Groundbreaking aquafeed solution for an unexploited resource.
Partnering with MESO gives you access to a unique solution for transforming mesopelagic fish into premium marine feed ingredients for the aquaculture sector.
Together with MESO, you and your community have an opportunity to build a new industry, onshore and offshore, in a way that is not in conflict with other fishing interests.
The expansion of fish farming is driven by the world’s growing population. Since wild fish resources are limited, the increasing need for fish as a healthy and affordable source of protein, can only be filled by aquaculture.
But there’s a challenge: The aquafeed industry is running out of high-quality marine feed. The demand exceeds the supply.
That’s where the MESO Method™ comes in - offering to replace the use of fish suitable for human consumption with mesopelagic species in marine feed production.
