An estimated 88 million forage fish have been saved from being fish food since contestants began reporting sales, according to the F3 Feed Innovation Network’s forage fish savings calculator. The sales contest is designed to spark innovation in the aquafeed industry in order to find viable, cost-competitive replacements to fishmeal and fish oil in aquaculture feed. The initiative includes US$100,000 in prizes in each of three categories – salmonid, shrimp, and other carnivorous species. |

Dainichi Corporation remains in the lead in the other carnivorous species category for its “fish-free” feed for red sea bream. The contestants Star Milling Co. (salmonid category) and Empagran/Veramaris (shrimp category) maintain their leads in their respective categories. |
