1. To establish baseline data on chemical and physical characteristics of commercial feeds used by the Tasmanian Atlantic salmon industry
2. To establish baseline data on carcass composition of locally farmed Atlantic salmon
3. To determine the digestibility of current and potential feed ingredients for Tasmanian Atlantic salmon
