Single Cell Proteins: The Key to Bridging the Feed Protein Gap in Aquaculture
Dr Louise Buttle, Global Technical Manager Aqua at dsm-firmenich will lead a discussion at the world’s largest aquaculture technology exhibition, AquaNor, 22 – 24 August 2023, on Bridging the Feed Protein Gap in Aquaculture with Single Cell Protein.
Key Points:
Louise will touch on a range of topics during this presentation, including:
The promise of Single Cell Proteins
The opportunities for more sustainable aquaculture
The introduction and diversification of novel proteins
Results of Salmonid feeding trials
Proving environmental footprint reduction
Timings:
Louise holds two speaking slots at AquaNor 2023:
22nd August, 13:30- 14:00 at D-334
Measuring and improving the environmental footprint of animal protein production: An introduction to DSM’s sustainability service: Sustellâ„¢ – providing an immediate understanding of your environmental impact and how to make measurable improvements.
23rd August, 12:35-12:50 at Dronning Maud

Single Cell Protein Overview
Aquafeed accounts for up to 70% of production costs and up to 80% of a producer’s environmental footprint presenting an opportunity for more sustainable aquaculture through greater efficiency, cost savings, risk mitigation and an enhanced environmental profile.
Microbial or single cell proteins (SCP) are the frontrunner when it comes to emerging proteins.
Produced by fermentation technology have a massive potential for scalability; having very high growth rates these organisms can produce a considerable amount of protein and contain all or most essential amino acids required by fish for growth and development.
Other advantages include:
Shorter generation times
The ability to use different feedstocks or substrates
No requirements for land
Possible to produce continuously throughout the year in any part of the world.
