A company turning industrial emissions into novel protein sources for fish feed has been given €2.5 million to scale up the production process.

KnipBio has announced that fish fed a diet containing 5% of the company’s KnipBio Meal single cell protein (SCP) have significantly lower levels of geosmin and methylisoborneol (MIB), the compounds responsible for giving fish grown in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) an earthy or musty flavour.
