Funded Activity Summary

Alternate diets for a sustainable aquaculture industry: neuroethology of feeding in barramundi. Our unique approach to identify the sensory requirements of farmed barramundi and develop new alternative feeds will 1. Improve barramundi production by increasing growth rates, 2. Enhance acceptance and ingestion of food pellets, thereby reducing leaching of nutrients vital to the fish and detrimental to the environment, 3. Help produce formulated diets that will offer the advantages of nutritional consistency, storage convenience, reduced feed waste and pollution and 4. Lower costs allowing for the successful and profitable production of barramundi and potentially other finfish.
