The Aquaculture Podcast Show - Transgenic Oils in Salmon Feed | Ep. 58

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore how transgenic camelina oil can replace marine ingredients while maintaining salmon performance and improving omega-3 levels. We examine growth results, feed intake challenges, and metabolic responses under commercial conditions. We also consider how agriculture can support aquaculture at scale. Listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2024 article titled “Inclusion of oil from transgenic Camelina sativa in feed effectively supplies EPA and DHA to Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) grown to market size in seawater pens” by Tocher, Douglas R., et al. Click here to read the full research article!
