Application
Cultivated Fish and Seafood
Cultivated seafood is a growing area in food innovation, offering sustainable alternatives to traditional seafood products. This approach uses cultivated cells from marine animals. The process relies on providing the seafood cells with molecular and environmental cues during growth and development. It is an immensely promising approach for alleviating pressure on both wild fisheries and aquaculture systems.
Accelerating the development and widespread commercialisation of cultivated seafood can aid global strategies to maintain ocean vitality and survival.
This innovative bioprocessing approach addresses challenges of traditional seafood production by offering fundamentally higher efficiencies compared to conventional methods. Caloric energy loss through the wild food chain is eliminated, as is the wasteful production of low-value bioproducts, such as bones. Furthermore, producing cultivated seafood in aseptic cultivators improves shelf life and reduces contamination risks.
Advancing this field requires substantial research and development, particularly the development of tools and resources for aquatic species cell culture.

The preparation of cell culture media in prep tanks requires pH and conductivity monitoring. This ensures cell viability, avoids nutrient depletion, and supports cell viability under optimal nutrient conditions.
During this upstream process, seed trains expand primary cells in preparation for the primary bioreactor. Precise control of pH, DO, DCO2, and cell density is vital for robust cell growth and maximizing product yield.
Upon reaching optimal density, proliferated cells undergo differentiation, mirroring conventional fish and seafood. This maturation process is guided by specific media components and, often, scaffolds.
Harvesting occurs when cells reach optimal density, with ongoing parameter measurement ensuring enhanced control and improved yield. This step supports consistent production process efficiency.
Reusing media and water can lower process costs without compromising quality. Accurate pH and conductivity control are essential for supporting cell growth in recycled culture media. Wastewater pH monitoring is necessary for regulatory standards.
