F3 Research
The F3 Team conducts contract research on fishmeal- and fish oil-free aquaculture, to determine which formulas can enable F3 feeds for the most popular aquacultured species. The list of our projects can be found below.
Information on nutrient digestibility can be found in this copy of the USDA Agricultural Research Services Digestibility Database.
