Description
Seong Woo Shin and Sung Hwoan Cho present a 2026 feeding trial that swaps fish meal for duck by-product meal in diets for olive flounder, a farmed flatfish. Fish meal is costly, so cheaper protein matters for fish farming. Four hundred fifty young fish were spread across eighteen tanks and fed six diets for fifty days, with duck meal replacing zero to all of the fish meal.
Fish on the control diet and on diets replacing twenty or forty percent of fish meal grew best and earned the best economic returns. Higher replacement levels cut weight gain and feed intake. Feed use, blood chemistry, and body composition otherwise held steady. Duck by-product meal can replace up to forty percent of fish meal without harming growth or profit, the authors conclude.
