  • Title: Recent advances in single cell protein use as a feed ingredient in aquaculture.
    Author: Jones SW, Karpol A, Friedman S, Maru BT, Tracy BP.
    Journal: Curr Opin Biotechnol; 2020 Feb; 61():189-197. PubMed ID: 31991311.
    Abstract:
    The global demand for high-quality, protein-rich foods will continue to increase as the global population grows, along with income levels. Aquaculture is poised to help fulfill some of this demand, and is thus the fastest growing animal protein industry. A key challenge for it, though, is sourcing a sustainable, renewable protein ingredient. Single cell protein (SCP) products, protein meals based on microbial or algal biomass, have the potential to fulfill this need. Here, we review potential sources of SCP strains and their respective production processes, highlight recent advances on identification of new SCP strains and feedstocks, and, finally, review new feeding trial data on important aquaculture species, specifically Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, and whiteleg shrimp.
