Effects of replacing dietary fish oil and fish meal with microbial oil and algal biomass on lipid class, total fatty acid and phospholipid fatty acid composition of Atlantic salmon liver and muscle tissues
With the continuous growth of aquaculture comes a growing demand for an alternative lipid source for fish oil (FO) and fish meal (FM) in aquafeeds. Certain microorganisms provide a potential sustainable replacement for FO and FM due to their content of omega-3 (ω3) long-chain polyunsaturated fatty a...

With the continuous growth of aquaculture comes a growing demand for an alternative lipid source for fish oil (FO) and fish meal (FM) in aquafeeds.
