A study by Green Blue Health Pty Ltd in Thailand has found that prawns and barramundi prefer mussels to fish meal.

Feeds containing mussel meal at various inclusion rates will therefore be tested in formulations also containing poultry by-product and plant-based ingredients to assess growth rates, intake, digestibility, prawn yields and consumer acceptance. The sustainable formulations will also include a seaweed additive currently used in Mexico, Brazil, Korea, and Vietnam. These will be compared against a commercially relevant fishmeal diet. Black tiger prawns are renowned for being picky when it comes to their ...
