This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) / Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program (CFDA 10.212) provides $175,000 to Atlantic Fish Corporation to develop a hybrid fish nugget product consisting of cultivated fish muscle tissue and plant-based ingredients. The project aims to characterize the molecular composition of the cultivated fish muscle and how it affects the sensory properties of the hybrid nugget, in order to refine the cultivation process and achieve parity with traditional fish nuggets. This knowledge will enable the development of more advanced hybrid and fully cell-based seafood products that reduce the environmental impact of conventional seafood production.
