Dr. Cheng-Sheng Lee is Executive Director for the Center for Tropical and Subtropical Aquaculture, one of the regional aquaculture centers under CSREES at the USDA from 1997. Dr. Lee received his BS degree in Fishery Biology in 1970 and his MS degree in Marine Biology in 1972 from National Taiwan University. He received his PhD in aquaculture in 1979. Upon his graduation, Dr. Lee immediately joined the Oceanic Institute and has been working in Hawaii since 1979He has authored or co-authored more than 100 publications in refereed journals or books, and has been in charge of several international projects to develop and transfer culture technology to needed developing countries. Dr. Lee has frequently organized international conferences and currently is conducting two international workshops annually. He has also served as a technical editor for 14 books.

A unique resource that describes the ingredients included in an aquaculture diet, species profiles, processing methods, impacts to environment and industry, and more! Aquaculture is and will remain a major food producing sector in the future. To become more efficient and successful in the aquaculture industry, operations need to provide good nutrition. Alternative Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets is a unique source describing the ingredients included in fish and crustacean diets, their nutrient compositions, species profiles, suitability for species, processing methods, and impacts of alternative ingredients on the environment and to the aquaculture industry.

World-renowned nutritionists and feed technologists explore practical ways for the aquaculture industry to expand and remain competitive, and discuss ways to develop less expensive alternative sources or protein. Diet costs take up a huge chunk of operating expenditures, with fish meal being one of the most expensive ingredients in the aquaculture diet. Alternative Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets provides detailed knowledge on the use of alternative plant and animal protein sources, offering opportunities to either partially or completely replace fish meal. This comprehensive, up-to-date text discusses the most widely used ingredients as well as various previously under-utilized ingredients which could be of significant potential in the future. The book is extensively referenced and includes numerous helpful tables to clearly present data.

Topics discussed in Alternative Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets (for finfish and crustacean species) include: • farmed fish diet requirements • reduction of waste through diet formulation • poultry by-product meal • meat packing by-products • soybean protein foodstuffs • cottonseed meal • lupins • unconventional plant protein supplements • and much, much more! Alternative Protein Sources in Aquaculture Diets is an essential resource for aquaculturists, nutritionists, feed formulators, feed mill operators, extension specialists, fish farmers and producers, ingredient suppliers, and policymakers.
