Screening of currently used Norwegian salmon plant-based feeds as well as novel insect feed ingredients showed the presence new mycotoxins such as beauvericin (BEA) and enniatins (ENN). In contrary to more studied mycotoxins, these new emerging compounds are fat soluble and are recently been reported to be present in farmed marine fish. At present, there is knowledge gap on the implication of these emerging mycotoxins on salmon health and welfare, or their potential transfer from feed to fillet. No upper limits are set for these mycotoxins in animal feeds. From in vitro and mammalian and poultry studies it is know that emerging mycotoxins has a potential for generating oxidative stress, osteotoxicity, immunotoxicity and can interfere with cholesterol and vitamin A metabolism. The current proposal aims to investigating the impact of new feed contaminants (emerging mycotoxins) on vitamin requirement, as well as lipid metabolism, growth, health and immune-responses in Atlantic salmon. In addition to these targeted endpoints, system biology approaches applying the salmon genome will be used to gain fundamental knowledge on the interaction between mycotoxins and nutrients. We will use both state of the art salmon in vitro assays and conduct a feeding experiment in order to investigate the tolerance of Atlantic salmon for newly identified fat soluble mycotoxins in novel sustainable feeds.
