BlueNalu announces first-of-its-kind commercialization facility for large-scale production of cell-based seafood
BlueNalu plans to produce seafood from species that are overfished, primarily imported, contain higher levels of mercury and other environmental pollutants and/or are difficult to farm-raise.
BlueNalu, San Diego, Calif., released the design schematics for a large-scale production facility of cell-based seafood. This site is said to be the first time that any company provided facility design schematics illustrating the vision for large-scale production of foods via cellular agriculture or aquaculture.
“We have developed an optimal strategy for scaling up production of cell-based seafood from a variety of finfish, crustaceans and mollusks to meet global demand,” says Lou Cooperhouse, president and CEO. “BlueNalu will provide products that are healthy for people, humane for sea life and sustainable for our planet. As a result, we can have a major impact on supplementing our global supply chain for seafood.”
