November 29, 2023 — The Future of Fish Feed (F3) has selected the 10 companies that will get to compete in its krill replacement challenge, the latest in a series of contests designed to increase innovation in the aquaculture feed ingredient space.
F3 selected the 10 finalists from 40 different companies that signed up to participate in the competition. F3 has run the challenge every year since 2015, and requires participants to innovate and sell a new fish-free variety of aquaculture feed that in the past has focused on metrics like the presence of omega-3s in the alternative feed, and feeds targeting a specific species raised via aquaculture such as salmon or shrimp.
