The Aquaculture Podcast Show - Salmon Gut Microorganisms and Biotechnological Potential | Ep. 80

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore how native Atlantic salmon gut microorganisms could improve plant-based feed digestibility. We examine carbohydrate breakdown, raffinose utilization, nutrient synthesis, antimicrobial functions, and safety considerations. By using host-derived microorganisms or their enzymes, aquaculture producers could improve nutrient assimilation and expand feed ingredient options. Listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2026 article titled "Genotypic characterization of gut isolates from Atlantic salmon fry reveals beneficial microbes with biotechnological potential" by Dave Rojas Calderón, Ronja Marlonsdotter Sandholm, Thea Samskott, Mia Tiller Mjøs, Eirik Degré Lorentsen, Åsmund Kjendseth Røhr, Ingrid Bakke, and Sabina Leanti La Rosa
