EMYG INNOPURE - Living Seafood Chain
Based on the INNOPURE technology and applications, EMYG Environment & Aquaculture created the Living Seafood Chain. It is now possible to store and ship shellfish and live crustaceans in their water of origin: from ocean to plate!
The Living Seafood Chain is a dream come true, that of being able to enjoy seafood products from the world over as fresh as if they had just come out of the sea. Genuine substitute for the cold chain, the Living Seafood Chain will let you enjoy the taste and quality of the original products: guaranteeing their freshness, improving the well-being of the live animals and facilitating logistics for those involved in this sector.
I immediately thought that this dream could become a reality when I saw the potential of INNOPURE technology. Thanks to years of research and development and to the commitment of the entire EMYG team, I am proud to see that we have been able to develop this chain, link by link: from fishermen to restaurants, through wholesalers and distributors, and of course along with our partner CMA CGM for the shipping part. "
For the first time, the Living Seafood Chain allows to import or export up to 1.3 tons of product and to keep the live animals in storage for several months, in conditions closest to their natural environment. This innovation is revolutionizing practices since it allows them to limit the number of intermediaries and sell their products without being dependent on short term storage in line with sales periods, and thus to anticipate the market prices of consumption of both shellfish and crustaceans.
The living seafood chain it makes possible to:
- Transport live shellfish and crustaceans in water
- Guaranty the freshness of the products wherever they come from
- Guaranty the health security and traceability of shellfish and crustaceans
- Limit CO2 emissions with sea transport
Limit CO2 emissions per Kg of lobster
- by air: 3,600 grams
- by boat: 406 grams
Before
- 90% of products were shipped frozen or deep-frozen by boat
- 10% of shellfish & crustaceans were shipped live, out of water, by air transport
- The mortality rate was high
- Short use-by-date period and dependence on market prices.
- Taste and quality properties were lost, imported or exported products were depreciated.
After
- Shellfish and crustaceans are kept alive, from ocean to plate.
- Keeping conditions closest to those of their natural environment.
- Low mortality rate
- Possibility to anticipate market prices thanks to availability of products over several months.
- Taste properties and quality recognized by a Michelin-starred chef!
