Abstract
Fish is an important dietary animal protein in Taiwan. Fish production has increased from 20 000 tonnes (t) in 1938 to over 300 000 t today. The chang e in feed inputs from trash fish to formulated feeds enabled industrial pro duction of fish food. Nutrition studies for shrimp began in the 1970s and c ontinue today. Stable ascorbic acid derivatives have allowed industrial pro duction of shrimp feeds and the development of the extensive production sys tems in Taiwan and elsewhere in Asia.
