A smart app is targeting overfishing while illuminated nets could help reduce bycatch.
Now a Hamburg-based startup is hoping to provide fresh fish outside the ocean using cells from salmon or rainbow trout from a controlled aquaculture.
The cells are cultivated in steel tanks with nutrients, vitamins and minerals from plants such as beans and sugarcane, but also yeast, algae and mushrooms.
The cells divide and grow into a fish product which is completely free from contaminants. After harvesting, it can even be used for sushi or made into fish fingers.
The base cells were “immortalised” without being genetically modified and provide nourishment indefinitely. Approval as food is expected soon.
Whereas in Paris others are working on cultivated foie gras.Â
