How can essential oils reduce sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) in salmon?

Benedict Standen explains how new feed-related products are set to give aquaculture a lift – from essential oils that cut sea lice attachment in salmon, to postbiotics that help shrimp fight white spot and other diseases.

Speaking to The Fish Site's Moritz Mueller, Standen highlights the industry's shift from cost reduction to health and welfare, and the economic rationale for preventive approaches. He also outlines the importance of diversifying feed ingredients – from by-products to single-cell proteins – and introduces Hy-D®, a new form of vitamin D3 that has boosted growth rates by over 10% in trials while improving wound healing and heart health.
