In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore how omega- 3 and omega-6 fatty acids from plant oils influence immune responses in Atlantic salmon. Learn how feed formulation can shape inflammation, antiviral defenses, membrane function, and disease resilience while supporting sustainable aquaculture production. Discover why nutritional strategies are becoming powerful tools for improving fish health and long-term industry performance. Listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2024 article titled "Vegetable omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids differentially modulate the antiviral and antibacterial immune responses of Atlantic salmon" by Caballero-Solares, Albert, et al.
