Salmon feed in innovation award final

The finalists include Ocean Harvest, a company that has created a range of patented seaweed-based formulas centred on the bioactive ingredients present in different seaweeds. These ingredients allow its feeds to replace many of the synthetic components currently found in many agricultural and aquacultural feed ingredients with significant benefits for the fish and consumers.

Oceanfeed Salmon is a patented feed additive formulated from seaweed which improves the health of farmed salmon, can help repel sea lice and improves taste and texture profile of the fish but more importantly can raise omega-3 fatty acid levels by up to 30 per cent in the fish.

This not only improves the health of the fish, but ultimately produces a superior end product, with health benefits for the consumer.
