The Degradation of Marine Ecosystems: The Consequences of Overfishing
85%
of fisheries are at or beyond their limits
Overfishing and bycatch are major environmental concerns, with over 85% of the world’s fisheries pushed beyond sustainable limits. Wild-caught seafood supply remains stagnant, causing ecosystem degradation, unintended species loss, and increasing human conflict over marine resources.
Making Seafood Plant-Based, Tasty, and Versatile
Bluana Food’s plant-based raw seafood alternative replicates the taste, texture, and nutritional benefits of real fish while eliminating its downsides. Using a patented high-moisture, high-nutrient injection process, Bluana achieves 60-75% margins. The product is 40% more affordable than fish sashimi. Unlike conventional seafood, it requires no cold chain, reducing costs and environmental impact.
