Listen: Prairie crops could provide the protein needed for fish food

A University of Saskatchewan (USask) research team is partnering with industry groups to establish a “globally unique” facility on campus to develop and test plant-and-insect-derived proteins to replace fishmeal.

Alice McFarlane with Ag Access talks to USask professor Dr. Lynn Weber about the study using Saskatchewan-grown products like peas and fababeans.

Alice McFarlane is the Agriculture Information Director for Pattison Media in Saskatchewan.

Tune in to Ag Access weekdays during the noon hour on 105 CJVR.
