Abstract

Indonesia has significant potential in fisheries waste production, yet its utilization remains suboptimal due to its low economic value. However, this waste contains essential nutrients such as protein, essential fats, minerals, and vitamins that are beneficial for shrimp growth and health. Meanwhile, the high cost of commercial shrimp feed has driven the demand for more affordable alternatives, one of which is the utilization of fish waste. This study aims to analyze the omega-3 content in fish waste and evaluate its potential as an alternative feed ingredient to enhance the economic value of fisheries waste while providing nutritious feed at a reduced cost. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed through a literature review, with data collected from theses, scientific articles, and relevant journals. Data analysis was systematically conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that various fish waste components (bones, skin, fins, head, and scales) contain essential nutrients including protein (≥50%), fat (≥10%), and ash (≤5%), meeting feed ingredient standards. However, it is important to note that excessive levels of unsaturated fatty acids may compromise feed quality, necessitating proper management. In conclusion, this study highlights the significant potential of fish waste as an omega-3-rich alternative feed source that can increase the economic value of fisheries waste and reduce production costs, provided that nutrient composition is carefully regulated.

Abstract

Feed is a crucial element in aquaculture, directly influencing the growth and reproduction of aquatic organisms. This study aims to explore the potential of forage-based ingredients as alternative feed sources to reduce reliance on costly conventional inputs such as fish meal. Various locally available forages, including aquatic plants (Azolla sp., Lemna sp., and water hyacinth), tree legumes (leucaena and calliandra), and tuber crops (cassava leaves), were evaluated based on their nutritional composition and feasibility for use in aquafeed. Processing methods such as physical (drying, grinding, pelletizing), chemical (acid and enzyme addition), and biological (fermentation using Aspergillus niger or rumen enzymes) treatments were applied to enhance digestibility and reduce antinutritional factors. Analytical assessments showed that these treatments significantly lowered crude fiber content while increasing protein concentration and improving palatability. Fermented leucaena leaves and azolla powder, for instance, demonstrated improved nutritional profiles and potential for inclusion in practical feed formulations. The study concludes that forage-based feed processing improves feed efficiency and supports sustainable, low-cost aquaculture. Continued innovation in forage processing technology is recommended to support national feed self-sufficiency goals and promote environmentally friendly aquaculture practices.

Abstract

Phytic acid is a form of phosphorus storage that can interfere with the absorption of starch and protein as an energy source from cereal grain flour. This review aims to explore the benefits of microbial fermentation processing in producing phytase enzymes to degrade phytic acid and improve the nutritional quality of grain-based fish feed. Through a comprehensive literature study approach, reviewing the mechanism of phytase production, characteristics of potential microbes, and fermentation process optimization strategies that can affect the effectiveness of enzymes in reducing phytic acid content. The results of the study showed that the microbes Bacillus subtilis, Aspergillus niger, and Lactobacillus plantarum have the potential to produce phytase. Optimization of environmental conditions in fermentation and phytase application is influenced by media composition, environmental parameters, microbial strains and fish species, becoming the key to the success of effective enzyme application. Optimal fermentation conditions range from pH 4.5-6.5 and temperature 45-55℃. Addition of phytase with a dose of 0.75-2 g/kg feed can increase growth. Phytase can increase digestibility and is effectively needed (range 500-1500 mg/kg) in farmed fish.
