Research Commitment
To reach our quality aim AQUANUTRO has teamed up with the Aquaculture Division of the University of Stellenbosch, renowned for dynamic and extensive research and development. All research and development is aimed at satisfying the farmer's needs, now and in future. This takes many forms, from tailor-made feeds for a single client to development of new products as technology advances. AQUANUTRO has a practical insight into the day-to-day problems of aquaculturists. AQUANUTRO is a partner to its clients, not only as their supplier, but also through a higher degree of cost-effectiveness through research and advice about feed types and correct use.

AQUANUTRO and the Aquaculture Division of the University of Stellenbosch have developed a unique concept in fish nutrition. Our challenge now is to expand our position at the cutting-edge of aquafeed technology, to continually improve diets and ensure that the aquaculturist is kept up-to-date with new developments

Motivation
Since feed is a major operating expense in aquaculture and fish keeping, safe, high-quality products, acceptable to consumers, compatible with the environment and lucrative for aquaculturists are important.

An analysis of the aquaculture industry in Southern Africa by the University of Stellenbosch has indicated that limitations with regard to nutrition is one of the major factors that are contributing to a lack of efficiency, sustainability and profitability of aquaculture ventures in the region. The general problems and shortcomings associated with the poor status of aquaculture feeds and nutrition was acknowledged, and improvement in this area was identified as an immediate priority.

Since Aquanutro's establishment an important effort was made to develop cost-effective diets and to implement effective feed management strategies and consequently reduce production costs was launched.

AQUANUTRO’S research and development effort constantly seeks more precise knowledge with regard to:

Identification and definition of the feed resources;
Determination of nutrient requirements for optimum growth of the respective species;
Utilization of efficient and economic feeding systems; and
Environmental impact
