Consumer education is necessary to correct misconceptions and promote acceptance of new insect and microalgae feed ingredients in salmon aquaculture, say Nofima researchers.
Scottish "Label Rouge" salmon can now be fed diets containing insect-derived ingredients during the juvenile stages, with Landcatch the first company using feed from Protix.
Netherlands-based company Veramaris has been granted first market authorization in Canada to include algal oil in feeds for salmonid species, after a three-year registration process.
Faster growth and increased omega-3 can be achieved through targeted breeding of microalgae, making it a promising ingredient for aquaculture feed, according to new research by Nofima.
