OPTIMISING AQUACULTURE BUSINESS

The book aims to address pressing challenges in aquaculture feed development. The rapid growth of aquaculture has intensified the demand for cost-effective sustainable and nutritionally adequate feed alternatives. Conventional feed ingredients are increasingly expensive and environmentally taxing creating a need for innovative solutions. The use of dried Lemon pulp a by-product of the citrus industry is rich in carbohydrates fiber and bioactive compounds making it a promising alternative ingredient for fish diets. It seeks to fill a critical gap in aquaculture literature by providing empirical evidence and practical insights on using unconventional feed ingredients. It also serves as a resource for aquaculture practitioners researchers and policymakers aiming to implement sustainable feeding strategies. With aquaculture playing a crucial role in global food security optimizing the production of nutrient-dense species like African catfish becomes essential. Dried Lemon pulp represents a viable pathway to enhance productivity and sustainability in developing regions especially in resource-constrained environments.
