FMR PRO is a fishmeal replacer produced from farmed polychaetes. Rich in protein, it provides functional benefits to aquaculture feeds by offering a balanced amino acid profile, high digestibility and osmolytes that support fish during salinity and temperature fluctuations.
Main ingredientPolychaete
Key benefits- Enhanced palatability: improves taste leading to higher feed intake and increased biomass production.
- Taste improvement: farmed polychaetes enhance flavor and perceived freshness of aquaculture products, improving end-product quality.
- Cost predictability: stable supply and consistent pricing deliver economic advantages.
Functional benefits for your feedWith a declared protein content of 60%, FMR PRO can effectively replace portions of traditional fishmeal. It offers a favorable amino acid profile and high digestibility, and contains natural osmolytes that help maintain cellular water balance under salinity and temperature stress, reducing physiological stress and supporting efficient growth and survival. The ingredient can contribute to higher biomass and reduced waste while remaining competitively priced.
Technical benefits for feed productionThe high protein level provides formulation flexibility, enabling reduced dependence on fishmeal and supporting strategies that target sustainability and cost-effectiveness in commercial feed production.
Usage & inclusion guidanceFMR PRO can be used in combination with polychaete inclusions according to trial examples (e.g. formulations using FMR + polychaete at 0.5–10% inclusion to complement traditional fishmeal levels).
Supporting observationsTrials show small additions of polychaete can improve performance; one referenced trial reported a 21% final weight increase using 2% polychaete in trout feed.
