In recent decades, the aquaculture industry has experienced significant growth worldwide, surpassing other food production sectors. This review aims to explore dynamics of aquafeed production, particularly shift from conventional local feed in Africa, driven by cost-effectiveness and availability raw materials. The examines various scientific publications on aquafeed, focusing both novel formulations their impact environment. Commonly used ingredients among African farmers include cassava, maize gluten, groundnut oilcake, sunflower soybean meal, kale, peas, garlic, shrimp wastes, waste blood. Novel such as insect-based diets micro-algae are also explored. Aquafeed composition impacts aqua-waste, water quality, algae, oxygen demand, fish mortality, eutrophication. findings highlight need reorient formulation methods achieve a circular economy promoting increased at minimal costs, creating employment while supporting climate adaptation mitigation efforts. Ultimately, sector potential grow sustainably through adoption alternatives that prioritise sustainable encourage beneficiation studies.
