Various measures have led to the extent of the deformity problems in the industry being gradually reduced, but the problem is still present, albeit at a lower level than a few years ago. At the same time, it has been questioned whether available knowledge in the field of mineral nutrition is sufficient to prevent such problems well enough, especially with regard to increased differentiation of raw material choices and increasing elements of vegetables.
Through several major national and international projects over the past decade, Norwegian professional communities have built up high scientific competence and published a number of scientific articles within the development of bone deformity in farmed fish. Part of this knowledge deals with the connection between skeletal development and the farmed fish's need for minerals and trace elements. Internationally, this research topic has not been given a correspondingly high priority, but there are also interesting international studies.
It is desirable to gather and evaluate this knowledge, with a view to reflecting the current knowledge front within the subject area, and to provide direction for further research needs within the topic.
Goals:
To conduct a critical scientific evaluation of previous research on the effect of different mineral levels on the development of deformities.
Sub-goals
To provide an overview of available knowledge about mineral needs in different stages of life.
To investigate known relationships between impaired mineralization of bones and skeletal deformities.
3. To assess critical conditions regarding mineral supply from relevant feed materials and additives.
4. To identify knowledge gaps with a view to future research activity.
