ISSUE FOCUS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE August 2025 39 The measure of success in today’s aquaculture industry is no longer determined solely by growth, but also by the quality, resilience and sustainability of production. The increasing demand for seafood and the intensification of farming practices have exposed aquatic species to more complex challenges. From disease outbreaks and environmental stressors to the pressing need to reduce antibiotic use, producers are searching for smarter, safer and more sustainable solutions. At the heart of this transformation lies nutrition. Far beyond simply meeting supplying energy and protein requirements, nutrition has become a vital tool in managing health, boosting performance and balancing profitability with sustainability. In this context, functional feed additives—such as phytogenics, acidifiers, and endotoxin adsorbents—are proving to be pivotal.
