Asparagopsis Seaweed

Asparagopsis is a naturally occurring red seaweed native to the Western Australian Coast.

CSIRO researchers found that when Asparagopsis taxiformis is added to cattle feed it significantly neutralises the methane produced in the animals’ stomachs.

In addition to reducing methane emissions from Asparagopsis feed supplement, CSIRO researchers recorded a potential of 20% growth rate enhancement during a 90-day feeding period due to the energy intensive nature of methane generation.

Future Feed

FutureFeed exists to support the use of Asparagopsis as a natural ingredient for livestock to significantly reduce carbon emissions.

They are the global IP holder for the technology and combine what’s good for the environment with what’s good for business.

FutureFeed build the animal science, certification and marketing to support the growth of the entire value chain and deliver supply chain access to seaweed producers through their license agreements.

SeaStock is a FutureFeed licensee.

As a Future Feed licensee, SeaStock are backed by a decade of world class science which has conclusively proven that Asparagopsis is extremely effective at reducing methane in ruminant animals.

Research has shown that it can reduce methane emissions by more than 80% when consumed at the low optimum level based on delivery of the bioactive marker identified as bromoform and that it is both safe for animal and subsequent human consumption.

The research was the result of a unique collaboration between a team of scientists from CSIRO and James Cook University, supported by Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) more than a decade ago.

Markets

While SeaStock's current focus is on the production of Asparagopsis based methane reducing feed supplements for ruminant livestock, SeaStock is actively engaged in identifying additional adjacent markets for other seaweed-based compounds which are currently the focus of new and ongoing research worldwide.

SeaStock’s patent pending dual extraction method to release the natural compounds in Asparagopsis can also be applied to other seaweed and algae species.

Natural Bromoform (CHBR3)

Australia’s Asparagopsis forecast demand is estimated to be 75,000mt (wet weight) annually by 2030 to offset methane generated by ruminant livestock. Additionally there is a global opportunity to produce and export Asparagopsis based feed supplements and products to major ruminant livestock producing countries.

Food and Beverage

The demand for seaweed products in the food industry is increasing globally due to its proficiency in adding nutritional value to food products. Examples of algae based food products include as supplements to a range of meat products, fish, fish products and oils, cereal based products such as pasta, flour and break and fermented products including cheese, cream and yoghurt.

Cosmetics and Personal Care

Algal compounds can be used in a variety of cosmetic and personal care products with the market set to benefit from the continued focus on naturally derived, sustainable products.

Pharmaceuticals

High grade seaweed compounds have been proven for therapeutic use as an antioxidant, tumour suppressant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, bacteria reduction and antiviral capacity among other identified uses. Compounds derived from seaweed and algae are currently in use across the pharmaceutical industry to treat a range of conditions including gall stones, stomach ailments, eczema, cancer, renal disorders, scabies, psoriasis, asthma, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, lung diseases and ulcers.

The Abrohlos Islands

SeaStock has an agreement for circa 300ha of aquaculture site in the fertile, pristine waters of the Abrolhos islands. Alongside our research partners, the company has exemptions from DPIRD to extract samples for research from multiple WA sites.

SeaStock has now secured approval for access to additional sites across Western Australia, including the Exmouth Gulf, Dampier Peninsula and the Kimberley Coast. The islands have a rich history of aquaculture and our leased area has established infrastructure of:

  • Vessels/Transport
  • Island Processing Facilities
  • Hatchery & Laboratory
  • Wharf Infrastructure

Resulting in faster research results and the ability to scale up to commercial production.

Fremantle Onshore Pilot Plant

SeaStock signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Geraldton Fishermen’s Co-op (GFC) in 2022 to allow the company to repurpose underutilised infrastructure.

SeaStock signed a lease agreement with the GFC in 2022 to build and house a pilot plant in Fremantle at one of the Co-Op’s existing facilities. The pilot plant and operational HQ is now complete with research conducted onsite in Fremantle.Further GFC sites are currently under review to facilitate SeaStock’s commercial expansion. 

Repurposed Geraldton Fishermen’s Co-Op facilities in Fremantle at Molfetta Quays were established in May 2023 as SeaStock’s initial pilot plant and operational headquarters.

Once SeaStock is able to fine tune the cultivation process at the Fremantle based pilot plant, the Company will then focus on building a fully operational plant that is able to produce Asparagopsis derived concentrate in sufficient commercial quantities to meet domestic and global demand.
