The formulation concept aims to improve nutrient retention and feed efficiency while giving manufacturers greater flexibility in raw material selection.
The study found that much of the variation in feed efficiency between salmon families is genetic, making the traits suitable for selective breeding.
Reduced availability of marine ingredients could put further pressure on aquafeed supply and formulation as producers manage raw-material availability.
The facility, focused on hatchery and nursery stages, connects local production in China with global aquaculture nutrition expertise and market needs across APAC.

The collaboration will cover fish feed, fingerlings, fish by-products for livestock feed, organic farming, capacity building and commercialisation of research innovations.
The new subsidiary will invest in building an aquaculture feed production facility in Ecuador, formalising a project TFM first announced in February 2027.
The discussion focused on aquaculture, hatcheries, tuna fisheries, stock assessment and post-harvest technology.
The Yacouta project was stocked about six months before the first harvest and is part of a broader government strategy to increase domestic fish production.
Beyond training, the hubs also gave fish farmers access to quality fingerlings and direct connections to public and private sector aquaculture stakeholders.
