摘要：A series of projects were undertaken to both develop the potential of lupins as a feed grain for
the aquaculture sector, and to also facilitate the adoption of this grain by this feed sector. The
outcome of these activities has been the creation of a new, higher-value market for lupins based
on a local, value-adding industry and to also reduce resource risk for the aquaculture industry
by reducing their reliance on fish meal as a protein source. However, because of the broad-base
approach of this project there have been numerous issues identified that need further addressing
on one format or other. These issues can loosely be defined as being pertinent to grain sector
issues or aquaculture sector issues.
The grain-sector issues include the need to introduce a grain segregation system to maximize the
value of higher-protein crops and also improve returns to producers. This process can be better
encouraged by the release of high-yielding, high-protein lupin varieties, including development
of better agronomic packages for L. luteus and L. mutabilis. There are also opportunities for
grain varieties other than lupins in the aquaculture feeds sector, though all grains require some
degree of value-adding to be competitive raw materials in this market. Pursuit of new, novel
processing technologies and refinement of processing techniques to isolate specific functional
and nutraceutical products from grains are an area that warrants some attention. Establishment of
new markets for grain products will require considerable extension but represents a worthwhile
investment area to improve market penetration of grains in to aquaculture feeds.
