Boosting young fish for later growth
An upcoming area for research for the Danish fish feed company, BioMar, is feed for larval fish and hatchery feed.
However, the fish feed company isn’t the only one to look to support juvenile fish. That’s the area of focus for the Irish biotech company, MicroSynbiotiX, as they work to refine their edible vaccine system.
