Full substitution of fish oil with camelina (Camelina sativa) oil, with partial substitution of fish meal with camelina meal, in diets for farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and its effect on tissue lipids and sensory quality. – S.M. Hixson, C.C. Parris

Summary: Camelina oil (CO) and meal (CM) are potential replacements of fish meal (FM) and oil in aquaculture feeds. This study tested diets with 100% Camelina oil, solvent extracted FM and partially substituted FM with 10% CM, in a 16 week feeding trial with Atlantic salmon. This was the first study to use CO as a complete FO replacement in diets for farmed Atlantic salmon. Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24679751
