky State University's Department of Aquaculture Nutrition in Frankfurt, USA, and Asian Institute of Technology's Aquaculture Nutrition laboratory in Thailand. Gabriel has more than 15 years of experience in the aquaculture field, particularly in aquaculture nutrition. His past research focused on discovering sustainable alternative feed additives that enhance fish health, disease resistance, growth, and are environmentally and economically sustainable. His post-doctoral studies centered on searching for alternative plant protein sources in aquaculture and studying the inclusion of conditional amino acids (hydroxyproline) in aquafeed.  Dr. Kenneth Prudence Abasubong obtained both his master's and doctoral degrees at Nanjing Agricultural University in China. He has a bachelor's degree in animal sciences from the University of Calabar. In addition to this, he holds a postgraduate diploma in aquatic environmental management from the University of Uyo in Nigeria. Dr. Abasubong specializes in aquaculture nutrition, with a focus on fish nutrient metabolism, excretion, immune pathways, feed science, eco-intensification of fish farming using recycled waste, and sustainable aquaculture development. He is currently conducting post-doctoral research at the Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of Waters, South Bohemian Research Center of Aquaculture and Biodiversity of Hydrocenoses, Institute of Aquaculture and Protection of Waters, Czech Republic. With over nine years of experience as an animal and aquaculture nutrition researcher, Abasubong has built a strong foundation in his field. Dr. Victoria Ndinelago Erasmus holds a doctorate degree in fisheries science from Rhodes University, South Africa. She also has a master's degree in biology, a post-graduate diploma in education and a bachelor's degree in environmental, molecular and physiological biology, from the University of Namibia. Dr. Erasmus is a marine scientist who works as the operations manager at the Fisheries Observer Agency (FOA), Namibia. The fisheries observers observe the harvesting, handling, and processing of marine resources. Dr. Erasmus has over 10 years of research experience in the field of marine science. Dr Erasmus has 15+ peer-reviewed scientific publications, including a book chapter. Her research interest includes fisheries management, ocean governance, climate change, feeding ecology of marine species, aquaculture, and marine pollution.  Dr. Manoj Tukaram Kamble currently serves as a C2F post-doctoral researcher (Track A) at the Center of Excellence in Wildlife, Exotic, and Aquatic Animal Pathology within the Faculty of Veterinary Science at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand. He obtained his master's and doctorate degree in aquaculture and aquatic resources management (AARM) from the Asian Institute of Technology, Pathum Thani, Thailand, and his bachelor's degree in fisheries science from the College of Fisheries, Maharashtra, India. His academic achievements include receiving postdoctoral researcher positions at both Chulalongkorn University and Mahidol University in Bangkok, Thailand. He has more than 10 years of research experience in sustainable aquaculture. Kamble's research interests encompass a diverse array of subjects, including phytobiotics, sulfated polysaccharides, herbal anesthetics, and the development of nanovaccines for disease resistance in various aquaculture species such as Nile tilapia, red tilapia, Pacific white shrimp, freshwater prawn, and mud crab.
