Fortidex Showcases BioFort-SP in Aquacultura Magazine and Digital Channels

This October, Fortidex showcased BioFort-SP in the print and digital editions of Aquacultura magazine, as well as across its social media channels. Against the backdrop of AQUAEXPO International 2026, organized by Ecuador’s Cámara Nacional de Acuacultura (CNA), this presence strengthened our visibility within the aquaculture community and introduced our nutritional solutions to industry professionals.

Less Fishmeal. More Formulation Possibilities.

BioFort-SP is a shrimp hydrolysate powder rich in low-molecular-weight bioactive peptides, designed to help reduce reliance on fishmeal and optimize formulation costs without compromising nutritional performance. Produced from fresh shrimp by-products through controlled enzymatic hydrolysis and subsequent spray-drying, it provides a stable, functional ingredient for aquafeed formulations.

In terms of low-molecular-weight bioactive peptide content, 1 kg of BioFort-SP is equivalent to 10 kg of fishmeal or 8 kg of krill meal. This comparison refers specifically to peptide content, rather than a direct replacement ratio in feed formulations.

Its key benefits include:

• High digestibility: provides an easily digestible protein fraction.
• Excellent palatability: enhances feed acceptance.
• Feed attraction: helps attract aquatic species to feed and supports feed intake.
• Bioactive peptides: delivers low-molecular-weight peptides with potential functional benefits.
• Growth support: may contribute to growth and biomass development.
• Antioxidant activity: may help protect cells against oxidative stress.
• Immune support: may help modulate the immune response.

100% Ecuadorian, BioFort-SP is produced under a circular economy model that adds value to shrimp processing by-products, with local sourcing available year-round. Through this approach, Fortidex continues to transform marine resources into high-value nutritional solutions.
