The use of palm oil in aquaculture feeds for salmonid species
Abstract In this overview, our current knowledge and research being conducted on the use of palm oil in the commercial feeds for cold‐water salmonid species such as Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout will be highlighted. Salmonid diets have a high lipid content to provide a source of easily available...
