> Norwegian salmon producers Lerøy Seafood and Grieg Seafood are adding poultry by-products such as bones and organs to fish feed. The move follows rising fishmeal costs, with poultry meal priced at less than half of conventional fishmeal. Nofima research on poultry-based feed continues until September 2027.

## Why it matters

Poultry meal substituting for fishmeal could reduce aquafeed demand for fishmeal and tighten the link between poultry by-product and fishmeal prices. The shift is a modest demand signal for fishmeal, with cost savings for Norwegian salmon farms.
