We believe that aquaculture represents the sustainable future of food and is the key to feeding the world in 2050 and beyond. By reducing disease mortality and increasing yields, our products will improve farm economics and help to secure the viability of the aquaculture industry. How? VakSea has developed an innovative system that uses insect larvae to affordably produce specialty, immune-boosting proteins that can be delivered orally and have been shown to reduce disease-related losses in both fish and shrimp. VakSea is creating a range of protein-based products to reduce mortality caused by diseases in aquaculture and to increase yields. Our products are: VERSATILE: VakSea's insect larvae system can be used to produce high-quality immunoprotective proteins for the vast majority of viruses that impact fish and shrimp. AFFORDABLE: VakSea can affordably and reliably produce specialty proteins and protein-based products that are traditionally difficult or not cost-efficient to manufacture. SIMPLE TO PRODUCE: VakSea can produce bioactive proteins that offer strong immunoprotection inside insect larvae, eschewing the complex, multi-step biochemical production and purification systems that are typically required. EASY TO DELIVER: VakSea incorporates its immune-boosting proteins into traditional feed, enabling farmers to simply feed them to fish without worrying about proper dosing.
