Summary

We have conducted a six month pilot study to determine the effects of added copper and minerals on the development of black blood vessel in farmed cod. Cod introduced to the trial immediately post weaning were placed on one of four experimental diets. Fish were sampled after two months and every subsequent month. Up to the end of November our results show that both added copper alone and added mineral mix strongly influence the development of black blood vessel in farmed cod.
