Impact of the partial replacement of fish meal with a chloroplast rich fraction on the growth and selected nutrient profile of zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Increasing global aquaculture production, is putting pressure on fishmeal and fish oil supply. There is therefore a growing search for more sustainable sources of proteins and polyunsaturated fatty acids as fish feed ingredients. Chloroplasts are the organelles in the leaves of plants where many of the valuable nutrients, fatty acids (FAs), amino acids, vitamins and pigments, are synthesised.
