Webinar: EPA, Inflammation and Immunity in Salmon Nutrition

Join us for an in-depth exploration of the critical role of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in salmon health, welfare, and nutrition. This webinar brings together leading experts from research and industry to discuss the latest findings on EPA’s role in inflammation, immunity, and sustainable feed development — and what this means for the future of omega-3 sourcing for aquaculture.

The webinar is organized by the Institute of Marine Research as a deliverable of the Norwegian Research Council project EPA IMMUNE #327013.
