Fiskmjöl är en bra proteinkälla i fiskarnas mat, men bidrar till överfiske och rubbar havens ekosystem. Därför har en annan proteinkälla undersökts, nämligen bakterien Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus. Denna bakterie har högt proteininnehåll och kan odlas i labb genom att mEvery second fish consumed by humans today is produced in aquaculture, and the main protein source in the fish feed is fishmeal.
