A new whitepaper has confirmed that increasing dietary levels of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA in salmon feed can deliver significant gains in fish health, production efficiency and final product quality

The study, conducted by independent research firm Manolin for Veramaris, analysed large-scale datasets from commercial Atlantic salmon farms to compare outcomes across varying feed compositions. Its findings point to measurable improvements when fish are fed above-average levels of EPA and DHA, defined as more than 9% of total fatty acids.
