To meet the expanding needs of a growing global population, innovative technologies that can lead to production efficiencies, reduce stresses to wild fisheries and increase overall animal welfare are in high demand. Aquaculture's potential for growth is significant but only if done both environmentally & economically sustainably. Feed represents a significant portion of the operating expense for a given farm and is a critical component for an animal's health. By improving animal nutrition, we have the potential to lower disease while decreasing our use of antibiotics and ultimately provide great tasting product.

In this presentation, we will discuss a novel single cell protein platform technology, its versatility and recent findings that are expected to support producer operations worldwide. A first-of-its-kind development will be shared with the Aquaculture America audience. Our industry-leading technology is uniquely applied to tackle some of aquaculture's biggest problems. With the goal of reducing the need for fishmeal, lowering the cost of high-value biomolecules and lowering the rates of mortality on the farm to make operations more profitable, an update to the efficacy of this proprietary technology will be provided.
