In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore how predictive molecular diagnostics and targeted clinical nutrition helped mitigate a severe viral outbreak in farmed Atlantic salmon in northern Norway. By tracking early viral signals and immune markers, production teams deployed a specialized marine-based diet at the precise moment needed. Results showed controlled inflammation, low mortality, and preserved growth performance. Listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2023 article titled "In-depth health surveillance and clinical nutrition in farmed Atlantic salmon: A strategic attempt to detect and mitigate an HSMI outbreak" by Rennemo, Johan, et al.
