[The significance of collaboration between algae cultivation and land-based marine aquaculture]
The new possibilities that breakthrough technology in algae cultivation brings to land-based aquaculture are endless.
There are two points to mention here:
1) The versatility of the cultivated algae species, which are the only food that larvae can eat, also leads to the versatility of the nutrients that can be given to larvae, which improves the survival rate of larvae after hatching and ultimately expands the species that can be cultivated.
2) By using the residue left over after extracting rare ingredients such as fucoxanthin from algae as a nutritional supplement, growth is improved, meat quality is improved, and the improved health contributes to reducing damage from infectious diseases.
Although it is called residue, it is merely the removal of the desired rare components from algal biomass, which is rich in all other components. The content of the rare components varies depending on the product, but is usually only a few percent of the dry biomass weight. Even after extracting three types of these expensive rare components, more than 90% of the residue remains, making it a luxurious residue that can be used to make nutritional supplements like Chlorella and Euglena.
Since this is to be used as feed, there is no more luxurious feed, and it is said that the quality and taste of seafood and dairy meat are determined by the feed.
It is impossible to predict what kind of brand products will be created from seafood, beef, pork, and chicken fed algal biomass.
As a fan of brand pork, I have an ambition to use it as feed for pig farming and create pork that surpasses Iberian pork.
