Kompletna industrija akvakulture nalazi se pod povećanim pritiskom glede optimalizacije efikasne proizvodnje, dok se u isto vrijeme smanjuju mogućnosti iskorištavanja akvatorija. Ovi, novi zahtjevi koji su u nekim zemljama povezani s legislativom, potaknuli su razvoj niskih iskorištenosti hranidbenih formulacija. Nekoliko proizvođaća razvilo je hrane s modificiranom energijom: količina bjelančevina koja smanjuje nakupljanje P a okolišu s minimalnim utjecajem na rast riba. No, problemi koji se odnose na kvalitetu gotovoga proizvoda materijalirizirani su uporabom hrana s visokim postotkom lipida i jasno je da mora biti razvijena alternativna strategija, napose stoga što ostaje urgentna potreba za zamjenu skupog ribljeg brašna kao komponente u hrani za ribe. Jedna od mogućnosti mogla bi biti dodatak egzogenih enzima (egzoenzima) koji povećavaju vrijednost i iskorištenost nisko vrijednih bjelančevina. U ovom je radu dan kratak prikaz literaturnih podataka koji se odnose na eksperimentalne hrane s egzoenzimima, s posebnim osvrtom na fitazu. The global aquaculture industry has come under increasing pressure to optimize production efficiency while reducing environmental loadings. These new demands, which have been accompanied in certain countries by legislation, have stimulated the development of elite low output dietary formulations. Several feed manufacturers have developed diets with modified energy: protein ratios, which reduce environmental phosphorus loadings with minimum impact upon fish growth. However, problems relating to end product quality have materialized following application of these high lipid diets and it is clear that alternative strategies must be developed. In particular, there remains an urgent need to replace the expensive fishmeal component of aquafeeds. One approach might be to supplement diets with exogenous enzymes (exoenzymes) that enhance the value and utility of alternative, low grade proteins while reducing ecological impacts. This paper briefly reviews the literature relating to experimental exoenzyme aquafeeds, with specific reference to phytase.
