CURRENT SCENARIO OF THE NORTH AMERICA FISH FEED MARKET

Fish Feed is an important part of modern commercial aquaculture, providing the balanced nutrition needed by farmed fish. The feeds, in the form of pellets or granules, provide nutrition in a concentrated and stable form, enabling the fish to feed efficiently and grow at their full potential.

Traditionally two of the most important ingredients have been fishing oil and fishmeal. The development of dry pelleted fish feeds to date has two main themes. One theme is improving digestibility and refining the balance of nutrients so as to match the needs of the different species of fish more precisely at different periods of development. The other type is to improve the sustainability of the ingredients used. This is being attained mainly by identifying additional sustainable sources of ingredients, in particular, to reduce the need for fish oil and fishmeal. Improving the efficiency of feeding also assists sustainability.

The driving factors of the North American fish feed market are population growth, rising income, and rapid urbanization, which is facilitated by the strong expansion of fish production and more efficient distribution channels.

The yield which is obtained from the wild catch cannot be increased sustainably, therefore, in the opinion of observers such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, aquaculture must fill the gap.
