Improving feed efficiency in fish using selective breeding: A review

de Verdal, H.; Komen, H.; Quillet, E.; Chatain, B.; Allal, F.; Benzie, J.A.; Vandeputte, M. (2017)

Type: Journal Article

Improving feed efficiency (FE) is key to reducing production costs in aquaculture and to achieving sustainability for the aquaculture industry. Feed costs account for 30-70% of total production costs in aquaculture; much ...
An investigation of links between metabolic rate and feed efficiency in European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax

Rodde, C.; de Verdal, H.; Vandeputte, M.; Allal, F.; Nati, J.; Besson, M.; Blasco, F.R.; Benzie, J.; McKenzie, D.; John Benzie: 0000-0001-9599-8683 (2021)

Type: Journal Article

Feed efficiency (FE) is the amount of body weight gain for a given feed intake. Improving FE through selective breeding is key for sustainable finfish aquaculture but its evaluation at individual level is technically ...
Population, temperature and feeding rate effects on individual feed efficiency in European Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)

Rodde, C.; Vandeputte, M.; Allal, F.; Besson, M.; Clota, F.; Vergnet, A.; Benzie, J.; de Verdal, H.; John Benzie: 0000-0001-9599-8683 (2020)

Type: Journal Article

Using breeding programs to improve feed efficiency, the ratio between fish body weight gain (BWG) and feed intake (FI), could increase aquaculture sustainability through reduced feed costs and environmental impact. To this ...
