10:30 AM BREAK10:45 AM The Krill Problem & F3 Challenge (Recording here)
Several years ago, feed companies mentioned that replacement of fishmeal could be accelerated if an effective attractant were found. Currently, krill is added to aquaculture diets to increase feed consumption but krill is also a critical part of the marine food web. Dr. Rick Barrows, the Chief Scientific Officer, will describe the current challenge to find krill replacements.
