A Review of Feed Attractants as a Guide for Aquaculture Operations

Thaleia N. Roda, Razieh Farzad, and Micheal S. Allen

The aquaculture industry can use feed attractants to improve the feed intake efficiency of various fish and shellfish species. These attractants can improve fish growth and survival, particularly during the sensitive early-life phases when effective feeding is critical to survival. Thus, there is a need to review the types of attractants and their effectiveness in improving fish growth and survival. In this EDIS publication, we provide background information on how feed attractants work and a list of available feed attractants used by the industry.

Cellular Agriculture for Production of Cell-Based Seafood: Part 4—Exploring the Potential of Fish Skin and Fish Waste in the Circular Bioeconomy

Julia Tvedt, Boce Zhang, and Razieh Farzad

Cellular agriculture offers a groundbreaking approach to seafood production, where fish cells are cultivated to produce fish meat without traditional fishing or aquaculture. This method promises to meet the growing demand for seafood and addresses critical issues such as overfishing and habitat destruction. Fish waste, including fish skin, is a significant byproduct of the seafood industry that is often discarded; however, using fish waste as a resource for cell-based seafood production emerges as a compelling solution. Integrating fish waste into the production process can enhance the sustainability and efficiency of cellular agriculture. This approach aligns with the principles of the circular bioeconomy, transforming waste into valuable inputs and closing the loop in seafood production. This EDIS publication provides information on the potential of fish skin and other fish waste materials to be used as natural sources in cell-cultivated seafood production and its scaffolding.

Facts About Magnesium

Linda B. Bobroff and Jennifer Hillan

Many Americans don’t get enough magnesium in their diets. But most healthy people do not have signs of deficiency even if their intake is low because the body stores this mineral. However, people who abuse alcohol, take certain diuretic drugs, or have kidney disease may be at risk for magnesium deficiency. Long-lasting diarrhea or vomiting also can cause a deficiency. Older adults often do not get enough magnesium in their diets.
