Scientists at UC Santa Cruz developed new aquaculture feed formulations for farmed rainbow trout.

They replaced traditional fishmeal ingredients with marine microalgae, a marine microalgal species called "Nannochloropsis sp. QH25" Researchers tested their feeds and found that they could fully replace fishmeal with the microalgai while maintaining the same levels of fish growth, nutritional value for humans.

University of California - Santa Cruz researchers have found a new fish-free feed for trout.

The team added taurine and lecithin to their feed as flavor and smell enhancers, and they used new processing techniques.

They hope this could improve the nutritional value of the resulting fish, lower the carbon footprint of their feeds.
