Making Waves with Impact
Forsea will realize a more sustainable, humane, healthy, and resilient future seafood production.
Using our disruptive technology, we aim to address protein cultivation industry bottlenecks and meet global food needs with real seafood experience at an affordable price.
The solution
Alternative cultivated meat production
Our Products
Forsea’s cell-cultured seafood, derived from cells harvested from threatened species, provides enhanced and wide-reaching solutions to key sustainability challenges:
Preserve and regenerate marine ecosystems
Reduce the pressure on fragile aquatic ecosystems and fight illegal trade, which in recent decades has led to a dramatic decline in populations of varieties in high demand.
Supporting threatened species
Forsea is committed to cultivating the meat of fish and seafood from the IUCN red list of threatened species, starting threatened species with eel (unagi) that cannot breed in an aquaculture environment.
Care for animal welfare
By implementing a humane and natural cell harvest process, allowing for continuous and unlimited production.
Accessible and affordable
Achieved through a streamlined process enabling cost savings, increasing consumer viability.
Our impact is aligned with the following UN SDGs:

Consequences on ecosystem biodiversity
Eels operate as freshwater predators situated at the top of the food chain. Reduced eel populations will negatively impact water-borne predators and prey and open the gate to invading species that can disrupt the wellbeing of critical indigenous species. Certain diseases and parasites are also more likely to thrive in environments with food chain imbalances.
Overfishing
Eels are particularly vulnerable due to their reproductive habits. An eel reproduces only once during its lifetime, and as overfishing depletes eel populations, the repercussions on potential spawners are felt for up to 10-15 years.
Water pollution
Eels are constantly fed with fish known as "trash fish“, which are hunted on massive scales, held in large cages in the ocean, and then shipped to aquaculture farms. These practices are a source for vast marine pollution.
