About Fishway
Fishway develops cultivated fish by isolating and proliferating fish stem cells in bioreactors, producing a high-nutritional biomass that mimics traditional fish fillets. This technology provides a sustainable alternative to conventional seafood, addressing the global fish supply-demand gap and eliminating health risks associated with contaminants found in wild and farmed fish.
```xml <problem> The global demand for seafood is increasing, while wild fish stocks are declining and traditional aquaculture faces limitations. Existing fishing practices can be unsustainable and pose risks of contamination from heavy metals, microplastics, and chemicals. This creates a need for alternative seafood sources that are sustainable, safe, and scalable. </problem> <solution> Fishway cultivates fish biomass by isolating and proliferating fish stem cells in bioreactors, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional seafood. The process begins with a tissue sample from a fish, from which stem cells are isolated and nurtured in optimized conditions. These cells proliferate in large bioreactors at close to room temperature, and the resulting biomass is harvested as a high-nutritional ingredient for various food applications. This cultivated fish eliminates the risks of contaminants found in wild-caught and farmed fish, while addressing the growing supply-demand gap. </solution> <features> - Isolation of fish stem cells from tissue samples - Optimized cell nurturing environment to encourage proliferation - Cultivation of cells in large bioreactors at controlled temperatures - Production of high-nutritional fish biomass equivalent to traditional fish fillets - Elimination of heavy metals, microplastics, and chemical contaminants - Sustainable alternative to wild-caught and farmed fish </features> <target_audience> Fishway's primary customers are food manufacturers and distributors seeking sustainable and healthy seafood ingredients, as well as consumers concerned about the safety and environmental impact of traditional seafood sources. </target_audience> ```
