Lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) have recently been identified as a potential farmed fish in Ontario since they are native to the Great Lakes watershed, valued by several Indigenous groups, higher in omega-3 fatty acids than other fish and taste great! However, lake whitefish are mainly fed a trout diet. We aim to optimize their diet to improve their growth performance and diversify the species of fish farmed in Ontario.
