Kelp Farms And Marine Habitats Explained | Ep. 69

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we launch a special series exploring aquaculture research and innovation from Norway, sharing practical insights from one of the world's leading seafood-producing nations.  To begin the series, we examine whether suspended kelp farms function as artificial marine habitats or remain largely separated from surrounding food webs. Environmental DNA and traditional sampling reveal how production practices influence biodiversity, biofouling, crop quality, and cleaner fish opportunities. Follow our special Norway series for more research and industry insights, and listen now on all major platforms.

Rethinking Salmon Nutrition Requirements | Ep. 68

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore why traditional vitamin and trace mineral recommendations may no longer meet the needs of modern Atlantic salmon production. As farming systems, feed ingredients, and environmental challenges evolve, nutritional strategies must adapt to support health, welfare, and resilience. Key insights include mineral bioavailability, stress management, and nutrient requirements during critical production stages. Listen now on all major platforms!
