🐟 VNF Shrimp Peptide: Unlocking New Efficiency for Olive Flounder Farming in Korea πŸ‡°πŸ‡·

Fishcare (FISHCARE STORY)β€” a pioneer in premium aquaculture nutrition and the official distributor of VNF in Korea β€” is pushing innovation forward by expanding the application of Shrimp Peptide to Olive Flounder, a high-value species for Korea’s sashimi and sushi markets.
🌱 Proven Success with Starry Flounder
Early trials incorporating Shrimp Peptide into commercial feeds have shown promising results:
πŸ”Ή Lower FCR
πŸ”Ή Improved feed utilization efficiency
πŸ”Ή Stronger growth performance
🧊 Next Chapter: Olive Flounder Innovation
Traditionally, Olive Flounder (>100 g) are fed frozen fish. Fishcare has taken a bold step β€” supplying frozen fish enriched with Shrimp Peptide β€” to address long-standing challenges in the industry:
βœ… Higher protein content & balanced amino acid profile
βœ… Improved binding & texture stability during thawing β†’ reduced breakage, lower FCR, better economics
βœ… Enhanced palatability β†’ stronger feeding response
πŸ“š Scientific Backbone
Ruttanapornvareesakul et al. (2017) demonstrated that adding 5% hydrolyzed shrimp head protein to surimi reduces freezing-induced denaturation, preserving structure and quality after thawing β€” providing strong support for this approach.
πŸš€ A New Way Forward
By integrating VNF Shrimp Peptide, Fishcare is setting a new benchmark for Olive Flounder farming in Korea β€” boosting both farm profitability and fillet quality for the premium sashimi and sushi markets.
