Cargill said the Department of Agriculture deregulated its
proprietary canola for cultivation in the U.S.
The company said this will give aquaculture farmers access to a
sustainable, plant-based source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids
for aquafeed. Currently, aquafeed for farm-raised salmon contains
fish oil to help fish reach desired omega-3 fatty acid levels.
Cargill said that combining technology from BASF, it is able to
provide farmers access to Latitude, a plant-based alternative that
relieves harvesting pressure on wild fish populations.
