Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility, and Retention in Atlantic Salmon, Salmo salar L., Fed Diets with Fermented Sugar Kelp, Saccharina latissima.

ABSTRACT: Using low trophic marine resources such as sugar kelp (Saccharina latissimi) is of great interest to increase the circular food production in the ocean. Sugar kelp does, however, contain high levels of carbohydrates and iodine and does not have considerable levels of protein and lipids, which may make it less suitable as a feeding ingredient. A 10-week feeding trial was done to investigate the effect of graded dietary inclusion levels of fermented sugar kelp (FSK), on growth performance, digestibility, retention of nutrients, and mineral composition in postsmolt Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.). The experimental diets were made to simulate a standard grower feed for salmon postsmolts in SW with ∼63% plant-based ingredients vs ∼34% marine ingredients and increasing concentrati
