Exclusive from AgFunder: Israeli aquaculture startup ViAqua has closed a new round of funding with Singapore-based VisVires New Protein, a global fund focusing exclusively on disruptive food and feed system solutions. 

As a finalist in the recent Fish 2.0 International Business Competition, held at Stanford University in California, I had a great opportunity to present in front of highly experienced, well-regarded aquaculture experts during the various stages of the competition. 

In this study, we evaluated the capacity of nanoparticulate RNA interference (RNAi) to down-regulate genes in Penaeus vannamei shrimp and protect shrimp against white spot syndrome virus (WSSV, i.e., white spot disease). 

​ViAqua was among the technologies featured in the nrg article on innovative research.
