What are the environmental benefits of your solution? 

The solution provides an immediate positive impact on the world’s wild fish stocks. 16 million tons of wild fish – almost 20% of the global fish catch are caught and processed into fish oil and fishmeal to feed farmed fish. Overfishing has placed extreme pressure on wild fish stocks – the main cause for biodiversity loss in our oceans. Veramaris solution is an immediate substitute for fish oil, meaning that fish can remain in the ocean.
