Feeding on a Great Idea

Roughly two-thirds of the world’s major fish stocks are currently fished at or above capacity, with another ten percent over-harvested to the point where populations will require years to recover. Given that wild fisheries are unable to keep up with the growing global demand, half of all seafood consumed around the world is now farmed. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the world will face a seafood shortage of 50-80 million tons by 2030 without aquaculture. This paradigm shift has created a significant demand for sustainable aquaculture feedstuffs and allied health supplements, ultimately the largest operating costs of production aquaculture operation.

Prairie AquaTech specializes in new approaches to aquaculture feeds and health supplements and has developed a process that will replace more expensive natural resources that are currently used in the aquaculture feeds market. Operating in a state-of-the-art aquaculture research facility, our research team is optimizing feed and health supplement formulations and conducting feeding trials to produce fish meal replacers that are a lower cost alternative, blend-ready to meet species nutrient requirements and provide immune enhancing characteristics. Prairie AquaTech is focused on developing, validating, and deploying new technologies to advance high-protein, easily digestible feed ingredients and final feed and health products.
