Evaluation of high oil residue camelina meal (HORM) on Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) growth performance, carcass composition, intestinal morphology and inflammatory biomarker gene expression

Abstract

Farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is the most abundantly produced fish species in Norway, Scotland, Chile and Canada, and ranks 9th in aquaculture production globally (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2018). As a carnivorous species, salmon require a diet containing at least 400 g/kg protein, which traditionally was supplied by fish meal (FM). Hundreds of studies in the past two decades have investigated alternative protein sources to FM in salmon feeds, with meta-analyses comparing the results
