Insects are a natural part of the diets of wild salmon when they are in rivers. Insects are also making their way into the diets of farmed salmon. When Nofima scientists wanted to test the species of insect called black soldier fly in salmon feed, it was therefore natural to measure the effects on salmon…
Do you want to reduce your consumption of red meat by eating more plant proteins? Scientists now want to develop nutritious hybrid products based on protein-rich plants with added fish and chicken byproducts, insect meal or seaweed and microalgae. The new prototype products will largely consist of legumes combined with protein and other nutrients from…
ATC partners Nofima and Norce have been contributing to the report from the NCE Seafood Innovation, called «Future Ingredients for Norwegian salmon feed».

The intestines of animals are teeming with bacteria, affecting how animals digest their food. Studying these microbes is therefore an interesting part of research when investigating the effects of feed on animals, also for farmed fish. However, recent research sheds new light on the value of these studies. It all started with scientists at the…
The ballan wrasse is the best lice eater, but in order to stay healthy and in good condition, it must be given a feed that meets its nutritional needs and also has a taste that it likes. We now have new knowledge about what is required to succeed. There are many challenges when producing ballan…
