The SAXOmics project focuses on improving the retention and absorption of astaxanthin, a vital pigment for farmed Atlantic salmon, by studying its metabolism. The project aims to enhance salmon health and quality through innovative feed formulations and interdisciplinary research.
Astaxanthin (Ax) is crucial for achieving the pink-red hue in farmed Atlantic salmon, a key quality factor at sale.
Since salmon cannot produce Ax naturally, it is added to their feed.
Beyond pigmentation, Ax's antioxidant properties may boost salmon growth and health.
However, farming challenges have led to a decline in muscle Ax levels, possibly due to rapid growth, welfare challenges, and low retention rates.
Despite Ax's high cost and its importance in fish feed, retention in salmon remains…
