Why is it important?
This paper explores using metabolomics, a method to study small molecules in salmon farming. It helps researchers understand fish health and improve aquaculture. The unique approach enhances knowledge, paving the way for better fish farming practices.
Perspectives
As a fish health scientist, I must emphasise the importance of metabolomics in understanding several facets of aquaculture . By analyzing fish metabolism, we can for example improve aquaculture husbandry practices, nutrition, and health and contribute towards sustainability. This survey highlights current perspective, research gaps and improvements, that may be adapted to other farmed fish species.
