Join us at the Protix presentation at NASF Tech Aqua 2025 in Bergen, Norway
Join us at the North Atlantic Seafood Forum (NASF) on March 4, 2025, for "Boosting Fish Health, Profits, and our Planet" – a presentation by Michel van Spankeren revealing a new calculator for farmers showing how insect protein can boost farmers' profits and lower their environmental footprint.

Bergen, Norway

About the presentation:
Insect ingredients are more than "just" a replacement for fish meal, but actually reveal themselves as a functional ingredient, similar to products such as Krill. Recently completed on-farm trials have demonstrated that high-quality insect meal from Protix, ProteinX, can improve fish yield, quality, and taste, as well as farmers’ profitability.
A new calculator based on the scientific data reveals the impact on profitability when farmers experiment with different variables, while also highlighting the impact on the environmental footprint! The consistent outcome remains clear: ProteinX is a turnkey high-quality protein that boosts profits and lowers your footprint. The science is conclusive - begin your journey towards high-performing, low-footprint feed with Protix today.
