Aquaculture

Aquaculture will play a growing role in feeding the world.

 

Since overtaking wild-caught fish in 2014 aquaculture has continued its path to being a major food protein source. Achieving this growth in a sustainable way is a key challenge of the industry.

Natural solutions such as Polygain have an important role in supporting the performance of finfish and shrimp.

Support with key challenges

  • Support Against Pathogens

    Polygain can help support aquaculture species against challenges from pathogens. For some pathogens, the action has been shown to be more specific. In one example Poygain was able to inhibit the extrusion of spores of the EHP parasite in shrimp.

  • Improved Performance

    With less energy being diverted to fighting inflammation Polygain can support additional growth in multiple species.

  • Shimp Resiliance

    Robustness

    Polygain assists aquaculture species via its antioxidant and immunomodulation properties. This general support results in additional biomass.
