Disease devastates the aquaculture industry and is considered to be the number one threat to the sustainability of the industry as well as the viability of farms. Once animals become infected with a viral disease, there is nothing farmers can do – there is no cure and often 100% mortality occurs within a few days. These conditions economically devastate farmers while the effects of total crop failure reverberate throughout the entire seafood supply chain.

Our mission is to increase the efficiency and quality of aquaculture production. By increasing the aquaculture industry’s disease resilience, we can significantly and sustainably increase the global food supply while reducing the waste caused by crop losses from disease outbreaks.

VakSea has developed an insect larvae platform to bio-manufacture functional feed additives that protect fish and shrimp from viral disease, with increased survival rates demonstrated in multiple species in challenge studies. Our orally delivered, immune-boosting proteins are affordable, effective and easy to deliver through feed.
