A viable alternative to live feeds would be feeding sea slugs with
inert microdiets. Significant efforts have been made in last years to
design specific artificial diets suitable for commercial aquatic species
such as fishes, crustaceans and bivalve molluscs (Luzardo-Alvarez
et al., 2010). Successful advances such as diet binders, agglutination
chemicals, inclusion of different enzymes and pre-hydrolyzed proteins
among others, are good examples for future research in sea slug
nutrition.
