Aquaculture plays an important role in the sustainable development of the Southeast Asian region considering its significant contribution to food security, poverty alleviation and socio-economic well-being of the people. However, the development of aquaculture is highly constrained by the insufficient and inconsistent supply of fish meal and other fish-based products leading to the rising cost of aquaculture feeds. Since a large portion of fish meal supply also goes to terrestrial animal feeds, the use of fish-based products for animal feeds had been questioned because it conflicts with the use of the same resources for direct human consumption of the region’s growing population. In order to ensure the sustainable development of aquaculture, countries in the region should understand such situation and explore options in the production of aquaculture feeds using suitable and cost-effective substitutes for fish meal and fishery products.
