According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO, the consumption of fish has rapidly increased in recent years, especially in the last decades, going from 9.9 kg per individual in 1960s to 19.7 kg per individual in 2013. This increase in consumption leads to the demand, by the consumer, that management methods,breeding and nutrition be improved, thus increasing productivity.

In the fish production chain, the improvement of a few productive traits, such as specific growth, is essential for the success of the activity, given that, from the economic point-of-view, this trait is prominent for being intrinsically connected to productivity and production profitability. In this context, the use of economically feasible and natural nutritional compounds, capable of promoting such increment in animal growth, can be an important ally to the producer.(Read more)
