Balancing Aquaculture Ecosystems

Consumer consumption outpaces the global food production. Food scarcity may become a reality within our lifetime. The global demand in seafood production offers an alternative food source to diversify the intense demand on already stretched agricultural and livestock industries. As food security becomes challenged, the nascent aquaculture industry takes speed as one of the fastest growing food sectors to meet future demands.

Aquaculture comprises 50 percent of the total global seafood supply. The economic loss from pathogenic disease is endemic in the aquaculture industry. Introducing immunostimulants decreases susceptibility to pathogens by stimulating the capacity for disease resistance. Organic matter and waste compounds accumulate over time at the bottom of farms, ponds and fisheries. Enhancing water quality with bioremediation gets rid of animal waste and decomposes residual feed. The introduction of biocontrol agents in the prevention of disease is gaining attention. Bacterial supplements of probiotics produces digestive enzymes and increases resistance to stress for cultured animals.

Sentient Life Sciences recognizes the economic challenges that small- to medium-sized aquafarms face. The focus of our solutions are simple: improve animal health and balance microbial aquaculture ecosystems. Our solutions are easily adoptable and offer a viable alternative to create the most hospitable aquatic environment for shellfish and fish flourish.
