In a recent feeding trial with young L. vannamei shrimp, we have fed practical diets in which the fishmeal (20% in the control diet) was replaced by different concentrations of Empro’s protein meals. After 6 weeks of feeding we could conclude that a replacement of up to 68% of the LT fishmeal with the Empro meals had no negative effect on growth and positively influenced the survival. In practical shrimp diets, the replacement of a large part of the LT fishmeal by Empro’s protein meals will lead to a significant cost reduction and thus to a more cost efficient and sustainable production.

Aquavlan2 supports aquaculture companies situated in Flanders and the Netherlands in their technical and innovative challenges. Further development of techniques should allow them to close fresh – and salt water aquaculture cycles, develop new feed for fish and shellfish and prevent the earthy flavour in aquaculture products. Other companies get  the unique opportunity to answer specific questions through a voucher system. In this way the aquaculture sector can be extended and existing companies can strengthen their global competitiveness.
