Abstract

The aim of this review is to provide an assessment of mycotoxin contamination in fish feed. Focusing on major mycotoxins including aflatoxins, fumonisins, ochratoxins, trichothecenes, and zearalenone, the paper explores their diverse impacts on fish health, from growth inhibition to immunosuppression. It meticulously examines the sources of mycotoxin contamination in fish feed, addressing raw ingredients, storage conditions, and feed manufacturing processes. The review emphasizes the critical role of adherence to Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in preventing mycotoxin risks. Additionally, the paper elucidates mitigation strategies, encompassing the use of mycotoxin-binding feed additives, feed formulation optimization, and technological advancements for early detection. This comprehensive overview serves as a valuable resource for aquaculture practitioners, researchers, and policymakers aiming to enhance the safety and sustainability of fish production amidst mycotoxin challenges.
