Nutrient Utilization of Fermented Plant Protein Sources in the Diet of Shrimp

By Jannathulla R

Aquaculture is growing rapidly at the rate of 8.4% per annum among the various food-producing sectors in the world (FAO 2015). Global aquaculture production has steadily increased from 34 million metric tones (MMT) in 2000 to 73.8 MMT in 2014 and reached nowadays about 97.2 MMT with an estimated value of USD 157 billion to address the demand and also shortfalls in capture fisheries (FAO 2015). It includes 575 aquatic species that weregrown in freshwater, seawater, and brackish water. FAO (2015) reported that the farmed food fish production (finfish, crustaceans, molluscs, and other aquatic animals) was around 66.5 MMT in 2012 and increased by 5.6% in 2013 (7.2 MMT). Shrimp farming is an important component and plays a significant role in generating a substantial income in many developing countries along with an increase in food security. Commercial shrimp farming was practiced since the 1970s on a large scale but traditional shrimp farming has been in vogue for nearly a century in Asian countries. It grew and happens to grow steeply outpacing the market demand, especially for western countries (United States, Japan, and Europe). The production of farmed shrimp was about 1.0 MMT globally in 2000 and reached between 3 and 3.5 MMT within a decade (GOAL 2015). Asian countries particularly China, Thailand, Indonesia, India, and Vietnam contribute about 75% of the total farmed shrimp production and the remaining 25% comes from Latin Americawherein Brazil, Ecuador and Mexico are the largest producers.
