DESCRIPTION
Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing industries in food production. However, the future of this growth will depend largely on availability of raw materials and development of new nutrient sources from vegetable or animal origin.

Oneoftheessentialnutrientsforshrimpischolesterol.Drivenby the increasing scarcityofconventionalsourcesofcholesterol,Sonacrecently developed Phosterol. This hydro-lyzedproteinof animalorigin isproduced inaccordance with all relevant EU regulationsandisreadilyavailablefromrenewablenaturalsources. The uniqueness of Phosterol lies inthe natural combination of cholesterol andphospholipids. Trials on shrimp have showna strong synergy between cholesterol andphospholipids, the twomain components ofPhosterol.
Phosterol is a unique protein hydrolysatewithhighcontentofcholesterolandphosphol-ipids like phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidyl inositol. Cholesterolandphospholipidsareessentialbuildingblocksincellularmembranesandarepartofseveralbiological processes. Together with the highamountoffat,Phosterolisagoodingredientinaquafeeds,especiallyshrimpfeeds.Shrimpsrelyuponadietarysourceofcholesterol foroptimalmolting.
The origin of Phosterol is porcine tis-sue which has been collected in dedicatedEuropean slaughterhouses and after enzy-matichydrolysisfurtherprocessedtoabeigebrownishandheatstablepowder.
Gelko Powder is a new hydrolysedanimal-based product that contains highlydigestible proteins for fish and shrimp. Ithosts a combination of important aminoacids, making aqua feed attractive andpalatable. Naturally present nucleotides,
phospholipids and minerals increase itsnutritionalvalue.

overall, the observed growth was good, given the fact that shrimp were relatively small at the start of the experiment. once they reached 3-4 g, they grow above 2g/week.

Limitations of formulated feeds for live feed production
Formulatedfeedsoffer lowcostandcon-venience, but they have fundamental short-comings. Zooplankton, including rotifers andArtemia, can feedonlyonmicroparticlesofappropriatesize(frombacteriato10µmfor
Brachionus [Baer et al. 2008, Vadstein et al.1993],andfrombacteriato28µm,withtheoptimumabout8-16µmforArtemia [Makridisand Vadstein 1999, Fernández 2001]). It isdifficult to produce dry feeds that provideuniformparticlesizes,andevenwhenuniformdry particles can be produced they can be
subject to clumping when dispersed intowaterforfeeding.Butprobablythemostcriti-calshortcomingofdryfeedsisrapidleachingofwater-solublenutrients;thesmallerthepar-ticle,thefasternutrientsareleachedout.Notonly are leachednutrientsunavailable to thelivefeeds,theycancausefoulingofthewater.
