Implication

Commercial evaluation reveals improved survival and feed efficiency in farmed Atlantic salmon, highlighting production benefits of elevated eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid diets.

Key Points

Diets enriched with eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid from algal oil substantially improve salmon health responses, fillet quality, and overall biological performance.
Mortality variability dropped by 21% and economic feed conversion ratio improved by 11% when farmed Atlantic salmon received feeds containing elevated docosahexaenoic acid.
Analysis across commercial farms and big data records shows that replacing vegetable oil with algal oil enhances biological performance, supporting sustainable aquaculture practices.
