our vision & mission
The BioFishency vision and mission is to improve aquaculture productivity and sustainability by developing, producing,
and disseminating high-quality technologies that increase aquaculture output while reducing costs
and saving resources.
BioFishency was established in 2013 as a portfolio company of The Trendlines Group. Its initial goal was to develop a cost-effective, easy-to-use, water treatment system for land-based aquaculture. Today, with system sales, a number of
installations incorporating the system in place, and a growing pipeline, the Company is focused on increasing market penetration and revenue.
our team
BioFishency’s co-founders have worked in the global aquaculture industry for nearly 25 years. Their extensive experience in growing fish and in other aspects of aquaculture led them to understand the market’s needs and to achieve impressive results.
