With consumption of seafood expected to increase in the next decade, soy-based feeds are an alternative to a flat supply of fish meal currently being used as a protein source in fish diets. The U.S. soybean industry has already been at the forefront of developing new aquaculture feed sources, and Soy Aquaculture Alliance (SAA) is focused on meeting the demand.
Through affiliations with the United Soybean Board (USB) and multiple state soybean checkoff organizations, SAA will work to fund programs and research that increases the utilization of U.S. soybeans in the diets of fish and shrimp.
The Soy Aquaculture Alliance is committed to building partnerships for abundant, healthy, homegrown seafood by connecting industry stakeholders and supporting practical industry research. SAA is governed by a volunteer board representing U.S. soybean farmers and the aquaculture industry. Membership is open to Qualified State Soybean Boards and public and private entities in the soy, aquaculture and seafood industries.
