 ABSTRACT

Aquaculture is the fastest food growing sector in the world. In the last 25 years, it is growing ay an average of around 8%. As aquaculture is increasing rapidly demand of aquafeed is also increasing. But Indian aquaculture is dominated by one species (L. vannamei). But species diversification in aquaculture industry can bring a broad market for seafood. In Japan, S. quinqueradiata contribute a major chunk in total aquaculture production. It has very high growth in cage and it also feeds on the trash fish. But culturing this species will have constraint in India. So, there is a need for insight in these species nutritional and feeding requirements. This paper presents protein and amino acid requirement, energy requirement, lipid and fatty acid requirement, carbohydrate requirement, vitamin and mineral requirement and feeding practices.

Keywords: S. quinqueradiata, Yellowtail fish, nutrient requirement, feeding requirement.
