Start of trial on Atlantic Salmon

By January 30, 2019News

The first of the small-scale feeding trials has just started with the juvenile Atlantic Salmon trial.

Juvenile Atlantic salmon have been chosen to assess the impact of Sylpro on growth shortly after first feeding of fish, when their growth rate is rapid and protein requirements high. At the start of the experiment all fish were individually weighed with all tanks starting with equal numbers of fish and biomass. At the end of the trial all individual fish will be weighed again to assess how growth performance varied across feed treatments.
