Aquaculture is rising in prevalence and importance in today's society with the increase in fish consumption and the limitations imposed by normal fishing methods. The world's population is rising and the subsequent demand for high protein sources of food is rising with it. A push for healthier sources of protein in industrialized nations is also increasing demand. Aquaculture offers a solution to these issues by providing a high protein food that requires less space to farm, a faster harvest time, lower cost to produce, and is less detrimental to the environment. Disease and mortality present a significant problem in that farmed fish are in crowded conditions leading to certain results. They are susceptible to contagious diseases that can spread rapidly in close quarters as well as their stress levels are increased in these unnatural conditions. This increase in stress over time leads to a reduction in immune response and therefore an increase in susceptibility. However, current aquaculture techniques involve the use of chemical drugs in order to reduce disease and mortality within the crops. In order to provide solutions to the problems of farming and the needs of the people without the use of potentially harmful substances many researchers are looking into the use of nutraceuticals in feed in order to decrease stress responses, increase immune responses, increase growth, and increase the nutritional value of farmed fish . This presentation will cover an overview of the use of different nutraceuticals and the beneficial results obtained from them.
