Unlocking a more sustainable future for aquaculture

We see novel ingredients as a key lever in the transition to a more sustainable aquaculture. These are ingredients not yet widely adopted in our industry, but with the potential to enhance feed solutions through strong sustainability credentials, nutritional value, and scalability. As global demand for seafood rises, and pressure on traditional ingredients like fish oil and fishmeal intensifies, novel ingredients offer new pathways to reduce our environmental footprint while maintaining performance and quality in aquafeeds. 

The novel ingredient space is an emerging market—dynamic and still taking shape. We are moving deliberately from exploration to implementation. The road from innovation to commercial adoption is complex, and we’re committed to supporting the suppliers that show high potential and are aligned with our sustainability ambitions. 

Cost and value remain central to broader adoption. For novel ingredients to become viable alternatives at scale they must deliver measurable value in terms of sustainability and supply resilience, at a cost point that aligns with the benefits they bring. While these ingredients may come with a price premium today, they expand sourcing options, reduce volatility, and lower risk by diversifying our supply base. Over time, as volumes increase and production methods mature, we expect cost dynamics to shift. Ultimately, it will be the market’s response—through demand and willingness to pay for more sustainable solutions—that determines when these ingredients become mainstream. 

Skretting is ready to lead this transition—actively driving innovation, forging partnerships, and building the foundations for a more robust and responsible aquaculture feed system.
