In this article, the definition of sustainability is discussed, particularly in relation to the use of marine feed resources. The current review gives an overview of the development of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture and how it has evolved due to changes in legal and management framework conditions. Atlantic salmon production is characterized with high utilization of nutrients, a high yield of production, and a large demand for rendered by-products. All of these factors compare…

Sustainable farming of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus)
TLDR
This doctoral thesis explores various methods for improving the sustainability of Arctic charr farming, such as alternative protein sources in the feed, a shortened production cycle through selective breeding and an adaptive feeding management model.
Sudden increased mortality in large seemingly healthy farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) was associated with environmental and dietary changes
TLDR
The moribund fish had significantly higher lipid content in the liver, altered liver fatty acid composition, and increased levels of alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase in the blood plasma compared to non-dying fish.

Enhancing fish performance in aquaculture
TLDR
Significant advances in fish genetics, nutrition and feeding, culture systems, and management have cumulatively enhanced fish performance and increased overall global productivity.

Environmental Performance of Marine Net-Pen Aquaculture in the United States
ABSTRACTThe United States has a small net-pen salmon industry dating back over 40 years and a nascent net-pen industry for other marine fish. The United States net-pen aquaculture sector has improved…

Demonstration of salmon farming as a net producer of fish protein and oil
TLDR
The weight of salmonprotein and lipid produced through growth exceeded the weight of marine protein and lipid consumed by the fish meaning that salmon farming can be a net producer of fish protein and oil.

Feeding aquaculture in an era of finite resources
TLDR
Trends in fishmeal and fish oil use in industrial aquafeeds are reviewed, showing reduced inclusion rates but greater total use associated with increased aquaculture production and demand for fish high in long-chain omega-3 oils.
Resources for fish feed in future mariculture
TLDR
The main aim of this paper is to speculate on how feed supplies can be produced for an expanding aquaculture industry by and beyond 2050 and to establish a roadmap of the actions needed to achieve this.
Novel production of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) protein based on combined replacement of fish meal and fish oil with plant meal and vegetable oil blends
Tailoring of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) flesh lipid composition and sensory quality by replacing fish oil with a vegetable oil blend.
TLDR
By blending VOs to provide balanced levels of dietary fatty acids, up to 100% of the fish oil can be replaced by the VO blend without compromising growth or flesh quality, thereby providing a beneficial nutritional profile for human consumption.
