The fungus is using the sugars in the paper pulp cooking liquid <strong>for</strong> growth. Initially the fungus was<br />
cultivated from the Indonesian food Tempe which is similar to t<strong>of</strong>u or camembert. The fungal<br />
biomass produced is rich in protein, fat, amino sugars, and vitamins which makes it suitable as a<br />
<strong>fish</strong> <strong>feed</strong> ingredient particularly as the amino acid composition is close to that <strong>of</strong> <strong>fish</strong> meal.<br />

11 Conclusion – future opportunities<br />
The project´s main objective was to gather in<strong>for</strong>mation about the status and development <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>production</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>fish</strong> <strong>feed</strong> <strong>for</strong> different species in the <strong>Nordic</strong> countries. New alternative possibilities <strong>for</strong><br />
local <strong>raw</strong> material <strong>production</strong> <strong>for</strong> aquaculture <strong>feed</strong> are identified and discussed. These must be<br />
environmentally benefical, economically viable and <strong>of</strong> good quality. The World Wildlife Fund<br />
(WWF) and Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) emphasize the importance <strong>of</strong> the development<br />
