Video - Alternate Feed
Ingredients A balanced, nutritious diet for good health is just as
important for fish as it is for human beings. So what do you feed farmed
fish such as salmon, cod or halibut to ensure they are healthy and of high
quality? This
video, produced by AquaNet, illustrates the development of alternate
feeds to produce a diet that is less reliant on fish meal and fish oil
from wild pelagic fish species, like herring, and more reliant on
readily-available vegetable oils and protein. Additional information

in Canada? It is raised exclusively in British Columbia. Like its wild
counterpart, the flesh of farmed Chinook salmon is pink to red and has a
