AquaIMPACT and NewTechAqua initiate co-operation on the genetic improvement of feed efficiency in Atlantic salmon
To assess the potential to increase feed efficiency in Atlantic salmon by genomics and selective breeding, activities are merged from the two Horizon 2020 EU-projects AquaIMPACT and NewTechAqua and an internal Nofima project. This work is done in collaboration between the Atlantic salmon breeding company MOWI Genetics and the research institute Nofima. Why is feed efficiency a key trait for sustainability? Fish that are feed efficient require less feed to reach market size, and …
