<p>Food security is an increasingly
important global challenge. Population increases, coupled with changing food
habits, are placing significant demand on the global food supply. Without
significant advances in agricultural techniques and approaches, it will be
difficult to feed the global population within several decades. Aquaculture is
one underutilized agricultural method which could help alleviate this impending
crisis if more farmers were able to implement improved techniques. One of the primary
inputs for successful aquaculture is a nutritionally complete feed. However,
commercial fish feeds may be prohibitively expensive or unavailable in many locations
in the developing world, reducing the ability of farmers to implement
economically successful aquaculture ventures. Providing farmers with the
ability to produce their own high-nutrition feeds with locally available ingredients
would be a key enabler for more widespread successful aquaculture efforts. This
dissertation focuses on the development and evaluation of alternative, locally
sourced, inexpensive fish feeds to maximize fish production in developing
countries.</p>
