00:19The sustainable limits of what you can catch out of the ocean at the moment have been reached
00:24and you can't physically catch any more out of the seas.
00:27Farm fish, especially salmon, are carnivores.
00:30We have to go out and catch all the small fish, mince them up and use them to feed our
00:36farm fish.
00:52When you look down the food chain, the algae are the ones that actually produce the omega-3s.
00:58So if you can produce the algae and you can grow that algae, you can get the omega-3s without
01:03actually having to go through the whole food chain.
01:21One of the things that's really abundant in Scotland is the byproducts of the whiskey industry.
01:25You take all the whiskey byproducts and some other bits and you put them into these big stainless steel tanks
01:31and you let the algae feed on all of that nutritious goodness.
01:36It's like algae farming.
01:52All of the world's omega-3 industries seem to want to embrace us at the minute.
01:56So the pet food industry is our main one at the moment.
02:00We're working with the aqua feed industry.
02:02We're currently in the process of building out our full commercial site,
02:06and that's thousands of tons worth of product every year,
02:09which is in the omega-3 world a good start but a drop in the bucket.
02:15So we've got lots more fish to save still.
02:21For us, it's been huge in terms of credibility in the market.
02:26I think when we talk about our ability to impact what comes out of the ocean
02:30and our ability to look after the oceans,
02:33I think having the Earthshot Prize behind us has been a huge win for us.
02:50We'll see you next time.
