AquaSim
AquaSim is Skretting's modelling tool that allows farmers to forecast how fish and shrimp will perform in their surrounding conditions, with cost-benefit evaluations of different farming situations.
Can efficient feed management help improve the sustainability of aquaculture?
Yes. Thanks to modern systems designed to support decision making relating to the diet of the fish or shrimp, farmers are able to optimise the amount of feed used, thereby improving efficiency while reducing waste and environmental impacts.
Frequent questions on feed
Is one feed sufficient for all aquaculture species?
No. Fish and shrimp, like humans, depend on a balanced diet to stay healthy and have different nutritional needs throughout their life cycle. Skretting produces feeds that support fish and shrimp throughout all life cycle and production needs.
How much feed is needed to grow a farmed fish?
Fish and shrimp are extremely efficient in converting feed into high-quality protein. On average, farmed fish require 1.1 kg of feed to gain 1 kg of body mass, compared with 1.7 kg for poultry and 6.6 kg for cattle.
Can efficient feed management help improve the sustainability of aquaculture?
Yes. Thanks to modern systems designed to support decision making relating to the diet of the fish or shrimp, farmers are able to optimise the amount of feed used, thereby improving efficiency while reducing waste and environmental impacts.
Does fish feed have a shelf life?
Yes. Skretting products have a number of different recommended shelf lives. Despite the recommendations below, the shelf life will depend on how feed is stored and the temperature of storage.
