ROFFAREEFS

RoffaReefs aims to make a difference in breeding and feeding of marine fish. In close collaboration with the Rotterdam Zoo we made 100% aquacultured vegan fish feed. The first tests with prototypes of our solar panel fuelled breeding system are up and running... One example of our poor knowledge on nutritional diets for fish in public and private aquaria is the feeding of standard processed food to a wide variety of fish species. Usually, these nutritional diets contain high amounts of fish meal. The origin of this fish meal, as well as information on which fish species are processed to obtain the commercial nutritional product is in most cases completely unknown. Unfortunately, there is little to zero control in which fish species are processed, which could mean that we are feeding endangered species in our fish meal to the herbivorous fish we keep in our aquaria.
