NRGene Canada and Ile-a-la-Crosse Fish Company Inc. have completed a semi-industrial trial in Saskatoon, Canada, demonstrating that black soldier fly larvae raised on fish-processing by-products accumulate the marine omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. The partners are now planning an on-site BSF rearing facility in Ile-a-la-Crosse, Saskatchewan, following the hub-and-spoke model supported by the FairGene neonate supply joint venture.
NRGene Canada has successfully reared black soldier fly larvae containing marine omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA by feeding the insects on fish-processing by-products from Ile-a-la-Crosse Fish Company, with the trial validated at semi-industrial scale in Saskatoon. The partners are now planning an on-site rearing facility in Saskatchewan.
NRGene Canada and Île-à-la-Crosse Fish Company have validated a semi-industrial process for rearing black soldier fly larvae on fish-processing by-products, producing MaxBSF™ larvae containing the marine omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. The partners are now planning an on-site rearing facility in Île-à-la-Crosse, Saskatchewan, using a hub-and-spoke supply model with neonates sourced from the FairGene joint venture in Alberta.
NRGene Canada and Ile-a-la-Crosse Fish Company have validated a semi-industrial black soldier fly (BSF) production process using local fish-processing by-products, yielding MaxBSF™ larvae containing marine omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. The partners now plan an on-site rearing facility in Ile-a-la-Crosse, Saskatchewan, as part of NRGene Canada's hub-and-spoke insect production model.
Global fishmeal production fell 49 percent year on year in the first seven months of 2026, while fish oil output dropped 30 percent, as El Niño continued to suppress catches in Peru and Chile. IFFO's market research director said Asian producers could partially offset the shortfall in the final quarter, but demand headwinds in China's aquaculture and pig sectors are adding further pressure.
