Web Summary

Development of artificial diets for abalone, one of the highest valued seafood, is critical. Not only is there an increase in cultivation of abalone species due to a depletion of natural resources, but the use of natural feed resources (seaweeds) cause logistic problems during processing. The slow feeding behaviour of abalone species complicated determination of nutrient requirements and evaluation of feed ingredients for use in artificial diets. A combination of knowledge about nutritional principles and the unique rearing conditions of abalone is crucial in development of effective artificial diets. This article presents a review of nutritional physiology, feed development and feeding of abalone.
