The Aquaculture Podcast Show - Salmon Broodstock Nutrition Strategies | Ep. 25

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we unpack how shifting spawning seasons in Atlantic salmon impacts both broodstock and their offspring. We also explore how metabolic stress, nutrient allocation, and biochemical pathways influence egg quality and larval growth. Get insights into nutritional programming and its role in sustainable aquaculture productivity. Learn how broodstock nutrition strategies can optimize year-round production. Listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2022 article titled "Earlier or delayed seasonal broodstock spawning changes nutritional status and metabolic programming of growth for next-generation Atlantic salmon" by Skjærven, K., et al.
