Fish-Free Omega-3 soon on the markets.

This is not an Omega-3 promotion. However, for decades scientists were looking for alternative methods of Omega-3 production due to the increasingly high demand for it. The growing demand for omega-3 is currently fulfilled by increased fishing activities, resulting in over 100 million tonnes of fish caught for this purpose per annum globally - which has caused serious concerns of overfishing.

Now a team of scientists from The Sydney University, BioMolecular Engineering has figured out a way to use bacteria to produce Omega-3 supplements. Unlike other supplements in the market, this product does not derive its fatty acids from fish. Instead, it uses advanced precision fermentation to elaborate omega-3 oils composed of wild bacterial extracts, some of which were discovered in Australian soil and waters before laboratory domestication.

They hope to market this within four years. Good news for the fish too.!

Yes they do... You can extract Omega 3 from their oils. But genetically modified plant seeds (Camelina sativa - false flax) with genes from microalgae – the main producers of the omega 3 fatty acids DHA and EPA - was more practical. The oil extracted from the seeds can then be used as a more sustainable alternative to fish oils. Scientists tried many approaches for more than a decade.
The current finding seems to be a workable alternative. Let's see.
