To help them make the most of this significant opportunity, Skretting launched Cosmos, its new premium grower feed that is tailor-made for farmed barramundi. According to the company's statement; Cosmos has been carefully developed over the past three years, utilizing Skretting’s extensive knowledge of the specific nutritional requirements and digestive capabilities of the species.
