| In the changing landscape of aquaculture, the demand for sustainable and scientifically grounded practices has never been more pressing. Fishlab, a Danish company established in 2004, is facilitating this evolution by merging state-of-the-art research with practical solutions in fish fry cultivation and live feed production. With over two decades of experience, Fishlab has become a vital link between academic research and industry application, creating collaborations that drive innovation in aquaculture. Fishlab specializes in semi-extensive and intensive fish larvae production, offering comprehensive guidance on production planning, live feed cultivation, health monitoring, and disease prevention. Their expertise ensures high survival rates and robust growth in commercially cultured fish species. By integrating knowledge of water quality management, hatching strategies, and feed composition, Fishlab delivers tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of aquaculture operations. Recognizing the challenges associated with traditional live feeds like Artemia, Fishlab, in collaboration with partners, is pioneering the use of Enchytraeus albidus (white worms) as a sustainable alternative. These terrestrial worms can be mass-produced using organic by-products from industries such as brewing and coffee production, aligning with circular bioeconomy principles. Notably, feeding juvenile fish with white worms has demonstrated up to a 200% increase in growth rates, improved fish welfare and reduced mortality, marking a significant advancement in aquaculture nutrition. Fishlab’s extensive network includes collaborations with universities, consulting firms, and aquaculture companies. |
