SLU leads the way in developing future fish feed
Farmed rainbow trout of the future is now available on the market. The fish has been fed a new feed where traditional ingredients like soy and fishmeal have been replaced by mussels, insects and fungal protein. The initiative is led by SLU, Axfoundation and 25 other partners.
