Aquaculture plays a pivotal role in addressing the increasing global demand for seafood. In this presentation, we delve into the implementation of Engeenuity’s Biophotonic Technology within the aquaculture processing sector, emphasizing its transformative impact on processing methodologies and economics. Biophotonics is the science that studies and harnesses light and its energy to modify biological processes, offering a unique approach to enhance the overall efficiency and quality of aquaculture production.

The application of Engeenuity’s Biophotonic Technology in aquaculture processing presents numerous advantages. Foremost, it substantially reduces the reliance on chlorine and other chemical additives by ~50%, promoting environmentally sustainable and eco-friendly practices. By incorporating biophotonic technology into water treatment, the surface tension decreases, enabling deep cellular hydration. This optimization results in diminished waste and improved yield during processing, facilitating a reduction in supplementary product packing to achieve the net weight requirements at the destination.

Certified as achieving a bacteriostatic mechanism of action, Engeenuity’s Biophotonic Technology aids in preserving the quality of aquaculture products for extended periods. Consequently, shelf life experiences an increase of +30%, providing a considerable economic advantage for producers and suppliers, naturally.

Furthermore, the diminished use of chemicals in the production process amplifies nutrient availability and absorption capacity, yielding a healthier and more nutritious product for consumers. The integration of Engeenuity’s Biophotonic Technology not only advocates for sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in aquaculture but also ensures superior quality products for the market.

In summary, Engeenuity’s Biophotonic Technology holds the potential to revolutionize the aquaculture processing industry by offering economic benefits and fostering more sustainable practices. Our presentation at the Latin American & Caribbean Aquaculture 2023 conference aims to provide valuable insights into the advantages of adopting this trailblazing technology within the aquaculture sector.
