"Study Suggests Including Fish from Farmed Salmon's Diet in Our Own"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Medical Xpress
A study suggests that consuming wild fish, such as mackerel, anchovies, and herring, which are used in farmed salmon feeds, could provide essential nutrients like calcium, B12, and omega-3 that are lost when only eating salmon filets. Researchers found that farmed salmon production leads to a decrease in essential dietary nutrients, and promoting the consumption of wild feed species directly could benefit both human health and reduce the demand for finite marine resources in aquaculture. The study emphasizes the need for a greater variety of affordable and appealing products made from wild feed fish and salmon by-products for direct human consumption.
