New findings from Nofima reinforce the importance of nutrient balance and synergy in achieving healthy, high-quality fish
Norwegian Institute of Food, Fisheries and Aquaculture Research (Nofima) scientists have uncovered surprising synergies in salmon feed – particularly between zinc and omega-3 fatty acids, and between cholesterol and saturated fats – that have major implications for fish health, growth and fillet quality. With the aquaculture industry under pressure to balance sustainability, fish welfare and product quality, these findings raise important questions about feed formulation and farming strategies.
