Insights from ISFNF 2026 explore how fish nutrition is shaping the future of aquafeed innovation, from novel ingredients such as algal oil and single-cell proteins to circular feed inputs, sustainability pressures, feeding technology, and the partnerships needed to scale sustainable aquaculture.

Explore why scaling single-cell protein production remains one of the biggest barriers to feed innovation. Our latest blog examines the capital, infrastructure, and financing challenges shaping the future of SCPs in aquafeed, and what it will take to move the industry beyond the “missing middle.”

Explore the global regulatory landscape for single-cell proteins (SCPs) in aquafeed. This article examines how SCPs are approved across major aquaculture markets, the regulatory barriers limiting adoption, and how governance, feedstock rules, and GM restrictions are shaping the future of scalable fishmeal alternatives. It also explores certification schemes, regional market access, and the policy changes needed to support broader adoption.
