Problem
Salmon farming faces significant economic and animal welfare challenges from sea lice and other pathogenic infections. Conventional treatments often rely on chemical agents that leave residues, cause stress to fish, and contribute to growing parasite resistance, threatening both fish health and the sustainability of global aquaculture operations.
Solution
AquaNab provides a non-toxic, stress-free, and residue-free alternative for managing pathogens in salmon farming. The company develops specific nanoantibodies by immunizing alpacas to target pathogens affecting global salmon farming, with their first product formulated against sea lice. These organic, protein-based solutions reduce pathogenic infections while supporting fish performance and welfare, and are designed for rapid on-site integration to minimize operational complexity. The approach lowers the environmental footprint compared to conventional treatments while reducing the likelihood of parasite resistance.
Target Audience
Primary customers are global salmon farming operations seeking effective, sustainable alternatives to chemical treatments for sea lice and other pathogenic infections.
