Parasite management important to future cod aquaculture in Scotland
Parasite management is crucial for cod farming in Scotland. The main threat comes from parasites with direct or single-host life cycles.
Despite research challenges, ongoing work on phytase supplementation in shrimp is striving to enhance shrimp feed performance in similar ways.
