The Aquaculture Podcast Show - Methionine & Metabolic Efficiency in Salmon | Ep. 56
Apr 13, 2026In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore how methionine shapes metabolism, liver health, and genetic regulation in Atlantic salmon fed plant-based diets. Traditional feed models are challenged as nutrition influences epigenetics and long-term performance. We uncover hidden metabolic bottlenecks and their impact on future generations. Listen now on all major platforms!
Inspired by the 2023 article titled "Methionine: an indispensable amino acid in cellular metabolism and health of Atlantic salmon" by Espe, Marit, et al.
What you'll learn:
- Methionine metabolic role
- Plant diet limitations
- Liver lipid transport
- Oxidative stress pathways
- Epigenetic programming effects
