    Higher microingredients levels improve performance during salmon smoltification

> Researchers from Skretting and the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research found that salmon fed higher levels of B vitamins and methionine than current recommendations grew better in seawater after smoltification. The six-week trial also showed less liver fat and lower mortality in the higher-nutrient groups.
