WorldFish feed experiments to increase nutritional value of tilapia

CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish

WorldFish scientists will begin to experiment with feed ingredients that can increase the nutritional value of tilapia as part of a new project.

AquaLINC, funded with the financial support of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, Germany, aims to increase supplies of fish that are more affordable and have a higher nutritional content for consumers in Egypt and Bangladesh. Implemented by WorldFish, the project will focus on developing production models for tilapia that meet the demands of resource poor consumers and are profitable for producers and retailers.
