During the crucial first-feeding stage, the nutritional demands of Atlantic salmon are both complex and dynamic, requiring a carefully balanced dietary composition that supports rapid growth and long-term health. Conventional recommendations for fry feeds may not address the needs of contemporary, fast-growing salmon strains. As scientific understanding evolves, it has become clear that the composition and inclusion rates of different lipid classes play a vital role in shaping not only growth rates but also the robustness and stress resilience of the fish. This project is dedicated to refining the nutritional strategies for salmon fry by systematically investigating how various lipid classes affect outcomes at each developmental stage. By customizing the diet to the fish’s maturation process, we aim to unlock the genetic potential of modern salmon stocks, ensuring optimal physiological performance from the earliest life stages.
