It defines the scope as covering all types of fish feed produced and packaged for feeding fish. Fish feed is described as a formulated product made from processed, semi-processed, or raw ingredients that are ground, mixed, conditioned or cooked, dried, and prepared in forms such as pellets, crumbs, or powder to meet the nutritional requirements of fish and enhance their growth, health, reproduction, and productivity. The standards require that fish feed must be clean, safe, and free from mold, pests, and contamination. It lists permissible raw materials such as cereals, oilseed cakes, fish meal, bone meal, plant-based ingredients, and mineral supplements. The presence of any extraneous organic or inorganic matter is prohibited. Nutritional supplements and feed additives may be used to improve or maintain quality; however, the use of antibiotics and urea in fish feed is strictly prohibited.
