Marine Oasis


The team is currently partnering with researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, University of Pittsburgh, and University of New England Marine Science Center to answer this question. They’re looking at alternative animal-based sources (such as insects, artemia, and rotifers), along with plant sources (microalgae and soy), and fermented fungi. They’re also currently building relationships with other industry partners that are interested in improving their sustainability and quality to run prototype field trials with.
