Fishcare (FISHCARE STORY)— a pioneer in premium aquaculture nutrition and the official distributor of VNF in Korea — 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 FlounderEarly trials incorporating Shrimp Peptide into commercial feeds have shown promising results:
Lower FCR Improved feed utilization efficiency Stronger growth performance
Next Chapter: Olive Flounder InnovationTraditionally, Olive Flounder (>100 g) are fed frozen fish. Fishcare has taken a bold step — supplying frozen fish enriched with Shrimp Peptide — to address long-standing challenges in the industry:
Higher protein content & balanced amino acid profile Improved binding & texture stability during thawing → reduced breakage, lower FCR, better economics Enhanced palatability → stronger feeding response
Scientific BackboneRuttanapornvareesakul et al. (2017) demonstrated that adding 5% hydrolyzed shrimp head protein to surimi reduces freezing-induced denaturation, preserving structure and quality after thawing — providing strong support for this approach.
A New Way ForwardBy integrating VNF Shrimp Peptide, Fishcare is setting a new benchmark for Olive Flounder farming in Korea — boosting both farm profitability and fillet quality for the premium sashimi and sushi markets.
