Fish feed for aquaculture is a nutritionally balanced formulated feed designed to support the growth, health, and feed conversion efficiency of farmed fish species such as salmon, tilapia, carp, and shrimp. Modern aquafeed contains a precise mix of protein sources (fishmeal, soybean meal, insect protein), lipids, vitamins, minerals, and functional additives to optimize growth performance and disease resistance. Advanced feed formulations also aim to improve sustainability by reducing dependence on wild-caught fishmeal and lowering environmental impact. With global aquaculture production expanding rapidly, high-performance fish feed plays a critical role in ensuring productivity, profitability, and environmental sustainability.

In 2025, global Fish feed for aquaculture production reached approximately 28.59 million tons, with an average global market price of around US$ 694 per ton. And global Fish feed for aquaculture production capacity reached approximately 38 million tons. The average gross margin in this industry reached 46.57%.

Upstream suppliers provide key raw materials such as fishmeal, fish oil, plant proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and feed additives. Representative companies include Cargill (agricultural commodities and feed ingredients), Archer Daniels Midland (plant-based proteins and oils), and BASF (vitamins and feed additives). The quality and cost of raw materials directly affect feed conversion ratios and production efficiency. Midstream manufacturers focus on formulation optimization, extrusion processing, pellet stability, and nutritional research.
