Abstract

The DELIFEED project takes a circular bio-economy approach to advance sustainable aquaculture practices by utilizing waste streams and byproducts as feedstock and develop innovative methods for producing nutritious and immune-stimulating live feed to support the health and growth of juvenile farmed fish. This initiative seeks to address the critical need for high-quality live feed during early fish development, enhancing animal welfare and environmental sustainability while bolstering aquaculture production and profitability.

Key objectives include replacing Artemia with terrestrial invertebrates like nematodes and white worms to optimize live feed quality, enriching feed with essential omega-3 fatty acids, and reducing reliance on antibiotics through integration of probiotics and novel oral vaccines administered via bioencapsulation. Cryopreservation techniques will be employed to extend shelf life and stabilize feed supplies.

The consortium, comprising research groups (AU, AAU, DTU), live feed producers and biotech companies (FISHLAB, E-NEMA, W42), and aquaculture firms (VENØ, SKAGENSAL, AQUAPRI, ALPHAAQUA, NORDICHALI, LANDAKVA), aims to commercialize these innovations, creating new employment opportunities and driving industry growth.

The DELIFEED project represents a pivotal effort to revolutionize aquaculture through sustainable feed innovations, with far-reaching benefits for industry, animal welfare, and marine biodiversity.
