Health & Welfare
In these early stages of understanding how microbiome changes impact animal health, use caution in interpreting lab results and how they may apply to the real world.
Aquafeeds
Biotechnology firm NovoNutrients aims to produce a line of nutraceutical aquafeed additives as well as a bulk feed ingredient that can supplement fishmeal. Its process includes feeding carbon dioxide from industrial gas to a “microbial consortium” starring hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria.
Innovation & Investment
A unique joint venture is bringing a land-based recirculating aquaculture system to a farming community near Lake Erie. It’s a wastewater treatment program that aims to provide a sustainable food source for the local community.
Responsibility
Microbes facilitate high-intensity recirculating aquaculture systems. Research indicates that the microbial community changes throughout grow-out.
