🌎🦐 As the world grapples with #food #sustainability, #cellbased seafood emerges as a promising yet under-the-radar #innovation. Unlike its meat counterpart, cultured fish has largely avoided regulatory backlash, possibly due to less entrenched industry opposition. We profile some of the innovative companies leading the charge in the new era of alternative #seafood. ⤵ 1️⃣ Forsea 📍 Israel, 2021 Product type: Freshwater eel Tech: Proprietary organoid technology that enables cells to autonomously differentiate and grow. This technology mimics nature’s tissue formation processes, resulting in cultured seafood products that closely resemble their wild counterparts in taste, texture and nutritional value. - 2️⃣ Wanda Fish 📍 Israel, 2021 Product type: Bluefin tuna toro sashimi Tech: Patent-pending technology induces native fat formation in bluefin tuna cells and its whole-cut downstream manufacturing process employs a rapid, low-cost and readily scalable production method. - 3️⃣ BlueNalu 📍 US, 2017 Product type: Bluefin tuna toro Tech: Fish cells sourced from desired species are multiplied in bioreactors with the addition of nutrients such as amino acids, salts, sugars, lipids and vitamins. The cells are then concentrated and formed into a saku block (a Japanese term for sashimi-quality seafood cut into blocks) using standard food industry processes. - 4️⃣ E-Fishient Protein 📍 Israel, 2020 Product type: Tilapia Tech: Myosatellite cells that can differentiate into muscle cells, creating fish products that contain essential amino acids and proteins for nutrition. E-FISHient Protein is a collaboration between alt-protein investor BioMeat and Israeli agricultural research centre the Volcani Institute. The company sources its tilapia cells from the Institute’s fish facility. - 5️⃣ Atlantic Fish Co 📍 US, 2022 Product type: Black sea bass Tech: Developed proprietary technology to cultivate fish cells that thrive in liquid suspension, focusing on high-performing cell lines of wild-caught species. Atlantic Fish Co uses genetic engineering technology to grow cells in bioreactors before providing them with nutrients for growth. - Investors and scientists alike see a potential market breakthrough by 2025, aiming to offer consumers a sustainable, ethical and healthier alternative to traditional seafood. 📝 Will this be the next big wave in food technology?
