A scientific seminar entitled “The Future of Aquaculture: Problems and Practical Solutions” was held at the Patrice Lumumba Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia in Moscow. The seminar was devoted to current issues of sustainable aquaculture development, environmental safety, prevention of fish diseases, and the search for alternative feed solutions.

Representatives of S. Seifullin Kazakh Agrotechnical Research University and NFT-KATU LLP took part in the seminar. As part of the event, a report entitled “Efficiency of Using Extruded Compound Feeds Enriched with Phytobiotics for Fish” was presented. The report was prepared within the framework of project AP23487951 “Development of Extruded Enriched Compound Feeds to Increase Fish Productivity with Assessment of Their Quality and Safety”.

The report considered scientific and practical approaches to the development of extruded feeds for aquaculture using natural phytobiotic components. Particular attention was paid to the prospects of using phytobiotics as a tool to improve fish productivity, strengthen their natural resistance, enhance product quality, and reduce dependence on antibiotics in aquaculture.

The seminar covered key challenges of modern aquaculture, including pollution of the aquatic environment, habitat degradation, the need to identify sustainable sources of feed raw materials, prevention of fish diseases, and implementation of environmentally responsible farming technologies. Practical solutions discussed included innovative land-based farming systems, integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, alternative feed components, natural additives for fish health, and the development of partnerships between science, production, and local communities.

Participation in the seminar made it possible to present the scientific developments of S. Seifullin KATRU and NFT-KATU LLP in the field of phytobiotic and extruded feeds for fish, as well as to strengthen scientific ties with colleagues from RUDN University and other organizations working in the fields of veterinary medicine, feed production, and sustainable aquaculture.
