Markets

While our current focus is on the production of Asparagopsis based methane reducing feed supplements for ruminant livestock, SeaStock is actively engaged in identifying additional adjacent markets for other seaweed-based compounds which are currently the focus of new and ongoing research worldwide.

+ meat and dairy industry

+ pharmaceuticals 

+ cosmetic and skin care products

+ food and beverages

Natural Bromoform (CHBr3)

When Asparagopsis is used as a feed additive for ruminants like cattle, it has been found to significantly reduce methane emissions from these animals.

Australia’s Asparagopsis forecast demand is estimated to be 75,000mt (wet weight) annually by 2030 to offset methane generated by ruminant livestock. Additionally there is a global opportunity to produce and export Asparagopsis based feed supplements and products to major ruminant livestock producing countries.

Food and Beverage

The demand for seaweed products in the food industry is increasing globally due to its proficiency in adding nutritional value to food products and replacing synthetic food colouring.

Its natural origin appeals to health-conscious consumers, and it maintains color quality under various conditions. With our 0.7 purity rating, our natural pigment is safe for consumption, provides antioxidant benefits, making it a compelling alternative to synthetic colourants.

SeaStock’s red pigment can be used across a range of food and beverages from energy and sports drinks, confectionary, cereals, meat, and dairy products.

Cosmetics and personal care

Our natural red pigment is well-aligned with the increasing market demand for natural and sustainable beauty products. With a purity index of 3.0, the natural bioactive compound can be used to replace synthetics.

Alongside being a colourant, R-PE also has antibacterial, anti-aging, anti-allergy, antiviral and collagen promoting properties.

The sustainability benefit from a naturally derived ingredient adds significant value, positioning us advantageously within global markets. 

Pharmaceuticals

High grade seaweed compounds have been proven for therapeutic use as an antioxidant, tumour suppressant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, bacteria reduction and antiviral capacity among other identified uses.

Compounds derived from seaweed and algae are currently in use across the pharmaceutical industry to treat a range of conditions including gall stones, stomach ailments, eczema, cancer, renal disorders, scabies, psoriasis, asthma, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, lung diseases and ulcers.

Zoe HOpKINSON

Production Technician

In 2023 Zoe completed a Bachelors in Coastal and Marine Science at Curtin University. During her study Zoe also gained work experience as an aquaculture volunteer, including roles with PhD students and Department Primary Industry Resource Development (DPIRD).  In addition Zoe worked at the Geraldton TAFE commercial hatchery, which introduced her knowledge to cultivate Asparagopsis seaweed and aquaculture operations.
Within completing Zoe's degree, she also completed field work studies on fish behaviours and interacted with multiple marine based professionals.  Zoe had access to innovative technology that made her learning & experiences much more immersive and accessible, enabling her to gain experience in technologies, equipment and platforms used within the aquaculture research industry.  Zoe is thrilled to be a part of the Seastock science team, which has further ignited her passion for the ocean and participating in work which will benefit the state of our climate. Working towards a more positive future for all.
