5 benefits of choosing MESO’s solution:
A complement to existing fisheries
MESO will contribute to sustainable exploitation of a fish resource that today, on a global scale, is not used for human consumption and without interfering with other fishing interests. MESO can also replace fishing for species that are threatened by overfishing, which can impact availability of vital sources of food.
Delivery of the best possible aquafeed
Using mesopelagic fish for aquafeed gives fish farmers access to the best protein source available. Healthy marine aquafeed is good for the fish and good for the consumers.
Creating new jobs
We will create jobs and income in communities that may struggle with poverty and unemployment. Local ownership and participation are key factors in our business model.
A long-term perspective
When we establish our operations in a country or community, we have a long-term perspective. After a license is acquired and the research phase is completed, we wish together with our local partners, to see an effective production line being established, from harvesting to final product. And we want to make sure it’s operated properly.
Commitment to sustainable operations
Our background from the Norwegian fishing and aquaculture industry, has taught us the importance of having a healthy, safe and sustainable approach to fishery and marine operations. Good governance is at the heart of our business.
