Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food production method globally and one of the most ecologically efficient forms of protein production. It is also a significant driver of economic growth, with about 12% of the world’s population relying on fisheries and aquaculture for their livelihoods.

Currently, about 60% of the world’s salmon are farmed, and 50% of seafood is produced through aquaculture, with these figures continuing to grow. The oceans cover over 70% of the Earth’s surface, which means that if managed properly, aquaculture can make a significant contribution to a sustainable food system. Only through continuous innovation can aquaculture achieve sustainable growth and feed the future population.

Enhancing the Benefits of Aquaculture

Despite the importance and exciting future prospects of aquaculture, it is a complex and high-risk industry with many factors affecting its success. Risks must be minimized, and focus must be placed on the health of farmed aquatic animals to achieve the best harvests.

Feed is one of the key factors determining the success of aquaculture. It accounts for about half of the production costs in the industry and directly impacts the health of farmed aquatic animals and the quality of the final product. Ensuring the correct balance of Omega-3 fatty acids in feed, especially during critical growth and development stages, is at the heart of this challenge.

With these insights, we ask ourselves: How can we help farmers improve their harvests?

The answer is innovation. As a producer of microalgal Omega-3 fatty acids, we are committed to continuously exploring new ideas for processes and products to maintain your competitive edge in the aquaculture feed industry.

Gamal® Algal DHA is dedicated to becoming a leading global source of algal Omega-3 fatty acids, offering competitive pricing, sustainable supply, green and low-carbon production, and scalability for feed applications. It is a feed fish oil alternative that is free from marine pollution, reduces the need for wild fish catch, and has a lower carbon footprint. Through Gamal® Algal DHA, we help maintain or increase the levels of Omega-3 in healthy diets, reduce dependence on fish oil in feed, and protect the environment.
