Sustainability tool introduced for bass and bream farmers

Health, nutrition, and fragrances company DSM-Firmenich has launched a marine fish module for its IT platform Sustell, allowing producers of seabass and sea bream to map the full environmental footprint of their operations.

In 2022 DSM-Firmenich launched Sustell for salmon, with Faroes and Scotland salmon producer Bakkafrost as a development cooperation partner.

Sustell is a life cycle assessment (LCA) solution for animal protein, which DSM-Firmenich says provides the food value chain with a credible, science-based approach to collecting farm data, measuring the environmental footprint, and mapping a course for further development of the animal protein industry. 

Credible footprint

“Now marine fish producers of species such as salmonids, seabass and sea bream can conduct full life cycle assessment at scale, ensuring a strong return on investment and providing a credible and accurate footprint, and a great user experience,” said Louise Buttle, Sustell lead for aqua and global key account manager at DSM-Firmenich.

“Extending the Sustell platform to include seabass and sea bream is a demonstration of DSM-Firmenich’s commitment and continued innovations to further develop the sustainable production of seafood through aquaculture.”
