Bridging marine to medicine

Revolutionizing fish farming with innovative science — bridging marine biology and medicine to create sustainable global protein sources.

The opportunities and challenges of fish farming

Fish farming holds immense potential as a sustainable global protein source, offering a way to meet rising food demands while reducing pressure on wild fish stocks. However, to fully realize this potential, the industry must overcome significant challenges that threaten its environmental and operational sustainability.

Every year between 40-300k farmed fish escape and only a small portion are recovered

The fish escape

Every year 40,000 to 300,000 farmed fish escape due to weather, damage or other factors.

They mix with wild fish

Escaped farmed fish mix with the populations, introducing genetic traits unwanted in the wild.

Distortion of wild population

Wild fish populations suffer genetic skew, reduced resilience, and ecosystem disruption.

As such fish farming faces ecological challenges that threaten its potential to become a reliable and sustainable protein source.

How we aim to solve this

We develop reproductively sterile farmed fish to prevent them from breeding if they escape into the wild. This protects native species from genetic dilution, disease, and resource competition. It also streamlines farming by removing breeding concerns, boosting efficiency and yield. Our solution supports a healthier, more sustainable aquaculture industry—one that protects ecosystems while meeting global seafood demand.
