WrasseFEED aims to develop a new range of aquafeeds for improved performance, stress- and disease resistance of Ballan wrasse, including a weaning microdiet, a nursery microdiet, an on-growing feed and also a functional feed (immune and antioxidant effects) to prepare fish for expected periods of stress and reduce susceptibility to disease. These feeds will ultimately contribute to reduce production costs of Ballan wrasse juveniles to be deployed in salmon cages.
