Mycotoxins in plant meals: A risk for farmed fish

The tendency and the economical need to replace expensive animal-derived proteins, such as fish meal, with less expensive plant proteins sources, have increased the impact of mycotoxin contamination in aquaculture feeds. Research characterising the adverse effects of mycotoxins on the performance and health of animals has in large part focused on terrestrial livestock species. However, in recent years, research has been carried out on the effects of mycotoxins in aquaculture species. This becam
