(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Disease and parasitism cause major welfare, environmental and economic concerns for global aquaculture. In this review, we examine the status and potential of technologies that exploit genetic variation in host resistance ...
    • Increasing dietary levels of the omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, EPA and DHA, improves the growth, welfare, robustness, and fillet quality of Atlantic salmon in sea cages

      The present study evaluated the effects of increasing the dietary levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) reared in sea cages, in terms of growth performance, ...
    • Omega-3 canola oil effectively replaces fish oil as a new safe dietary source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in feed for juvenile Atlantic salmon
