# A unique facility in Nebraska begins production of omega-3 fatty acids for sustainable salmon farming - Aquaculture Magazine

The fermentation process yields EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids for salmon feed without using wild-caught fish oil. The initial output can supply about 15 percent of global salmon-farming demand for these fatty acids.
