Use of a Heterotrophic Microorganism (Sphaeroforma Artica) For the Valorization of Residues From the Fishing Industry by Fermentation

The management of residues represents a major challenge for the fishing and aquaculture industry. In order to improve the valorization of these residues, a new approach using a fermentation process by a protist has been developed to reintegrate these residues into the cosmetic and nutraceutical markets. This project is a collaboration between Iso-BioKem Laboratories Inc. and Ocean NutraSciences Inc. and aims to evaluate to constraints of scaling up this process both in terms of handling the residues and optimizing the culture parameters.
