  Fish feed has traditionally been based on the marine ingredients fish oil and fish meal. Pressure on feral fish stocks and rapidly growing aquaculture has lead to the need for development of novel aquafeeds that rely less on fish meal and fish oil, with plant ingredients or alternative marine feed components as feed ingredient replacements. The present study investigates the muscle and liver deposition and elimination of the antibacterial agent oxolinic acid (OA) administered per os to post smolt Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in conventional and a novel substitution fish feed based on vegetable ingredients and krill meal. Atlantic salmon post smolt (start weight ~350 g) was reared for 2.5 months on either a conventional or a maximum substitution diet. Subsequently, the fish were fed on OA supplemented conventional or substitution diets supplemented with 5 OA g/kg, with a target d.. View More»
