THE GLOBAL CHALLENGE

The Ocean Cannot Provide What the World Needs.

Wild fish stocks have been stagnant for 20 years, yet global demand for Omega-3 and protein is accelerating. The current supply chain is broken—reliant on polluted marine ecosystems and diminishing yields. By 2030, the world faces a 500,000-tonne deficit in essential fatty acids.

PURE BIOTECHNOLOGY

Cultivating the Original Source.

Fish don’t make Omega-3; they get it from eating algae. We bypass the fish entirely. Our proprietary photobioreactor technology cultivates microalgae in a controlled, sterile environment, delivering pure ingredients with zero marine impact.

100% Plant-Based & Traceable: Free from heavy metals and microplastics.

Closed-Loop Purity: 95% water recycling via sterile industrial systems.

Carbon-Negative: Our algae consumes CO2 during production.

The Canterbury Advantage.

Headquartered in Christchurch, the heart of NZ’s agritech innovation. We leverage a 90% renewable energy grid, a world-class scientific workforce, and direct export routes to Asian markets.
