Pellets for farmed salmon C018 / 0766
Feeding Scottish farmed salmon using pellets - Over a period of 20 years, salmon farmers have gradually substituted marine raw materials with vegetable raw materials, while sustaining the health benefits and quality of farmed salmon. This change in the dietary composition has reduced our dependency on forage fish considerably. Since 2004, volumes of farmed Atlantic salmon have increased significantly in parallel with a significant reduction in utilised volumes of fishmeal and fish oil. Salmon is an excellent vehicle for omega-3 (fatty acids), an important component of human nutrition. However, the amount of these healthy components in the fish is to a large degree mirrored by the level of fish oil in the feed. Fish oil is the main source of omega-3 in feed and, in the future, the level of fish oil substitution will mainly be determined by the market requirement for omega-3 in salmon

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the process of feeding Scottish farmed salmon using pellets. Over the course of two decades, salmon farmers have made a gradual shift from marine raw materials to vegetable raw materials in order to sustain the health benefits and quality of farmed salmon. This dietary transformation has significantly reduced our reliance on forage fish. Since 2004, there has been a remarkable increase in the volume of farmed Atlantic salmon alongside a substantial decrease in the utilization of fishmeal and fish oil. Salmon serves as an exceptional source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are vital components for human nutrition. However, the level of these beneficial elements in fish is closely linked to the amount of fish oil present in their feed. Fish oil remains the primary source of omega-3 in feed, but its substitution will largely depend on market demands for omega-3 content within salmon. Loch Torridon's highlands provide an ideal location for these pens where farmers diligently ensure that their farmed salmon receive optimal nourishment through carefully formulated pellets. This image not only showcases Scotland's thriving aquaculture industry but also highlights how sustainable practices can be implemented without compromising nutritional value or taste. By embracing alternative ingredients and reducing dependency on traditional resources, we pave the way towards a more environmentally conscious future while continuing to enjoy healthy and delicious seafood options like Scottish farmed salmon.
