In order for farmed marine fish to have amounts of EPA and DHA comparable to those of wild-caught fish, their feed must be supplemented with EPA and DHA, most commonly in the form of fish oil. For this reason, 81% of the global fish oil supply in 2009 was consumed by aquaculture. By 2019, two alternative sources of EPA and DHA for fish have been partially commercialized: genetically-modified canola oil and Schizochytrium algal oil.
