Overview

Fish culture, also known as aquaculture or fish farming, refers to the controlled breeding, rearing, and harvesting of fish in managed aquatic environments for food production and other purposes. Research published in the International Journal of Aquaculture Research and Development addresses practical challenges and innovations in this field, including regional obstacles to fish farming implementation, alternative feed formulations, and the nutritional optimization of cultured species. Studies have examined barriers to fish culture adoption in specific geographic contexts, explored the use of locally available plant-based protein sources such as pigeon pea seeds, lima bean meal, and castor seed cake as partial or complete replacements for conventional fishmeal in aquaculture diets, and evaluated their effects on growth performance and feed efficiency in commercially important species including Nile tilapia, African catfish, and hybrid catfish. This research addresses critical sustainability and economic concerns in aquaculture by identifying cost-effective, regionally appropriate feed alternatives that can reduce dependence on marine-derived ingredients while maintaining fish health and productivity. The journal has also published broader reviews on related topics such as algae applications in industrial and biotechnological contexts, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of modern aquaculture science.
