Atlantic Salmon (freshwater phase)

All feed formulas developed by Aller Aqua at the Aller Aqua Research Centre follow these requirements to ensure proper growth and health:

• High-Protein Diet: In the freshwater phase, Atlantic salmon require a diet with 45-55% protein, primarily from fish meal, plant proteins, and insect-based sources.

• Moderate Fat Content: A fat content of 15-25% provides essential energy and omega-3 fatty acids.

• Nutrient-Dense Pellets: Formulated feed includes vitamins (A, C, D, E, B-complex) and minerals (calcium, phosphorus, selenium) to support immune function and bone growth.

• Feeding Adjustments:

Fry & parr: Fed small, high-protein pellets.

Smolt: Gradually transitioned to a diet preparing them for saltwater adaptation.

The range of solutions developed by Aller Aqua is suitable for each stage of the fish lifecycle as well as the following farming methods:

• Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS): Used for hatcheries and smolt production, allowing year-round farming with optimized water quality.

• Flow-Through Systems: Provides a continuous flow of fresh water, commonly used in land-based hatcheries.

• Pond Farming: Less common but sometimes used for early salmon rearing before transfer to saltwater farms.

• Raceway Systems: Long, shallow channels with flowing water help train smolts for migration and improve water oxygenation.

• High in Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Supports heart health, brain function, and reduces inflammation.

• Excellent Source of Protein: Lean, high-quality protein supports muscle growth and overall health.

• Mild, Versatile Flavor: Salmon is popular in various culinary styles, including grilling, baking, and smoking.

• Sustainably Farmed: With responsible practices, farmed salmon reduces pressure on wild stocks.

• Low in Contaminants: Farmed salmon in controlled systems has lower exposure to pollutants compared to some wild-caught fish.
