  • Whisky Waste Water Makes Good Fish Food

    A company that makes microalgae from the by-products of whisky that can be used as fish food for farmed salmon has secured a £500,000 investment to expand its business.
    MiAlgae, founded by former Edinburgh University student Douglas Martin, uses by-products from the distilling process to grow Omega 3-rich algae for feeding farmed salmon.

    Martin founded the business in 2016 as a means of producing an “economically and environmentally-friendly” fish feed to support Scottish fish farms, which produce over 160,000 tons of salmon every year.
