Prof. XIE Shouqi, principal investigator of the Research Group of Fish Physiological Ecology, IHB, gave an oral presentation at the XV International Symposium on Fish Nutrition and Feeding.

The XV International Symposium on Fish Nutrition and Feeding, entitled “Feeding our food”, was held in Molde, Norway during June 4 and 7. Four researchers from the Research Group of Fish Physiological Ecology, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IHB) attended the symposium.  

Nine sessions were featured in the symposium, including feed resources, broodstock nutrition, nutrition requirements and metabolism, food quality and safety, health, feed technology and regime etc. About 450 representatives from over 30 countries were present at the symposium. In total, 342 papers were submitted to the organizing committee of the symposium, including 82 oral presentations and 260 posters.  

At the “Feed Resources-Protein” session, Prof. XIE Shouqi, principal investigator of the Research Group of Fish Physiological Ecology, IHB, gave an oral presentation entitled “Responses to fishmeal and soybean meal based diets by carnivorous, omnivorous and herbivorous fishes: growth, feed utilization, digestive enzyme activities and gene expression”. He later co-chaired the “Nutrient Requirements-Amino Acids” with Dr. Ann-Cecilie Hansen.  

The International Symposium on Fish Nutrition and Feeding is held every other year in various locations throughout the world andis where all the world's researchers in fish nutrition meet to present and review the very latest research results.
