Dog food made with Japanese mullet and rabbitfish

Ritsumeikan University startup “Ocean Repair” (Fukuoka City) has developed an innovative solution to turn “nuisance” fish that eat seaweed into dog food. This unique approach not only reduces the environmental impact of these fish but also provides a sustainable source of nutrition for dogs.

The startup, which originated from Ritsumeikan University, has been working on this project to find a creative solution to the problem of nuisance fish. By converting these fish into dog food, Ocean Repair aims to promote sustainable fishing practices and reduce waste in the fishing industry.

The dog food, made from Japanese mullet and rabbitfish, is not only environmentally friendly but also provides a nutritious diet for dogs. This innovative solution has the potential to make a significant impact on the fishing industry and the environment.
