Ocean Twist Biotechnology

Ocean Twist Biotechnology is a pioneering biotech company committed to transforming the aquaculture and feed industries through cutting-edge biotechnological innovations. Our mission is to develop sustainable, high-performance alternatives to traditional feed ingredients, reducing dependency on marine resources while enhancing the efficiency and circularity of feed production. At the core of our innovation is Beyond Fishmeal, a next-generation protein ingredient designed to replicate the amino acid profile of fishmeal, enabling a 1:1 substitution in aquafeeds without compromising nutritional value or feed performance. Unlike conventional protein sources, Beyond Fishmeal is produced through our proprietary biotechnological process, which enhances the bioavailability and sustainability of plant-based byproducts and insect meal, optimizing digestibility and nutrient absorption in farmed fish. Our approach addresses some of the most pressing challenges in the aquaculture sector: securing sustainable and scalable protein sources, reducing reliance on wild fish stocks for feed production, and valorizing underutilized plant-based raw materials to minimize waste. By leveraging advanced bioprocessing techniques, we ensure that our ingredient offers superior functional and nutritional benefits, making it a viable alternative to fishmeal in commercial aquafeeds. Our business model is structured around multiple revenue streams to maximize scalability and impact. We will commercialize Beyond Fishmeal in 2026 as a standalone protein source for aquafeed manufacturers looking for a direct, sustainable replacement for fishmeal. In addition, we will license our proprietary biotechnological process to companies generating plant-based byproducts, enabling them to valorize agricultural waste streams, and to insect meal producers, allowing them to enhance protein content while reducing chitin levels, improving nutritional profile and digestibility. We also develop and sell fully formulated aquafeeds incorporating Beyond Fishmeal, providing a ready-to-use, high-performance feed solution for fish farmers. Furthermore, our biotechnological process generates valuable sidestreams such as chitin and cellulose, which can be commercialized for use in biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and other industrial applications, further enhancing the circularity and economic value of our technology. By combining ingredient sales, licensing, complete feed solutions, and sidestream valorization, we create multiple entry points for industry adoption while driving the transition toward sustainable aquaculture. This model allows us to scale production, expand market penetration, and ensure that our innovations reach the industry in the most effective way possible. With a strong scientific foundation, a scalable business model, and a clear commitment to sustainability, Ocean Twist Biotechnology is redefining the future of aquaculture by offering high-performance, sustainable alternatives to fishmeal. Through our continued innovation and industry partnerships, we are driving the next wave of sustainable feed solutions, ensuring a more efficient and responsible use of global resources in aquaculture.
