F3 Krill Replacement Challenge
Category:NewsFuture of Fish Feed (F3) has launched its newest contest focused on aquaculture feed: Krill Replacement Challenge
Future of Fish Feed (F3) is a collaborative effort between NGOs, researchers, and private partnerships to accelerate the commercialization of innovative, substitute aquaculture feed ingredients to replace wild-caught fish. The F3 Challenge is a series of contests designed to help accelerate “fish-free” ingredients for aquaculture feed that produce healthy seafood for consumers without utilizing wild ocean fish like anchovies, sardines and menhaden.

The F3 Krill Replacement Challenge aims to stimulate innovation for a more sustainable substitute for krill.
The contest is open to 10 companies or teams that are either the owners or licensees of the rights to distribute the distinct formulation of the feed additive, attractant, or other feed enhancing product, which may be used as a krill replacement in aquaculture feeds.
Each competitor’s krill replacements will be incorporated into a plant-based feed that will be fed to Atlantic salmon for 12 weeks. The prize (USD $100,000) will be awarded to the krill replacement that results in the best growth, feed consumption and survival.
Registration is open until August 31, 2023, with a possible extension to October 31, 2023 if spots are still available.
