Is there any influence in performance when fish are fed with short-term stored feeds?

Salmon farming success and high revenue, has been achieved through the development of breeding programs, disease control strategies, technology and to a greater extent to the optimization of the salmon feeds. The level of optimization and control of all nutritional and physical factors of salmon feed to secure optimal performance, is quite high, but there are still subtle factors that could have potentially been overseen, especially those related with operational procedures at the different factories. Hence, more research is needed to assess whether those factors could compromise salmon performance at all. In this project, we will evaluate the effect of short term storage of commercial feeds on feed intake and performance of salmon being especially focus on oxidation status of the feeds.
