Frequently asked questions
What EPA+DHA level should I specify?
Salmon feed typically requires 18–24% EPA+DHA in the oil fraction. Request certificate of analysis with each lot.
Are algal DHA oils a viable substitute?
Yes for the DHA fraction — Veramaris, DHAgold and others are used in commercial salmon feed. EPA still primarily marine-sourced.
How is fish oil transported?
Flexitank (24 t), ISO tank (25 t) or parcel tanker for large lots. FeedMatch Group RFQs include logistics options.
