Single-cell protein ingredient shows promise in shrimp feed trial

ProTyton doubles post larval shrimp survival rates, and leads to a 50% weight gain in the shrimp, company said.

ProTyton is an anaerobically produced single-cell protein ingredient that exhibits upwards of 85wt % crude protein and over 40wt % essential amino acids. The product is highly digestible and performed well in multiple aquaculture diets and is now being evaluated by major aquafeed companies.
